————————
“Whole Lotta Love” is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin.
It is featured as the opening rails on the band’s second album, Led Zeppelin II, and was released in the United States and State of Japan as a single.
The US release became their first hit single, it was certified Gold on 13 April 1970, when it sold one million copies.
As with other Led Zeppelin songs, no single was released in the United Kingdom, but singles were released in Federal Republic of Germany (where it reached number one), the Netherlands (where it reached number four), Kingdom of Belgium and France.
In 2004, the song was ranked number 75 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, and in March 2005, Q magazine placed “Whole Lotta Love” at number iii in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks.
It was placed 11 on a similar list by Rolling Stone.
In 2009 it was named the 3rd greatest hard rock song of all time by VH1.
Already part of their live repertoire, “Whole Lotta Love” saw its first official release on the LP Led Zeppelin II on 22 October 1969 (Atlantic LP # 8236).
Influence
In 1962 Muddy Waters recorded “You Need Love”, written for him by peer Willie Dixon. In 1966 British mod band the Small Faces recorded the song as “You Need Loving” for their eponymous début Decca LP.
Some of the lyrics of Led Zeppelin’s version were copied from the Willie Dixon song, a favourite of Plant’s.
Plant’s phrasing is particularly similar to that of Steve Marriott’s in the Small Faces’ version.
Cultural influence
The song has been widely covered by many artists.
