Charles Connor

 * ... that the drum introduction to Led Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll" actually copied Charles Connor drumming on Little Richard's 1957 hit "Keep A-Knockin'"?

 * Symbol confirmed.svg New article when nominated, sizeable enough (1916 B), interesting hook given that it involves the greatest band of all time (IMHO), which is backed up by the sources. I suggest a slight rewrite...


 * ALT1: ... that John Bonham copied Charles Connor drumming on Little Richard's 1957 hit "Keep A-Knockin'" for the introduction to Led Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll"?
 * Whether or not the album (Led Zeppelin IV) or year (1971) of "Rock and Roll" should be mentioned, I dunno, since the hook is a little long as is (but not unduly long, there's room within the 200 character limit). – Muboshgu (talk) 21:34, 14 May 2012 (UTC)


 * ALT2: ... that John Bonham copied Charles Connor drumming on Little Richard's 1957 hit "Keep A-Knockin'" for the introduction to Led Zeppelin's 1971 hit "Rock and Roll"?
 * I prefer ALT1; it seems unnecessary to include "1971" and ALT2 uses the word "hit" twice. Thanks for the input.  matt (talk) 07:10, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
