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 many songs were plagiarizied on Led Zeppelin's first album?

Led Zeppelin paid out undisclosed amounts of money to Willie Dixon who wrote the song Bring It On Home that Sonny Boy Williamson had recorded in 1963. The band also paid a settlement to the publisher of Richie Valen's song "Ooh! My Head" over the song Boogie With Stu. The Lemon Song included an adaptation of Howlin' Wolf's The Killing Floor. Most of the controversy surrounding the plagiarism was for the 2nd album. I couldn't find any references to songs on the first album.
