LED ZEPPELIN'S INFLUENCES
You Shook Me
 
Led Zeppelin included two Willie Dixon songs on their debut album. In this case Led Zeppelin did it right, both in terms of songwriting credits and in their interpretation of the material. "You Shook Me" is properly credited to Willie Dixon and J.B. Lenoir, and the call and response of Jimmy Page's guitar and Robert Plant's vocals makes this recording more interesting than Muddy Waters's version of this song—no easy feat.
