The Story Of Sister Rosetta Tharpe 01

If you like Gospel, Blues, Soul Rock & Roll or any other form of classic American music, you have got to watch this. A huge influence on many who came after her, yet largely forgotten, Sister Rosetta Tharpe is mind-blowingly great!

Donald Mccall rock and roll cane from the house of God, not Rosetta. Let’s get it all right people. There’s no color to this game. When you believe there’s color you are being distracted. Music is good and it’s from God. Evil corrupts music and that’s why we are where we are today. That’s why there is “Rock and Roll.” Fuck Rock and Roll. It’s just music. Good or bad it’s music. But where it comes from we are trying to figure out. Why we like it, trying to figure that out.

[@cloroxbleach566]

The way it is worded still doesn't give her proper respects in my opinion. Why is Elvis still the King of Rock N Roll? She was just a "model and inspiration" yet everyone after her .. were "rock originators"....such bullshit. She wouldn't have been even put in if it weren't for the internet bringing her back up. Sister Rosetta Tharpe is one of the essential figures in the history of rock and roll. If she had not been there as a model and inspiration, Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and other rock originators would have had different careers. No one deserves more to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Sister Rosetta became famous in 1938 with a record called “Rock Me.” She was a star through the 1940’s, a black woman singing gospel music to the accompaniment of her own driving electric guitar - howling and stamping. Her 1945 recording “Strange Things Happening Every Day” has been credited as the first gospel song to cross over to the “race” (later called “R&B”) charts - reaching Number Two and becoming an early model for rock and roll. She was a sensation, selling out arenas into the 1950’s. In 1947, Sister Rosetta was the first person to put a 14-year-old boy named Little Richard Penniman on a stage. It changed Little Richard’s life - he decided right then to become a performer. In 1951, twenty-five thousand fans paid to attend her on-stage wedding at Griffith Stadium in Washington DC. She was the hottest act on stage with a guitar. She became a model for Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis. Johnny Cash called her his favorite singer and biggest inspiration. By the early Sixties the musical revolution she inspired had forgotten her - so Sister Rosetta went to England and played electric guitar for the young blues fans of London and Liverpool. Without Sister Rosetta Tharpe, rock and roll would be a different music. She is the founding mother who gave rock’s founding fathers the idea. selected discography “Rock Me,” “That’s All,” “The Lonesome Road” • (1938) “Shout, Sister, Shout!” • (1942) “Strange Things Happening Every Day” (1945) • “Nobody’s Fault But Mine” (1949) • Gospel Train (1956) • Sister On Tour (1961)

Naughty fellas such as Wynonie Harris invented rock and roll, a new kind of jump blues that had the message partying-is-our-religion, mentioned "deacons" and the like and paralleled "rocking in the bosom of Abraham" with rocking the joint, and mixed gospel musical style in (such as backbeat, previously associated mainly with the church) to make the joke even more obvious.
