'The Guess Who' wrote it and sang it in 1970 - which is the version above and the version Dave posted. So to Answer the wise Saints question above is - **** knows (Dave must be entering senile stage!) [video=youtube;e8z1EzDouNs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8z1EzDouNs[/video] Hendrix covered it I believe - meaning Lenny 'wannabe Hendrix'' Kravitzs did the same! But Lenny murdered the original song as you can see below... [video=youtube;AmbfDH2mXbo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmbfDH2mXbo[/video]
One of the greatest mis-attributions in rock history so profuse apologies to Guess Who. However, the major riff in the song is a direct lift from Spanish Castle Magic by Hendrix. Ain't life strange!
Seems to be a lot of people out there that think this was a Hendrix track. Can't see it myself, imo it sounds nothing like him either in vocal or guitar style. I could understand people confusing it with Zep, because the vocal delivery is similar to Robert Plant's.
