See you didn't mention the name of the song in the OP, so I thought you were talking about
Superstition. I still stand by my opinion that I said earlier:

I don't mind if
People Get Ready wasn't written by Jeff Beck. He's a guitar player, and I really like his guitar playing on the song. He never wastes a note.

Songwriting and guitar playing are apple to oranges comparison. Jeff Beck can play more emotionally than EC and Page imho. EC wrote some decent songs but he jump the shark with "Cocaine" -- literally/figuratively. Page came up with a lot of (other people's) ideas.
