Think of a famous blues song and Willie Dixon probably wrote it. And that's him playing bass on the original recording. He's credited with writing more than 500 songs, including My Babe, Spoonful, The Seventh Son, Hoochie-Coochie Man, Little Red Rooster, I Just Want To Make Love To You, Back Door Man, Wang Dang Doodle, and I'm Ready. And oh yes, Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love sounds a lot like a song Dixon wrote for Muddy Waters (he sued them for plagiarism and won an out of court settlement).
Dixon played bass on most of Chuck Berry's early recordings, as well as many sessions with Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Jimmy Reed, Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson II, and others.
