"Slow Dancer" comes from Pictures at Eleven, the first solo album Robert Plant made after Led Zeppelin, out in America on June 28, 1982, and the only one of his solo records to wear Zeppelin's own Swan Song label. Plant wrote it with guitarist Robbie Blunt, produced it himself and mixed it with engineer Pat Moran.
Phil Collins drummed on most of the album, but not here: the sticks went to Cozy Powell, late of Rainbow, with Paul Martinez on bass and Gerald Woodruffe on keyboards and synthesizer. It's the sound of Plant stepping out from under the Zeppelin shadow without pretending it was never there, Blunt's guitar prowling around a voice that hasn't lost an inch of its reach.
