Not many people can connect the dots between Led Zeppelin, ad jingles and one of the biggest blunders ever on Casey Kasem’s “American Top 40” radio show, but Jake Holmes could. He never had a real hit himself, but did write “Dazed And Confused” which Jimmy Page apparently ripped off. Holmes later wrote jingles like “I’m A Pepper” and “Be All You Can Be.” Hey, it paid the bills. The AT40 staffers mistakenly told Casey this was #39 the week of 12/19/70 and Jake’s song apparently got onto the program instead of “Love The One You’re With” from Stephen Stills. Oops.
