Riff

The song has (almost) the identical riff of Blues Magoos's song "(We Ain't Got) Nothing Yet". The riff to Deep Purple's 1970 "Black Night" single was closely based off the riff to Ricky Nelson's 1962 "Summertime" (Deep Purple have said this themselves). In fact, the riff is a popular riff to borrow. In 1966/67 the Blues Magoos had "We Ain't Got Nothing Yet" around the same time that Status Quo had their version. But the riff seems to stem back to Ricky Nelson's 1962 rock-version re-working of the old George Gershwin standard "Summertime". The Blues Magoos were a music group which hailed from the Bronx. ...
