From the first appearance of the blues in the 20's, it was denounced by many preachers and church going folk as being "The Devil's Music". We beg to differ.

Lyrics
Well it was early Sunday mornin', preacher knockin' at my door.
Well it was early Sunday mornin', that ol' preacher's knockin' on my door.
He said, "Your soul's in mortal danger, why don't you come 'round church no more?" ...so I said to him, I said, listen here...
I'm too busy makin' music,
The God that I love he loves creativity.
I'm too busy makin' music,
the God that I love he loves creativity.
He don't demand you worship Him in only One Way,
And if I'm wrong I'll be in stellar company.
[spoken]And the preacher came back and he said, "Son...you're goin' straight to hell in a hand-basket. And I said, "Is that so?" And he said, [sung]
"Well I heard that you've been playin' Devil's music, stayin' up late and blowin' harp in evil bars. You'd better spend your time areadin' in the good book, or on the road to Heaven you won't get too far..."
And I said to him:
I'm too busy makin' music,
The God that I love he loves creativity.
I'm too busy makin' music,
the God that I love he loves creativity.
He don't demand you worship Him in only One Way,
And if I'm wrong I'll be in stellar company.
