Earliest song personally that I feel has a truly "heavy" rock sound, would be this, in 1973;

^ really? Have you heard Child in Time from deep purple? Came out in 1969. Black Sabbath's album came out in 1970 too... Those were HEAVY for their time and Iommi's guitar tone on the first album pretty much became the staple of heavy metal
Even Paranoid came out before then and oddly your song choice has a similar riff.. (granted this clip is from 1999)
Hendrix perhaps? Though not fully "heavy metal" you can easily see his style as one that simply needed another step added to it to be metal.
You won't find one band that just "invented it." You will find bands that played progressively harder for their genre until a band comes along and adds that final step which become metal.
You can also add Led Zeppelin.Sabbath
Black Sabbath is my favorite band.Sabbath
