After watching the Simpsons the other day where the family went to Britain and hearing Homer call Jimmy Page the "greatest rip-off of American Black music ever" or something along those lines, I needed to do a bit of research. I was really surprised at what I found. It turns out some of their biggest hits that I thought were originals, were actually covers of this great blues musician's music, many of which they didn't give credit for. Dixon wrote "You Shook Me","I Can't Quit You Baby", "Bring it on Home", and a song called "You Need Love" which is what Zep's "Whole Lotta Love" is based on. He successfully sued Led Zeppelin over their use of Bring it on Home and Whole Lotta Love because they didn't give credit to him. Did ya'll know this, or are you just as shocked as me?

Wow...

No! I'm just as suprised as you were. Grr... But Music's Music, no matter who wrote it. However, the writer should still get credit where credit is due.
