Reverend Gary Davis with Cocaine Blues.  Legend has it that the Reverend Gary Davis claims to have learned it in 1905—at the age of 9—from a musician in a traveling carnival.  A blind street preacher who sang strictly Christian songs, Davis recorded the instrumental (as “Coco Blues”) but was never recorded singing the song.  He refused, in fact, to sing the original melody when he taught it to the many students who came through his shack in Harlem, instead talk-singing the lyrics.

In 1972 the docs gave Roy 7 years to live. Hence the album Lifemask' He's still going at 80! lol

His greatest song imo, anti organised religion, authorities
