I hadn't noticed until you pointed it out, and I knew nothing about her until I Googled her and found the Wikipedia entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memphis_Minnie) about her just now. It says she wrote "When The Levee Breaks" in 1929. Now I want to hear her recording of it and some more of her work.

(It's certainly not the oldest song Led Zeppelin put their stamp on. "Gallows Pole" is a Child ballad.)
