Trivia / Neil Sedaka

• Similarly Named Works: Believe it or not, Led Zeppelin's quintessential hit was not the first song to be entitled "Stairway to Heaven". Eleven years earlier, in 1960, Sedaka also recorded a song with that title. Interestingly enough, Sedaka's song managed to hit number nine on the Billboard charts — while Led Zeppelin's song never even hit the charts, as it was never released as a single.
