Talk:Gimme Some Lovin'

message: Wikipedia claims here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ain%27t_That_a_Lot_of_Love
"(Ain't That) a Lot of Love" is a 1966 song written by Homer Banks and Willia Dean Parker.
The Spencer Davis Group utilized the basic riff for their 1966 song "Gimme Some Lovin'"
They are very much the same songs. Homer Banks recording preceded the Spencer Davis Group. If I read this correctly, a copyright infringement suit about this has just been settled in court in 2017: https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=3e3d3b00-25dc-4a06-9517-2805cc051a04 , and Homer Banks (children) lost.
In this light, the success story in this article - "We hadn't been there half an hour, and this idea just came." - may sound less credible :-)

message: I think that the reference to the song being included in The Big Chill should be qualified because people who buy the CD will be confused.  The song is, in fact, in the movie.  It is even on the original "Big Chill" record entitled "The Big Chill - More Songs From the Original Soundtrack" {Motown, 1984], which I own.  Oddly, however, it doesn't appear to be on the CD versions of the soundtrack.  I have both the original soundtrack CD and the re-issue CD with bonus tracks, and the song was omitted in both.

message: The article intro currently has the composers as "Steve Winwood, Spencer Davis and Muff Winwood".
However, significant references have differing composer credits.
:The UK single media label (Fontana TF 762) has the composer credits as "Stevie Winwood".
:The US single (United Artists Records UA 1665) media label and US "Gimme Some Lovin'" LP (United Artists Records UAL 3578) back cover and media label similarly have the composer as "S. Winwood".
::However, Steve Winwood's official site details are:
:::Revolutions - The Very Best of Steve Winwood box set (2010) has "Winwood/Winwood/Davis".
::::This agrees, apart from ordering, with the European release artwork which has "Spencer Davis, Muff Winwood, Steve Winwood".
:::Autumn '66 similarly has "S. Winwood, M. Winwood, S. Davis".
::::This agrees with Japan reissues (2006 and later, which list the track as a bonus track) which have "Winwood/Winwood/Davis".  Of the 29 releases currently on discogs.com, the vast majority having artwork listing track details, only the Japanese releases have this track. 
:::Gimme Some Lovin' has "J. Miller, S. Winwood", where "J. Miller" is album co-producer Jimmy Miller.  This contradicts the corresponding US LP artwork which has "S. Winwood" and the other details on Winwood's official site.
That said, the 1967 UK compilation LP 'The Best Of The Spencer Davis Group Featuring Stevie Winwood' also has the composer credits as "S. Winwood, M. Winwood, S. Davis".
I am inclined to believe that "Steve Winwood, Spencer Davis and Muff Winwood" currently in the intro is correct, though the ordering may not be perfect.  But, given the differences with earlier releases that have the composer as just Steve Winwood, I believe a citation confirming the current compose details is warranted.
