From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"We're Gonna Groove" is a song written by soul artist Ben E. King and his songwriting partner James Bethea, and performed most famously by English rock group Led Zeppelin, as the opening number during their 1970 UK and European tours.[1]
The song was originally recorded at Morgan Studios, London on June 25, 1969 just after a short British tour including some BBC appearances, and shows at Royal Albert Hall and the 1969 Bath Festival (the January 9, 1970 performance at the Royal Albert Hall can be seen on the Led Zeppelin DVD).
It was scheduled to appear on Led Zeppelin II, but like "Since I've Been Loving You", "We're Gonna Groove" didn't make the lineup of the second Led Zeppelin album. It belatedly appeared, in a heavily produced version Jimmy Page made at his Sol Studios, on the 1982 album Coda, after the group had split following the death of drummer John Bonham.[1]
