It has one of the absolute best Strat riffs in all of rock … but who really played the opening riff? Here’s who is credited (according to Wikipedia). If you know otherwise (it’s rumored Dan Hartman played it), please let me know in the comments!
• Edgar Winter : clavinet, electric piano, backing vocals, ARP 2600 synthesizer
• Ronnie Montrose : rhythm guitar, backing vocals
• Rick Derringer : lead guitar, backing vocals
• Dan Hartman : lead vocals, percussions
• Randy Jo Hobbs : bass guitar
• Johnny Badanjek : drums

The single 45 version is distinctly different from the LP version. The 45 version contains a significantly brighter guitar track (that opens the song only on the left channel), added harmonics, a fuzz bass added to the bridge and other changes that contrast sharply with the "dry" LP mix. Most classic rock radio stations play the LP version, and the original 45 mix is much less commonly available online. Both versions clock in at virtually the same length because each was based on the same core "take" and re-mixed with different tracks to the fore as well as added enhancements to the single.
