All My Love Appears on In Through the Out Door Published by Flames of Albion Music Registration ASCAP 310179689 Release date 15 August 1979 Recorded November-December 1978 Genre Rock, Progressive rock Language English Length 5 minutes 33 seconds Composer John Paul Jones (musician) Label Swan Song Records Producer Jimmy Page Engineer Leif Mases 'All My Love' is a song on English Rock music|rock band Led Zeppelin's final studio album, In Through the Out Door, released in 1979. Written by Robert Plant and John Paul Jones (musician)|John Paul Jones, it is a slow-tempo rock song, featuring a synthesizer solo by Jones and sensitive lyrics by Plant. Overview Plant wrote the song as a tribute to his son Karac Plant who died from a stomach infection in 1977 at the age of five. He did the vocals all in one take, and the song changes key on the last chorus. Jones used a Yamaha GX-1 for the string arrangement on 'All My Love', with a 'baroque horn' solo with expressive vibrato. A studio out-take of an extended 'All My Love' exists, timed at seven minutes two seconds. It has a complete ending, with Plant extending the last verse and a twangy B-Bender guitar solo by Page. This version has been made available on a number of Led Zeppelin bootleg recordings. The original working title for the composition was called 'The Hook'. In an interview he later gave to rock journalist Cameron Crowe, Plant stated that this song was one of Led Zeppelin's 'finest moments.' 'All My Love' is one of only two Led Zeppelin songs which Page had no part in writing (the other being 'South Bound Saurez', also from In Through the Out Door). 'All My Love' is also included on the Led Zeppelin compilations Early Days and Latter Days, Remasters (Led Zeppelin album)|Remasters and Mothership (album)|Mothership. The song was played live on Led Zeppelin's Tour Over Europe 1980|concert tour of Europe in 1980. It was one of the most well received performances of the tour.
