Another musical feast on Backbeat this week made up of some great platters. We've got the original 1929 recording of a song that became a Led Zeppelin classic, some killer gospel by two of the best (relatively unknown) singers ever and Ginger Smock, an amazing, super-talented violinist whose path to stardom was constantly blocked by people who only considered her race and gender.
