  • Charlee from Los Angels California My all time favourite song! An instant classic.
  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn May 21st 1960, Neil Sedaka performed "Stairway to Heaven" on the ABC-TV program 'Dick Clark Saturday Night Beechnut Show'...
    At the time the song was at #13 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; the week before it was at #9, and that would be its peak position on the chart, it stayed at #9 for one week...
    Between 1959 and 1980 he had thirty Top 100 records, nine made the Top 10 with three peaking at #1, "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do" for 2 weeks in 1962, "Laughter in the Rain" for 1 week in 1975, and "Bad Blood" for 3 weeks in 1975...
    Neil Sedaka celebrated his 76th birthday three months ago on March 13th {2015}.
  • Michael from Bradford, EnglandScala has quite a few meanings and in this case it is a noun: Staircase, Stairs, Ladder - so the translation does indeed mean "Stairway to Heaven"
    The verb "scalare" as well as meaning to climb (ascend)- as in English "to scale", can be "to scale down", "to shade" (colours)
  • Guy from Woodinville, WaHey Brian, pay attentioN! It's a different song with the same name.
  • Brian from Boston, MaI had no idea he wrote this.this song rocks.This is one of the first songs I learned to play on guitar.I just assumed Jimmy page wrote this.
