OFF: Willie Dixon Led Zeppelin lawsuit

[Paul Mather]

I was just listening to the Willie Dixon Chess Box Set this evening,
and, listening to CD 2, it made me wonder if Willie Dixon ever won his
lawsuit against Led Zeppelin for their "Whole Lotta Love" single?  (It
bears *more* than a passing resemblance to the song he wrote for Muddy
Waters, called "You Need Love.")

Actually, Zeppelin appear to have covered quite a few of Dixon's songs:
"You Shook Me," "Bring It On Home" (on-topic HW reference:), and "I
Can't Quit You Baby."  (I notice they don't credit him on "Bring It On
Home," at least not on the copy of _Led Zeppelin II_ I have to hand.
Tsk, tsk, shame on them...)

Cheers,

Paul.
