Lade is correct, but let's be very clear: This is a Bo Diddly song! And in fact, if Bo Diddly hadn't written "Bo Diddly" first, I'd say that this was THE Bo Diddly song. I think the Ronnie Hawkins version was a long-time favourite of the band, I remember Philip mentioning it here, lemme search...

57 track, 2-cd set that collects the bulk of Hawkins' classic material, and all of the stuff with future members of The Band, and some unreleased tracks - incl. three by "Levon & The Hawks" and three by Fred Carter Jr.
And great liner notes. Did you know a young Hawkins enlisted in the military, was assigned to "special services", and performed with a four-piece band of black musicians called - wait for it - "The Blackhawks"?! Always a class act, I have a soft spot for him b/c, as well as bringing The Band together, he used to host the New Year's concerts at Toronto City Hall. What could be better than watching, say, Platinum Blonde, and then have this aging crazy guy in a giant fur coat sing "Bo Diddly"? Warmed you right up, that did.
"Who Do You Love" is still a smokin' record all these years later. The Radiators considered it a Seminal Punk Moment.

Phil's old Radiators bandmates, now as the Trouble Pilgrims, recorded it a few years ago.
