"Who Do You Love?" is Bo Diddley's song, written and first recorded by him back in 1956: an upbeat rocker built on swaggering boasts and hoodoo imagery, and one of the strongest sets of words he ever put his name to. It has been covered over and over, in all kinds of styles, and George Thorogood & the Destroyers' take is one of the renditions that really caught on.

Critics and writers who have traced the song's long line of guitar slingers make a point of counting Thorogood among them.
