Robert Plant- Our Song (March 1967\nRobert made his first public performances as a teenager at Stourbridge\'s Seven Stars Blues Club. He had spells with several local bands including one called the Crawling King Snakes, where he first met John Bonham. In 1966 Robert was in a group called Listen when he attracted the attention of CBS Records. His first recording contract was to make three singles for CBS, but none of these made any significant impact.\n Robert found a more settled home when he joined the Birmingham-based Band of Joy. The band went through several changes of personnel, but the best incarnation featured John Bonham on drums and Kevyn Gammond on guitar. The band were popular in the Midlands, and achieved some success on the London club circuit as a support act, but they failed to secure a recording contract. A few demo tracks are the only legacy from this period. Unable to make further progress, the Band of Joy broke up in the middle of 1968.\nRobert next worked with veteran blues bandleader Alexis Korner, while John Bonham joined Tim Rose\'s band. Robert also played with another local band called Obs-Tweedle, which included Bill Bonham, John\'s cousin. Although he tried hard and showed promise, Robert\'s career did not appear to be going anywhere in particular at this stage\nObstweedle:\nBill Bonham organ, piano\nRichard Brown guitar\nMac Bailey drums\nRobert Plant lead vocal\nBarry Sargeant drums\nOur Song\n\nOur song - we used to call it our song\nIt helped us say hello once\nIt made us fall in love once\nWithout knowing\nAnd how we tried so not to show it\nEven though we didn\'t know it\nOur song became just a little bit sadder\nBut it didn\'t seem to matter\nEven when I kissed you\nI couldn\'t please you\nAnd then all at once our love was gone\nAll you left me was our song\nEvery time I hear that song I could cry\nNow you don\'t belong - we\'ve said our goodbye\nI\'m still wondering why\nOh yeah - those tears in my eyes\nOur love started like a song\nBut the melody went wrong\nThere\'s nothing left to do now\nSo I look around for someone new\nSomeone who is very, very, very lonely too\nThen I won\'t sing our song\n\n\nLaughin\' Cryin\' Laughin\'\nwas not released. \nI cant find the audio to Laughin but here are the lyrics...\n\nLaughing Crying Laughing\nLaughing - crying - laughing\nGirls only jam my head\nLaughing - crying - laughing\nMight as well jump back in bed\nI turn the lights way down low\nI listen to my radio\nJack loves Jill - she don\'t care\nLeft him hanging in the air\nWhen you find that love is blind\nDon\'t come to me - no sympathy\nWill I give - will I take\nLove is a man\'s worst mistake\n[Laughing - crying - laughing]\nGirls just rip my brain - believe me, girl\n[Laughing - crying - laughing]\nI\'ll simply be praying how to end this game\nWith a wink of an eye\nA girl could trample any guy\nWhen you find that love is blind\nDon\'t come to me - no sympathy\nWill I give - will I take\nLove is a man\'s worst mistake\nAnd every day is Blue Monday, baby\nSince you\'re gone away from me\nAnd I\'m so sad and lonely, girl\nEvery day I\'m in misery\nAnd all I do is keep crying about you, girl\nBecause you are so far away\nBut I know deep down inside, girl\nI\'m gonna bring you back some day\n\nIn 1967 the group broke up and Robert Plant joined the Band Of Joy.
