In re: MOG, and Anne Briggs
Unless there's another song "Baby, I'm Gonna.." vs "Babe, I'm Gonna...." this may be a new record for conflicting claims. I'm pretty sure that the songwriting credit that I saw for the song was attributed to Anne Johansen. So I guess that there at least a half dozen people (Page, Briggs, Bretton, Johansen, et. al.) who wrote "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You" separately and, more or less, simultaneously. Marty |
Google and/or wikipedia can help resolve Bredon/Johannson vs. Page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babe_I%27m_Gonna_Leave_You Sorry - no idea how Briggs fits into any of that... |
guys: i stand corrected on the "baby i'm gonna leave you" credit--per mr. hosehead et. al. it was anne bredon (who is the same person as anne johannsen, her married name). apparently she beefed after zeppellin recorded the song and the songwriting credit was subsequently changed to bredon/page/plant. none of which should dissuade you from listening to anne briggs, who haunts me still. |
