Happy 40th Stairway to Heaven

For those of us who remember listening to great rock music growing up, this little piece of music information will remind us that time certainly does not stand still. Jacobs Media boss Fred Jacobs checks in to remind us that today is the 40th anniversary of Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven. Fred calls it a "major milestone" in rock radio. His company has put together a 3:38 version of Stairway featuring 24 different artists that recorded one of the most popular rock songs of all time. Believe it or not, even Tiny Tim did a version.
Jacobs says his company has produced a 3:38 mashup of the song that blends together 24 different versions of "Stairway," from Dolly Parton to Tiny Tim. Bill Jacobs pulled the segments and production guy Bob Malatesta put it together. Here's a sample. Jacobs says, "We like to say that "Content is king," so in this case, we thought we'd step up, have a little fun, and celebrate a truly iconic Rock N' Roll moment. If stations are interested in the full version or a cool Led Zep graphic created for station Facebook pages they should contact Bill@JacobsMedia.com.
