Many songs get covered or re-interpreted, the covers often being more successful than the original.

Here are some cover versions of one song along with the original, let us know in the comments which is your favourite, or if you don’t like any of them.

“You Need Love” is a song written by Willie Dixon and recorded by  

Muddy Waters in 1962.

It has been covered/reinterpreted by several acts including:

Small Faces on their 1966 debut album “Small Faces”.

Savoy Brown on the 1968 album “Getting To the Point”.

Led Zeppelin on their 1969 album “Led Zeppelin II”.

James Cotton and Joe Louis Walker put their take on the song on the 1999 album “Whole Lotta Blues – Songs Of Led Zeppelin”.

Just a bloke getting on with life, seemingly becoming less tolerant, more grumpy and politically incorrect as I go.
