Jimmy Page and Robert Plant will be in court today over the copyright issue of ‘Stairway To Heaven’ sounding an awful lot like a song titled, “Tarus” a song written in 1967 by the group Spirit. Stairway To Heaven was recorded in 1970. So is it possible that Plant and Page heard ‘Tarus’ and the tune stuck in the mind while they were crafting their next big hit? Absolutely. Take a listen to this comparison of two parts of each song and you’ll see that they are very similar. The two bands have history together as well, Zeppelin opened for Spirit back in the day. The lawsuit could be worth as much as $40,000,000.
