7. By 'this one' you mean the video above? No, that's Elvin Bishop who wrote it and sang it first.

8. I mean that Mickey Thomas sang the lead on this song with Elvin Bishop's band.

While singing lead for the Jets in 1974, Thomas joined the Elvin Bishop Group as a backing vocalist and eventually made it to lead vocals. He sang lead vocals on the 1975 Elvin Bishop single "Silent Night" and the 1976 single "Spend Some Time," but his best known achievement was singing on Elvin Bishop's chart hit "Fooled Around and Fell in Love", a #3 single in 1976.[1]

11. This song is by the Elvin Bishop Band; Elvin Bishop is the guitar player

The singer is his lead vocalist at the time, a young, handsome dude named Mickey Thomas, who later went on to sing with The Jefferson Airplane's newly reconstituted band called Jefferson Starship. They had a few hits with him, too.

4. One of my favourite guitar solos.

The radio version edits a lot of it out. Nice to hear the full version.
