On Led Zeppelin II, from 1969, "Thank You" is the moment the band lowers its fists and lets the tenderness show. Robert Plant and Jimmy Page wrote it together and Page produced, and it rolls along in D major at an easy 76 beats per minute, his Vox Phantom XII 12-string ringing out like church bells on a summer afternoon.

John Paul Jones fills the room with Hammond organ, and the track plays a sly trick: it fades away as if it's finished, then swells back up about ten seconds later for a grand finale. Andy Johns engineered, and Eddie Kramer handled the mix.
