Singer-songwriter Jake Holmes has reignited a legal dispute with Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page over songwriting credits for “Dazed and Confused.” Holmes, who originally wrote and recorded “Dazed and Confused” in 1967, has filed a new copyright infringement suit alleging that he hasn’t received proper credit and royalties for his early versions performed by the Yardbirds, including a version featured in the new documentary, Becoming Led Zeppelin. “The Yardbirds performance of ‘Dazed and Confused’ in the film is a performance of the Holmes Composition,” the lawsuit states, adding: “Defendants have thus committed multiple acts of willful infringement by continuing to use the Holmes Composition without authorization..” A previous lawsuit that was settled in 2010 resulted in a credit change for Led Zeppelin’s version, which is now listed as “inspired by Jake Holmes.” Page’s lawyers have yet to issue a comment on the new lawsuit.
