Roy Harper is a folk singer from England who Jimmy Page met at the Bath 
Festival in 1970. He became friends with Page and Plant, who used him as the 
opening act on some Zeppelin tours.

In 1971, Page played on Harper's album Stormcock, appearing in the credits as 
"S. Flavius Mercurius." In 1985, Page recorded an album with Harper called 
Whatever Happened To Jugula.

Zeppelin never performed this live.

Roy Harper sang lead on Pink Floyd's "Have A Cigar." He was friends with the 
band, and they asked him to sing this because Roger Waters' voice was shot.

This was listed on the album as "Arranged by Charles Obscure," which was a 
pseudonym for Page.


I have a 1973 Led Zep Complete songbook, as well as the 1990 version. Both 
say "Traditional Arrangement by Charles Obscure" Copyright Superhype Publishing.
