That was Louis Prima. This compilation is great to have around imho. He was a master showman and ended up dying after being in a coma for three years.
Meanwhile, other 'Christian' men founded the underground railroad and helped escaping slaves get to free states - to the extent that they that they actually encrypted routes to freedom into their so-called 'hymns'. Later, allegedly 'Christian' people founded and led the civil rights movement that demanded that blacks be treated as equals.

Oh, the horror.
If you like that, there's a whole series of similar songs compiled into albums like "Those Dirty Blues", "Copulatin' Blues", "Eat to the Beat", "Reefer Blues", etc.

Nice. Available for sale on Amazon. Would love to hear more of this guy's tunes. EDIT: FOR SALE FOR A TON OF MONEY ON AMAZON
A is optimal because it is not too deep or too high, and it's cross position (blues position) is E, which is very natural for the guitar to play blues from.
Edit: this book is good stuff and it is in the key of A https://www.amazon.com/Jerry-Portnoys-Blues-Harmonica-Masterclass/dp/B00005KJ36

See that's the thing -- I kind of love all of it, even the so-called "crap" stuff from the decade. I love the rock stuff and the disco stuff and the soul stuff. All of it. (well, mostly)
For lesser-known soul stuff, I like the What It Is! box set. And there's some amazing stuff in the 70s-era part of the Quincy Jones box set. But as far as straight-up groups, Earth Wind & Fire and Sly & the Family Stone are where it's at for me.
Rock stuff, I have a soft spot in my heart for Big Star, but I'll take the more popular stuff, as well, like Bowie and Zeppelin and former Beatles' solo stuff, or even the so-called "lighter" Doobies or Steely Dan. And goddam if Loggins & Messina's "Sittin' In" isn't just the most blissful. And holy crap, of course there's Harry Nilsson and his entire catalogue.
But the thing I love most about the 70s is discovering all these bands that are relatively under the radar these days, or groups that artists were in before they got big. Relatively recent discoveries for me include the band Lake and Klaatu and Brian Protheroe.
But I'm honestly equally happy putting on the 1970s station and listening to Brandy or Amie or Angie Baby or pretty much whatever.
