"Whole Lotta Lovin'" is a 1958 song by Fats Domino, written by Domino and Dave Bartholomew.[1] The record won an Imperial Gold Record Award. To promote the comeback single Fats appeared on The Dick Clark Beechnut Show on November 8, 1958, with singers the Kalin Twins, Andy Williams, and Gordon MacRae.[2] The lyrics begin "I got a whole lotta lovin' for you, true true love for you".
Some wrong notes are heard in the instrumental portion of the Fats Domino version, that could not be corrected because they did not have the money to record another take of the song.
