your way off .. they got sued for using the entire beginning of the song ( one of the most famous riffs ) and settled by giving writing credits on the best of albums. Spirit didn't get any royalties for the original and on the original they weren't listed in the credits. only on the newer copies are they given credit. they stoled that song along with all but one on there first album. go read the site and see the proof.
