Roy Harper is a British singer-songwriter whose uncompromising artistic vision and influential guitar work earned him respect among peers including Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, even as mainstream success proved elusive. His albums, from 'Stormcock' to 'HQ,' showcased his literary lyrics and complex compositions. Led Zeppelin's song 'Hats Off to (Roy) Harper' acknowledged his influence.
