Plant has A Whole Lotta Love for Capaldi

Robert Plant spoke about his friendship with Jim Capaldi at the launch of Genesis limited edition MR FANTASY last week.

'There was a carefree, poignant nature to what he was singing about. When I saw him, he was just joyous. We were surrounded by all these celebrated figures who ... the spark wasn't there. But he had the spark. And I've got the spark. So when we saw each other it was like, 'Okay, I get it.'' - Robert Plant speaking to Classic Rock Magazine.
