Ugh I fucking love the way she sang this song! Took an unbelievable amazing song and made it different but still hella good. Shes so unique. Nice video, good job :)
Dolly's rendition is one of the best versions of Stairway to Heaven after Zeppelin. An it's hands down a thousand time better than Tiny Tim's attempt of this classic song.
I can't believe Dolly is singing a Zepplin cover and what I can't believe is that it's working with a country twang! No wonder Dolly's a legend! Who'd have thought to use a banjo, but it sounds good.
This song was originaly sung on a recording by Leadbelly. It was a working song sung in the fields. Threre are very few songs today that are not covers. So to tghk3
do your homework before you give a bad comment.......

okay. what the FUCK happened to the solo and why did she completely butcher the end!!!!!????!!!!! this is why zeppelin, are the only ones that should be doing zeppelin.
@tghk3 Just so u realize a cover is a person´s unique take on a song. plus if ur one of those people who thinks that no one can do zeppelin better than zeppelin then why would u watch the video? by the way this is an awesome version!
anyone who favors Led Zeppelin's version, that's all well and good. But Zeppelin loved Dolly's version more, even claiming that Dolly couldn't screw anything up, and her version was the best.
SHOULDN'T BE ALOAD!!!! END OF!!! NO DESRESPECT TO MISS PARTON BUT THIS SONG SHOULD BE LEFT ALONE. NEVER SHOULD BE COVERED BY ANY ARTIST!!!!! NUFF SAID!!!
I think this is a wonderful and sensitive take on a classic song. It always amazes me that people will listen to a "cover " and then complain it is not the original.. The beauty of a great song or artist is the ability to trancend the moment and touch the human soul..Music is not static and people are not either... I like both versions. If a person prefers a particular version of a song then they should listen to it. Peace in all things.... Rick :~)
@seniorpibb If you read more carefully, that is not what I said....With all due respect she did not "ruin the song" That is simply a matter of taste.. To each his own.... Peace always Rick :~)
Wow! There are a lot of haters. Dolly did a great job on an iconic song. Robert Plant gave it the ok. Just shut up and enjoy the music and quit acting like you are qualified to make any kind of comment on the talents or tastes of others. I always enjoy hearing other artists interpretations of great songs.
Also, I found this cover because it was #5 on a list of WORST covers of all time. Zeppelin's Stairway was #1 on a list (from same website) of GREATEST Rock songs ever. I think I've made my point.
@Lurtzman1 So someone agrees with you. I think the same site (which had the Beatles outside of the top 3 on a best artists list) saying it's the best of all time loses credibility, because it makes them biased against any cover of this song. This is a very competent perfomance. Of course there are going to be people who aren't going to like it no matter how good it is because just they like the original.
@ilovekelly75 I was not aware they had an overall list, if u would be kind enough to send me the url where it states that, i would be most appreciative
I get that some people like this, but whoever says this is better than Led Zeppelin's deserves to be deaf. Robert Plant is an infinitely better singer, John Bonham= Greatest Drummer Ever, John Paul Jones= best multi-instrumentalist, Jimmy Page= best guitarist still alive. Those who say this is better, probably never heard the original.
@Lurtzman1 People are entitled to an opinion. I think LZ's is better, but it's just my humble opinion. Another opinion is as to who's the better singer. The same website that said this cover was bad has Dolly as the 2nd bet female country vocalist ever. She was one of the few country singers to make Rolling Stone's list, a magazine which heavily favors rock. Find me one list of best country singers / vocalists / artists that doesn't have her near the top.
@40AcreMule Nobody can cover this song my friend.Some songs CAN'T be covered.I respect BIG Robert Plant's opinion,but i'm not agree.And i'm not the only one..And also,what about Jimmy Page's opinion,who wrote this HEAVENLY music,about this crap cover?I'm not sure that he's agree with his old mate Robert...
i heard dolly say in an interview when she was thinking of doing this song, she called robert plant, and robert gave his blessing, and actually said he and jimmy page saw stairway as a folk song, and when he heard the finished version, he loved it
i heard dolly say in an interview when she was thinking of doing this song, she called robert plant, and robert gave his blessing, and actually said he and jimmy page saw stairway as a folk song, and when he heard the finnished version, he loved it
@scrib1234 Thank you. Years ago when my sister and I heard she remade it, we ran to the computer to download it to laugh and we thought she rocked it. Sorry, but her voice is lovely and she really added some nice layers with the banjo and choir.
@fifimsp I had a friend dying of cancer, just before she passed away, she heard this on TV and told me about it. I took her to my house and downloaded the song and we listened to it together. It was the only time she ever talked about God. After she passed away, I made this video for her.
@FladdSherrell That's very kind of you to make the video. Sorry about your friend. I've recently had loved ones die of cancer and now a co-worker I know got diagnosed. So, I understand.
The idea that there can be only one version of a song is ludicrous. What makes a great song is that it can be interpreted differently, by different people, and still stand up as a great song. The only disrespect for Led Zeppelin is the morons who think no one else should ever approach their music. That is the surest way to make sure music disappears into history.
Do we need this cover werson? I would say a big NO. The original is so much better. This didn't give me anything. Dolly has done some great things, but this is not one of them.
Dolly sang this song with a sensitivity she brings to everything she sings. She knows a great song like everyone else. I love this version. I don't think they are competing for a prize so I'll leave it at that.
Great version of this song...as the words roll along, I feel like I'm in a story. Parton has taken a classic and made it her own in an equally impressive way. I pity those who can't sit and appreciate this work. Music is subjective, but there's no need to criticize. I'd like to see your versions of this song?
This sucks big time. Whitney Houston owned Dolly on her own song "I will always love you" so what makes Dolly think she can cover Led Zepplin's classic "Stairway to Heaven"?
@TheJimrushing Dolly got owned by Whitney on her own song "I will always love you", so what makes you think she is on the same level as the greatest rock band of all time. Led Zepplin are geniuses of rock music, Dolly Parton is genius of nothing. Look at Led Zepplin's lineup - Jimmy Page is one of the top 5 guitarists of all time, the drummer Jon Bonham is arguably the greatest drummer of all time, John Paul Jones is regarded as the greatest bassist and Plant is one of the great singers of rock.
A great version, well done Dolly Parton and it is an honour to Led Zeppelin. Wonderful songs deserve to be interpreted by great artists. It adds to the original genius.
@Lostace007 God man, I hope you're joking. Page had the idea for a long ballad with drums coming in toward the end. Once he had a melody he sat and played it for Plant over and over. It's said that Plant wrote 90% of the lyrics in less than an hour. If you're joking...it's not funny.
I have to admit, I'm kinda 50/50 on covers, but when done well they can be great. Look how well W/ Houston covered I will always love you. That said, I love Dolly but I really thought she was gonna be out of her league her, I was wrong. This was most impressive. But that's why the greats are the greats, remember the grammy's when Aretha sang Nessun Dorma, I still get chills when I hear that and I don't know anything about Opera.
This isn't horrible, And some artists do consider covers the highest form of flattery. Except for you Shook me all night long by Celine Dion. That version would even burn the devil's ears.
I really don't understand why non-musicians seem to have such problems with covers. The original musicians themselves often truly like a cover of their music. They seem to be much more open to interpretations different from their own than those who seem to be here simply to dis music they don't understand.
@walkshe Well then why do you Dolly Parton fans keep bitching about Whitney Houston brilliant cover version of "I will always love you"? You are a bunch of hypocrites. Both Led Zepplin and Whitney Houston had way more talent than Dolly Parton
@WhoLueYou Gee, I don't remember ever bitching about Whitney's cover. Actually, I've never complained about anyone's cover. I judge them each fairly, standing on their own merrit, and I learned long ago if I don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all. I don't leave negative comments for ANYONE!
Any song can be redone, and , by the way, Robert Plant LIKES this version. Perfection inspires imitation. It really isn't THAT bad of a cover, could've been done by Crash Test Dummies. . . .
It's obvious the only people who like Led's version better are crack heads. The Houston press stated her version was better, you can google it by searching under Houston Press 10 greatest country covers that topped the orignial pop recordings. No disrespect to Led, but I just listened to both versions and I have to say Dolly did do a kickass job on this song.
One I 'm amazed. It turned out alot better than I would 've ever imagine. Two, its got a dark appalachian feel to it. Almost a appalachian funeral feel to it.
I was extremely curious about Dolly covering this song. The LZ version is an all-time classic but, I have to admit, this version surprised me. I have always loved Dolly's voice and hearing her version of this rock classic was awesome. Both versions give me that spine tingling feeling. Way to go Dolly!
well I'm no fan of Dolly's, and though Led Zeppelin original will always be the best version of this (no controversy there!) Dolly covered this well I think, hell I like it!
Robert Plant said "'You know, the thing is that she's not wailing -- she's keeping it within the genre, and she's a good singer. Maybe she didn't get the last bit properly, and maybe that's sort of how the idioms have changed so much, that maybe it doesn't matter -- maybe that's the way to do it.''
Ugh I fucking love the way she sang this song! Took an unbelievable amazing song and made it different but still hella good. Shes so unique. Nice video, good job :)

@Lostace007 God man, I hope you're joking. Page had the idea for a long ballad with drums coming in toward the end. Once he had a melody he sat and played it for Plant over and over. It's said that Plant wrote 90% of the lyrics in less than an hour. If you're joking...it's not funny.

I have to admit, I'm kinda 50/50 on covers, but when done well they can be great. Look how well W/ Houston covered I will always love you. That said, I love Dolly but I really thought she was gonna be out of her league her, I was wrong. This was most impressive. But that's why the greats are the greats, remember the grammy's when Aretha sang Nessun Dorma, I still get chills when I hear that and I don't know anything about Opera.

This isn't horrible, And some artists do consider covers the highest form of flattery. Except for you Shook me all night long by Celine Dion. That version would even burn the devil's ears.

there's a difference between covering a song and completely rearranging a song

I really don't understand why non-musicians seem to have such problems with covers. The original musicians themselves often truly like a cover of their music. They seem to be much more open to interpretations different from their own than those who seem to be here simply to dis music they don't understand.

@walkshe Well then why do you Dolly Parton fans keep bitching about Whitney Houston brilliant cover version of "I will always love you"? You are a bunch of hypocrites. Both Led Zepplin and Whitney Houston had way more talent than Dolly Parton
WhoLueYou 11 months ago
@WhoLueYou Gee, I don't remember ever bitching about Whitney's cover. Actually, I've never complained about anyone's cover. I judge them each fairly, standing on their own merrit, and I learned long ago if I don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all. I don't leave negative comments for ANYONE!

Any song can be redone, and , by the way, Robert Plant LIKES this version. Perfection inspires imitation. It really isn't THAT bad of a cover, could've been done by Crash Test Dummies. . . .

It's obvious the only people who like Led's version better are crack heads. The Houston press stated her version was better, you can google it by searching under Houston Press 10 greatest country covers that topped the orignial pop recordings. No disrespect to Led, but I just listened to both versions and I have to say Dolly did do a kickass job on this song.

I was extremely curious about Dolly covering this song. The LZ version is an all-time classic but, I have to admit, this version surprised me. I have always loved Dolly's voice and hearing her version of this rock classic was awesome. Both versions give me that spine tingling feeling. Way to go Dolly!

well I'm no fan of Dolly's, and though Led Zeppelin original will always be the best version of this (no controversy there!) Dolly covered this well I think, hell I like it!
Robert Plant said "'You know, the thing is that she's not wailing -- she's keeping it within the genre, and she's a good singer. Maybe she didn't get the last bit properly, and maybe that's sort of how the idioms have changed so much, that maybe it doesn't matter -- maybe that's the way to do it.''
