It's the birthday of Jimmy Page today. The legendary Led Zeppelin guitarist is 68 years old.
It would be impossible to capture in one short shout-out all that Page has influenced in rock 'n' roll. He's on numerous lists of the greatest guitarists of all time. He's a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with both the The Yardbirds and Zeppelin. He's synonymous with the sound of the '70s.
We've strung together just a few videos here to mark the occasion and recognize a true great.
"Ramble On" and "Going to California" make this favorites list. You have others, no doubt. And if you've missed the excellent documentary "It Might Get Loud," featuring Page, U2's The Edge and Jack White of White Stripes fame, do yourself a favor and let this serve as a reminder to check it out.
