  Two songs come to mind and I think it is one of these two.
  1) Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot
  2) The Jack by AC/DC

  1) Male singer (acoustic/light rock style and sounds current vocally)
  
  2) 1970s
  
  3) I doubt it's a band
  
  4) Has a corny catchphrase - but the verse of the song is very good
  
  5) has a key change in the song
  
  Other than that I have no idea. How would I go about figuring this out?

  Phil Collins - Groovy Kind of Love ?

  I'm not sure it's possible to not recognize ACDC when you hear them.
  
  I was thinking Gordon Lightfoot too though.
• cat_lover

  It is possible that I missed the mark on the AC/DC
• Dthane

  If it could be early 80's I'd say "Putting on the Ritz", but then I would not know a key change if one ran me over.

  I was looking forward to answering this question as 70s music is my area of expertise...but those clues were useless.
• rydawg5

  I still dont know. I have to re-hear the song on XM radio before I can tell you.
• Timber

  Hmmm... Corny catch phrases in the seventies for 100 Alex.
  
  Whoa Black Betty... Bam-a-lam
  
  Who could forget YMCA
  
  BTW How the eff can you forget a catch phrase??
• rydawg5

  It's not the well known nor is it a catchphrase persay. It's more acoustic and folky. I dont know man, im so frustrated I cant figure this out.
