His band was often a staple on the R&B charts in those years, with their biggest hit being "The Honeydripper", released in 1945. That single topped the R&B "race" chart for 18 weeks; more than 60 years later, The Honeydripper remains tied with Louis Jordan for the longest-ever stay atop that chart.

All I can add is "The Honeydripper" was an instrumental and The supergroup's front man was Robert Plant and, rumour has it Nile Rodgers, Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck on guitars.
