Heavy Friends was the name of one album (with I think 3 members of Led Zeppelin taking turns on different tracks along with Nicky Hopkins and other friends he helped get into the music business.

There was at least one followup live album (that isn't as entertaining as the studio album) and the other albums he released are preferable.

The rock and roll hall of fame will never recognize his contributions to music but like Screamin' Jay Hawkins before him and Alice Cooper after him, he helped bring the theatrical monster stage show to the masses. He also is credited with "discovering" well used session musicians like Nicky Hopkins (I don't know his relationship with Jimmy Page, who also did a lot of session work).

He repeatedly ran for Parliament and some of his campaign issues (like 18 year old vote) became law even without winning office.
