Led Zeppelin – I Can’t Quit You Baby
Copyright – 1969 Atlantic Records
“I Can’t Quit You Baby” is a song written by bluesman Willie Dixon. It has been recorded by many other artists as well, most notably West Side Chicago bluesman Otis Rush, who scored a Top 10 R&B hit with the tune in 1956. John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers included the song on their 1967 album Crusade. The version best-known to rock fans is by English band Led Zeppelin, being the the penultimate song on their 1969 debut album Led Zeppelin.
Many critics consider the song to be one of Led Zeppelin’s strongest performances from a technical standpoint. It begins with a long, drawn out cry from Plant, and leads into a rolling riff on which Jimmy Page improvises solos. John Paul Jones provides solid backing, and John Bonham displays the flair for which he is famous. Some have noted that Page’s guitar parts sound similar to his guitar solo in “Heartbreaker”.
The band regularly performed “I Can’t Quit You Baby” live at Led Zeppelin concerts from 1968 to early 1970. Two live versions are included on the Led Zeppelin BBC Sessions, whilst the group’s performance of the song on January 9, 1970 at Royal Albert Hall is available on both Coda and the Led Zeppelin (DVD) (although for the two releases the song is mixed differently). Robert Plant’s a cappella singing of “sometimes I get so worried” at the Royal Albert Hall is reminiscient of Ray Charles’ performance of “I Got a Woman” from the album Ray Charles at Newport.
In 1970, the song was dropped from Led Zeppelin’s typical concert lineup as they incorporated material from Led Zeppelin III into their shows, with “I Can’t Quit You Baby” essentially being replaced by the song “Since I’ve Been Loving You”. It was however revived as part of the “Whole Lotta Love” medley during some Led Zeppelin concerts in 1972 and 1973.
This song was rehearsed by the surviving members of Led Zeppelin for the Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary reunion concert in May 1988, but it was not included on the night.
Lyrics:
I can’t quit you babe
Woman I think I’m gonna put you down for a little while
I can’t quit you babe
I… think I’m gonna put you down for a while
I said you messed up my happy home
Made me mistreat my only child
You built my hopes so high
Baby then you let me down so low
You built my hopes so high then ya let me down… so low
Don’tcha realize sweet baby?
Woman I don’t know… which way to go
Woman I can’t quit you babe
I think I’m gonna put you down for a while

Led Zeppelin – I Can’t Quit You Baby
I see a lot of comments saying people that listen to rap are ” missing out”
and “not good meaning in rap” well, that is a VERY ignorant thing to say.
You are stereotyping HIP-HOP (RAP is NOT a genre) If you feel that rap is
garbage, sure so be it, you don’t have to like it but until you listen to
actual, meaningful rapers like Eminem, Tu Pac Shakur, and many more. If I
can enjoy both ROCK, and RAP so can you. Also, Rap fans can easily
stereotype that all ROCK BANDS are “satanic” like Black Veil Brides or
other new bands…. Please don’t be ignorant and respect opinions.
god damit this song is so god damn good! dem goose bumbs !
yeah man, i feel sorry for people that listen to mostly rap, you miss out
so much. its good to listen to metal, blues, classic rock, punk,
etc……you always find something you’ll like. plus, rap artists don’t
even play instruments, so fuck them just on that. Zep is the best band
ever, and fuck anyone that doesn’t think so. Very few bands from then or
today stack up. And most bands today suck, what happened to guitar solos in
songs? guess its just about $ and sounding like shit for teens.
Couldn’t have said that any better, sabbath.
Man this song is so hot. Damn.
i agree with sabbathtage25 the music of today is crap! nothing will ever
compare the true music like this live on led!!!!!
Jimmy didn’t have his les paul on this record. He used a tele in early zep
and the yardbirds. Them yardbirds produced Jim, Clapton and Beck.
smooooooooooooooooth…
I had never heard to led zepellin i use to listen to rap and other shit,
and when i heard this i said GOT DAMMN!!! i been missing out on some good
shit
yes you have – enjoy the best tunes.
oh yea very bluesy
dude, sabbathtage25, you are so right! I mean, led zeppelin will always be
the greatest band of all time, bar none. Now, my favorite band is
Metallica, but Led Zeppelin is still the greatest band of all time.
I’M TOTALLY WITH YOU MAN…
this is great stuff
the best song of led zeppelin too !!
“You know I love you babe. My love for you I could never hide.”
your principle knows man listen more and more
i love this song. IMO this is Led Zeppelin’s best album and this song is in
their top 3 songs for sure.
dammn smooth
excelente
i need a bf. im so horny lol v
You are an idiot, because rap artists do way more vocals and lyrical
techniques than any “rock” artist could do.
