Holmes played this song wile performing as an opening act for the Yardbirds. The group liked it. A lot. Jimmy Page added guitar riffs and reworked the lyrics with vocalist Keith Relf. The Yardbirds version is still haunting and eerie but with a lot more rocking.

Page's subsequent band, the New Yardbirds, renamed themselves Zed Zeppelin. Robert Plant revised the lyrics again and took the vocals to a yet more powerful level. Even though the song is credited to Page it's clearly a version of what Holmes released only two years earlier.

Holmes sued Page for copyright infringement. They settled out of court. Led Zep's label revised the notation on future printings, crediting the song to "Page – Inspired by Jake Holmes".
