Immense tragedy overshadowed Led Zeppelin’s 1979 album, In Through the Out Door. Robert Plant’s son Karac had died in 1977 from a respiratory infection. Still, In Through the Out Door was a massive commercial success, though it’s largely defined by two songs: “All My Love” and “Fool in the Rain.” The former is Plant’s touching tribute to Karac, while the latter marks Led Zeppelin’s final single.
