Actually Zeo was sued over this. I think they settled out of court. I remember hearing about it many, many years ago.

The Electric Flag's version changed "1st mind" to "2nd mind," which Led Zep
used.The case I'm seeing has nothing to do with subjective reactions to songwriting
ability otherwise, but strictly ethical authorship crediting, and how the effort
to seem exclusive, especially for money, can make people cook up the facts. You
can't copyright basics, like E A D chord changes of common lengths, or the
phrase "I love you," etc., just more specific things. A lot of these music and
lyric creations are such specific recognizable things. You don't get royalties
from flattery in interviews, just song writing credits, as any session musician
in the '60's would know. -
