Johnny Rivers' cover of this was very good BUT Willie Dixon's original version is the greatest and can't ever be duplicated.

Yeah, Big Willie was no fool regarding his rights. And probably to best blues song-writer ever. And a gentleman at that.

@monkeytown1000 When Robt Johnson did this, Black Bluesmen were NOT getting royalties, just a flat fee per side, however by 1968 things HAD changed. Everybody was aware of it because of the Animals hit "House of the Rising Sun", which was a traditional song, but credited to just Alan Price, and it made him rich. So when Jimmy Page claimed the songs as his, I suspect he did it for the money. I know Dixon had to sue Zeppelin (at least 3 times), as did Howlin Wolf.

oh yeah!

Yup. Led Zep ripped off Willie's You Need Love for Whole Lotta Love & should have credited him.
Willie Dixon was a great song writer. But he also took delta blues & updated them for Chicago blues crediting himself as the songwriter. Nothing unusual in this, it was what blues men did.
Even Robert Johnson took Son House & Skip James songs and said they were his own - check James 22-20 Blues & Johnson's 32-20 Blues
It was an accepted blues practice, done by all blues men.

Willie is the bible of the blues. All the great stuff he had a hand in just boggles the mind. Lets not forget Back Door Man- I eat more chicken any man ever seen, Really how do beat that line.
