"Achilles Last Stand" is a song by British rock group Led Zeppelin. It is found on the 1976 album Presence. Led Zeppelin was working on this at the time Robert Plant was recovering from a car accident. Coincidentally, he got so excited while recording this that he fell and re-injured his ankle, similarly to the song's namesake, Achilles. The song is one of the longest Zeppelin songs, at 10 minutes and 25 seconds. The song is famous for John Bonham's powerful drumming and Jimmy Page's many-a-time overdubbed guitar playing. It ...

Sir Cliff Richard (born Harry Rodger Webb in Lucknow, India, on October 14, 1940) is one of the United Kingdom's most popular singers.

Although never able to achieve a significant impact in the United States, Richard has remained a popula ...
