Did Led Zeppelin get sued by Robert Johnson's estate for duplicating his songs?
I couldn't find any evidence of Robert Johnson's estate sueing Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin did however pay a settlement to Arc Music on behalf of Willie Dixon. Then Dixon had to sue Arc music to get his royalties and copyrights. There was another settlement paid to Richie Valen's publisher. Zeppelin revamped lots of old blues classics, there are bits and pieces of them throughout their songs.
Who wrote whole lotta love?
Led Zeppelin It is not exactly correct that Led Zeppelin wrote "Whole Lotta Love" even though they claimed themselves as the song author in their original album. Willie Dixon wrote the lyrics. The song was originally entitled "You Need Love" was put out by Muddy Waters in 1962. "You Need Loving" was put out by The Small Faces in 1966. Led Zeppelin recorded "Whole Lotta Love" in 1969. It's no surprise that Led Zeppelin found a lot of inspiration in American blues. If a person would trace the history and evolution of one of Led Zep's biggest hits, "Whole Lotta Love" back...it's roots are with Muddy Waters. Willie Dixon wrote the lyrics and sued Led Zeppelin in 1985. They settled out of court. On the CD version of the song, Willie Dixon was given his due as the person who wrote the song. Not only did Led Zeppelin "borrow" the song from Willie, they "borrowed" the vocal styling of the song from Steve Marriott of The Small Faces, who recorded the song four years earlier than Led Zeppelin.
How old was Willie Dixon at death?
