"You Need Love", written by Willie Dixon and recorded by Muddy Waters in 1962, is the basis of Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love”. The Small Faces covered the song as "You Need Loving" in 1966 - and Led Zeppelin would record their version in 1969. Neither the Led Zeppelin nor the Small Faces version credits Dixon as a songwriter. Dixon would sue Led Zeppelin (but not the Small Faces) - successfully settling out of court in 1985.
