Jimmy Page, the guitarist of Led Zeppelin, played the iconic intro to "Stairway to Heaven." He is known for creating the intricate acoustic guitar opening, which gradually builds into a more powerful electric guitar solo as the song progresses. His work on the intro is considered one of the most famous and recognizable in rock history."Stairway to Heaven" is a song by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, released in 1971 on the band's untitled fourth studio album. Composed by guitarist Jimmy Page with lyrics written by lead singer Robert Plant, it is widely regarded as one of the greatest rock songs of all time and by some as the greatest. The song has 3 sections, each one progressively increasing in tempo and volume. The song begins in a slow tempo with acoustic instruments (guitar and recorders) before introducing electric instruments. The final section is an uptempo hard rock arrangement, highlighted by Jimmy Page's guitar solo and Plant's vocals, which ends with the plaintive a cappella line "And she's buying a stairway to heaven". The song was voted number 3 on list of the "100 Greatest Rock Songs" in 2004 Rolling Stone magazine ranked "Stairway to Heaven" number 31 on its "500 Greatest Songs of All Time" list. It was the most-requested song on FM radio stations in the United States at the time, despite never having been commercially released as a single in the US. In 2007, through download sales promoting Led Zeppelin's Mothership release, "Stairway to Heaven" reached number 37 on the UK Singles Chart.
