Poor Tom - Led Zeppelin's Influences

LED ZEPPELIN'S INFLUENCES

Poor Tom

Led Zeppelin's Sources of Inspiration suggests that Robert Wilkins's "That's No Way to Get Along" is the source for Led Zeppelin's "Poor Tom," included on Coda. When Wilkins re-recorded this song in the 1960s, he changed the title to "Prodigal Son" and that's the title the Rolling Stones used when they recorded this song for their album Beggars Banquet.
