“Your Time Is Gonna Come” by Led Zeppelin

"Your Time Is Gonna Come" turns up on Led Zeppelin, the English band's 1969 debut, and it swings open on John Paul Jones at a Hammond M-100 organ, an intro writer John Van der Kiste heard as a cousin to early Procol Harum. Then Jimmy Page goes to work on a Gibson J-200 acoustic and a Fender 800, a 10-string steel guitar he leaves out of tune; he said he only learned the steel during the sessions for this very album.

Robert Plant sings it as a kiss-off to a faithless woman, promising she'll pay for all her lying, with John Bonham on drums and Jones on bass. Page produced, Peter Grant took the executive producer credit, and Page and Jones both share in the writing. Onstage it was a rarity: only two live performances circulate.
