Recognition and Influence
In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked Bo Diddley's original song at #133 on their list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time", noting that "who do" is a homonym of "hoodoo". A Grammy Hall of Fame Award followed in 2010.
"Who Do You Love?" has been interpreted and recorded by numerous musicians. A proto-psychedelic version by the Misunderstood was recorded in 1966 and released as the B-side to "I Can Take You to the Sun" on Fontana Records; guitarist Glenn Ross Campbell later reworked "Who Do You Love" in his later band Juicy Lucy, which reached #14 in the UK record chart. A short list of other recordings include those by the Woolies, Tom Rush, Brownsville Station, the Doors, Carlos Santana, Blues Project, Blues Magoos, Roy Head, and John Hammond Jr.

Famous quotes containing the words recognition and, recognition and/or influence:
“By now, legions of tireless essayists and op-ed columnists have dressed feminists down for making such a fuss about entering the professions and earning equal pay that everyone’s attention has been distracted from the important contributions of mothers working at home. This judgment presumes, of course, that prior to the resurgence of feminism in the ‘70s, housewives and mothers enjoyed wide recognition and honor. This was not exactly the case.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“Justice begins with the recognition of the necessity of sharing. The oldest law is that which regulates it, and this is still the most important law today and, as such, has remained the basic concern of all movements which have at heart the community of human activities and of human existence in general.”
—Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
“Poets are the hierophants of an unapprehended inspiration; the mirrors of the gigantic shadows which futurity casts upon the present; the words which express what they understand not; the trumpets which sing to battle and feel not what they inspire; the influence which is moved not, but moves. Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
