“All of My Love” was written by Robert Plant not long after this as he mourned the loss of his son, and it appeared on Led Zeppelin’s final album, In Through The Out Door (1979). The band immediately canceled the rest of their tour and didn’t play another show for two years. Before their show scheduled for July 30th in New Orleans, Robert Plant received tragic news that his son had died from a stomach illness. It was near the end of their 1977 North American tour when Robert Plant received a phone call that would ultimately cut the tour short, and make their July 24th show in Oakland the band’s final live performance in the United States. They were bringing nearly 80,000 people out to their shows during this time. In the summer of 1977, the band had reached their peak in terms of fame, as they had just returned to touring following taking 1976 off to allow Plant time to recover from a serious car accident he was in with his wife Maureen in August of 1975. However, “All of My Love” carries with it a much heavier meaning for the vocalist, as it was written to honor his five year old son Karac after his sudden passing in 1977. On the surface, Led Zeppelin’s “All of My Love” sounds like a straightforward love song, with lyrics that express romantic dedication through Robert Plant’s signature poetic phrasing.
