About

“Good Lovin'‘” is one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll, and was ranked #333 on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list. Writer Dave Marsh placed it at number 108 in his 1989 book The Heart of Rock and Soul: The 1001 Greatest Singles Ever Made, saying it is “the greatest example ever of a remake surpassing the quality of an original without changing a thing about the arrangement,” and that “'Good Lovin’ all by itself is enough to dispel the idiotic notion that rock and roll is nothing more than white boys stealing from blacks.”
