There are many keyboardists named John, but one of the most famous is John Paul Jones. He was born on January 3, 1946, in Sidcup, Kent, England, and is best known as the bassist, keyboardist, and founding member of the legendary rock band, Led Zeppelin.
Before joining Led Zeppelin in 1968, Jones worked as a session musician in London, playing on recordings by artists like The Rolling Stones, Jeff Beck, and Donovan. As part of Led Zeppelin, he played a critical role in shaping the band's sound, providing the melodic counterpoint to Jimmy Page's guitar riffs and John Bonham's thunderous drumming.
Jones is known for his virtuosic keyboard skills, playing a variety of instruments including piano, organ, and synthesizer. He wrote many of the iconic Led Zeppelin songs, including "Misty Mountain Hop," "No Quarter," and "Trampled Under Foot."
After Led Zeppelin disbanded following the death of John Bonham in 1980, Jones continued to work as a session musician and producer, playing with a range of artists including R.E.M., Brian Eno, and Foo Fighters. He also released several solo albums, including "The Thunderthief" in 2001.
Jones is widely regarded as one of the greatest keyboardists in rock history and has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, once as part of Led Zeppelin and again as a member of The Yardbirds.
