There are many variations on the same theme…in some she escapes, and in some, the money never comes.\n\nThe tune got Led Zeppelin in a bit of hot water, as claims were made that the supergroup plagiarized Ledbetter on their version. While Lead Belly is listed as the songwriter on some of his releases, it’s more accurately listed on others as “Traditional”. On Led Zeppelin III, this song is credited as “Traditional, arr. Page/Plant”. Page himself acknowledged both Lead Belly and Fred Gerlach as sources of inspiration. \n\nhttps://soundbeat.org/episode/gallis-pole/", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
