Mary J. Blige will be bringing even more soul to a couple Led Zeppelin tunes on her upcoming reissue of “Stronger With Each Tear.” In addition to her cover of “Stairway to Heaven”, she’s doing a version of “Whole Lotta Love.” (!!) Mary says, “I am a Led Zeppelin fan. I’m not going to say I’ve been to their concerts, but I’ve listened to their music since I was a child, and it’s always moved me.”
Look for Mary J.’s new reissue in stores March 15th.
Imagine the combination of the “Queen of Hip-Hop Soul” and the bluesy hard edge of Zeppelin. For some reason, “Stairway to Heaven” is MUCH easier to imagine than “Whole Lotta Love” ! WOW!
Just for fun, here’s the Zep version…
