Thank god for the internet! Here are some little historical music ditties I found online while writing my novel, "Because We Could: An Unauthorized Love Story". The book contains a lot of references to the great Rock n' Roll of the 70's. A few musicians were also characters in the story: David Keller (aka Crazy David), Burton Cummings of the Guess Who, and Toby McGregor.
For a soundtrack of the songs in my novel, you can go to youtube and have a listen on my channel:

Often a Hammond B3 organ and Leslie are mentioned in the book. To hear the sound of this quintessential Rock and Roll combo, have a listen to Procol Harum:
