------------------------

"You Don't Love Me" is a blues standard recorded by American blues musician Willie Cobbs in 1960.
It is Cobbs' best-known song and features a guitar figure and melody that has appealed to musicians in several genres.
Although it became a regional hit when it was released in Memphis, Tennessee, copyright issues prevented its further promotion and national chart success.
Derived from an earlier song by Bo Diddley, it has inspired many popular adaptations, including "Shimmy Shimmy Walk" by the Megatons and "You Don't Love Me (No, No, No)" by Jamaican singer Dawn Penn.

Adaptations by other artists

The Megatons

In 1962, the Megatons, a Louisiana-based instrumental combo, recorded "Shimmy, Shimmy Walk, Part 1" an instrumental version of "You Don't Love Me".
It was released as a two-part single by Feriday, Louisiana, Dodge Records. The single was later distributed by Checker Records and reached number 88 in the Billboard Hot 100.
Albert King recorded "Shimmy, Shimmy Walk" for the 1969 Years Gone By album, although reissues list it as "You Don't Love Me (instrumental)".

Junior Wells

In 1965, Junior Wells with Buddy Guy recorded the song as "You Don't Love Me Baby" for their influential 1965 album Hoodoo Man Blues. Their version altered the guitar figure somewhat and added some new lyrics.

Dawn Penn

Jamaican singer Dawn Penn recorded "You Don't Love Me" in 1967 (Coxsone CS 1008).
She was introduced to the song by producer Coxsone Dodd, who imported American rhythm and blues records to play for his sound system entertainment businesses.

In 1994, she remade it as the dancehall-influenced "You Don't Love Me (No, No, No)", which was an international hit.
Penn's rendition inspired versions by Rihanna, who recorded it in 2005 with Vybz Kartel for Music of the Sun, and Beyoncé Knowles for the I Am... World Tour live CD/DVD in 2010.
