Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven is the most played song in the history of American radio. Soon after its release, guitar shops began to ban budding guitarists from trying out their skills on the intro. Stairway has been covered by more than a hundred artists and the song is so popular that Rolf Harris was able to storm the charts with his wobble board version. John Cavanagh tells the story behind the classic song that has become the template for the epic rock anthem.
