When the Levee breaks , nobodys fault and others are very old blues tunes, written in the 1920's , Ma & Pa Rainey (levee), Blind Willie Johnson (nobodys fault). Same music/same lyrics, word for word.

Actually, the "hunter" portion of "How Many More Times" is a direct rip-off of "The Hunter" by Albert King. The song was credited as being written by Booker T and The MG's, but "How Many More Times" is credited to Page, Jones, and Bonham. You just can't do that.

That doesn't make it right. But again, you're referring to other artists that gave full credit to the songwriters of the songs they were covering. LEP ZEP didn't do that!!!

Why is this so hard to understand? I distinctly remember Cream crediting Skip James for writing "I'm So Glad."
