Top 5 Non-Foghat Versions of ‘I Just Want to Make Love to You’

I know the song "I Just Wanna Make Love to You" as a Classic Rock hit by the band Foghat. Their version of the song came out in 1972. I've been hearing it all my life, but I really connected with it because of the soundtracks for the movie Dazed and Confused.

I was talking about the Dazed soundtracks recently and that led me to do some internet research where I found that the song "I Just Wanna Make Love to You" is an old Blues song from the 50's. It was written by written by Willie Dixon and first recorded by Muddy Waters.

The song has been covered by lots of artists. Here are five of the best non-Foghat versions.
