"Whole Lotta Love" is a song by the English rock band Led Zeppelin. It is the opening track on the band's second album, "Led Zeppelin II", and was released as a single in several countries; as with other Led Zeppelin songs, no single was released in the United Kingdom. In the United States, it became their first hit and was certified gold. Parts of the song were adapted from Willie Dixon's "You Need Love", recorded by Muddy Waters in 1962; originally uncredited to Dixon, a lawsuit in 1985 was settled with a payment to Dixon and credit on subsequent releases.
