In 1984, Plant formed a short-lived all-star retro rock group with musicians Jimmy Page (also of Led Zeppelin), Jeff Beck, and Phil Collins called The Honeydrippers. The band had a Top Ten hit with their song "Sea of Love", a remake of the Phil Phillips' chestnut. Plant's also notably performed with Page in the outfit Page & Plant.
Plant's love of the music of Morocco led him to a new collaboration called Robert Plant and the Strange Sensation. The band's releases met with critical acclaim and numerous Grammy nominations. They completed a notable 2006 tour of Europe in September.
In 2007, Plant began recording and performing with American bluegrass star Alison Krauss. A duet album, Raising Sand, was released on 23 October 2007 on Rounder Records. The album, recorded in Nashville and Los Angeles and produced by T-Bone Burnett, met with enormous critical and commercial success. Tours have reached devoted audiences in multiple cities.
The year of 2010 proves to be yet another successful year for the lemon squeezer. During the summer, Plant will be reuniting with his old, Pre-Zep group, The Band Of Joy, for a tour of the southern and mid continental tour of the US.
In 2012 Robert Plant starts another band project going by the name Sensational Space Shifters releasing the live album Robert Plant Presents: Sensational Space Shifters. Along with Plant himself the band consists of Liam "Skin" Tyson, Justin Adams, Billy Fuller and John Baggot along with Dave Smith, Juldeh Camara and Patty Griffin.

Diamonds and pearls
But you can't buy my love for no money in the world.
You can't buy my love.
No you can't buy my love.
For no money in the world.
You can't buy my love.
Now you so blue.
Baby I'm so glad.
'Cause you done lost the best thing you ever had.
Oh you can't buy my love.
No you can't buy my love.
For no money in the world.
You can't buy my love.
Now you so blue.
Baby I'm so glad.
'Cause you done lost the best thing you ever had.
Oh you can't buy my love.
No you can't buy my love.
For no money in the world.
You can't buy my love.
Oh you can't buy my love.
No you can't buy my love.
For no money in the world.
You can't buy my love.
Oh you can't buy my love.
No you can't buy my love.
All the money in the world.
You can't buy my love.
Oh you can't buy my love.
No you can't buy my love.
All the money in the world.
You can't buy my love.
Oh you can't buy my love.
No you can't buy my love.
Oh no.
The lyrics of Robert Plant's song "You Can't Buy My Love" are a declaration of the singer's refusal to let material wealth dictate the value of his love. He acknowledges that while someone might be able to offer him money, diamonds or pearls, those things are meaningless in comparison to the genuine love he has to offer. He repeats the refrain "You can't buy my love" throughout the song to reinforce this message.
In the second verse, Plant seems to be addressing a former lover who is feeling regretful about losing him. He notes that she may be feeling blue, but he is glad because she has lost the best thing she ever had - his love. The implication here is that the former lover was attempting to hold onto the relationship by offering material gifts, but this was not enough to satisfy Plant's need for true emotional connection.
Overall, the lyrics of "You Can't Buy My Love" convey a powerful message about the limitations of material wealth and the value of genuine emotional connection. By repeating the refrain "You can't buy my love", Plant is making a clear statement about the nature of love and the impossibility of purchasing it with money or gifts.

I love this new sound for Robert Plant. This song is one of my favorite songs on the CD. Unfortunately, this is could be the closest I get to a live performance. I have tix to the show in Philly, but he went onstage in super heavy snow (preceeded by freesing rain) and I live very far from public transport. Please come back to Philly!! It's the zen thing to do.
