Elvis Presley - Love Me (Official Audio)
During an interview, Robert Plant recounted that the band had gone to see Elvis Presley live at the Forum in Los Angeles on May 11, 1974, three years before the tragic passing of The King. At one point, halfway through the concert, Elvis was made aware of the rock band in the audience, and addressing his group of musicians, he said:
"Wait a minute... let's try to start the songs together, friends, because down there are Led Zeppelin... let's at least make it look like we know what we're doing, even if we don't."
The phrase, by the way, can be heard in the concert recording, which was later released as a live album titled "Live in L.A."
Plant was incredulous and extremely excited:
"I almost started crying. Then we went to his dressing room. Jimmy Page told Elvis that I always sang his songs during the sound-check, and he asked: 'Which of my songs do you prefer to sing?'. I told him it was 'Love me'. Then he signed an autograph for me with 'A Robert, Treat me like a fool', which is a line from the lyrics. As we were walking down the hallway, Elvis came out of the dressing room and said: 'Hey Robert'. And then he started singing: 'Treat me like a fool, treat me mean and cruel...'. I started singing it too, and there we were, singing the song to each other."
