Mar 13, 2021 at 9:30 comment added Ian Stewart An excellent book about the origins of old jazz, blues and also pop music is "It's One For The Money" by Clinton Heylin. He shows how unscrupulous people claimed credit for songs that had been around for decades, or were folk songs, and published them claiming it is their copyright. Ostensibly it is about the history of copyright but is a wonderful history of popular music. Be warned though, after reading it you could become misanthropic.
