He wasn't exactly unsung, but he never got his due. One of my favorites out of all the great New Orleans musicians.
New Orleans rock ānā roll pioneer Huey 'Piano' Smith has died
He never quite got over being shafted by (Ace Records owner) Johnny Vincent, who took his vocals off of Sea Cruise. claimed co-writing credit, and released it with vocal track by Frankie Ford, allegedly b/c he felt a white boy would appeal more to white girls. Ironic if you know anything about Frankie Ford, who was flamboyantly gay.

From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...
