"Love in Vain" "Honeymonn Blues"
"Love in Vain" is a 1937 blues song written by Robert Johnson, and can be found on a number of compilation albums of Johnson's work (most notably on the vinyl album King of the Delta Blues Singers, Vol. 2, that, along with Vol. 1, introduced Johnson to many later musicians); and on its original (and extremely rare) 78rpm single release (Vocalion 04630).
It has since been covered by many other musicians, most famously by The Rolling Stones on their 1969 album, Let It Bleed. (Although, in the album credits on the original vinyl LP label, the song is wrongly listed as written by a mysterious - and probably fictitious - "Woody Payne", not Robert Johnson.)
Can anybody believe that Mick and specially Keith did not know who wrote that song? ..

Well if The Stones had been sued every time they ripped off some old bluesman,including taking credits for songs that they never wrote,"You gotta move","Love in Vain"and so on..
I personally don't give a rat's ass about Lil Wayne ,but whats the difference?..

The biggest rip off Jagger/Richards did, was stealing the hookline
from "The Last Time" from The Staple Singers' "Maybe The Last Time".
But this is abkco sueing here, not Jagger/Richards or the Stones camp.
