Sister Rosetta Tharpe -Documentary 2011

[@smoovart]

Sister Rosetta Tharpe The Mother of Rock and Roll is finally in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It's only right. All of her fanboys are already in.

[@renewilson2540]

Amen!

[@LorenaMonroyoficial]

Exactly!

[@grantmo821]

Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Bill Haley, Elvis Presley, etc, they helped Rock & Roll grow out of it's infancy . But Sister Rosetta, a fabulously talented & brave gospel singer & musician, she gave birth to the the sound that would take over the world. They finally admitted her to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in December, 2017. She should have had her own wing before they even opened the doors.

[@katherinehunter9526]

Yes she should have her own Wing with a Crown for the Guitar Queen! It's so sad that it took until December 2017 to give Rosetta her Rightful place as The Godmother of Rock n Roll! Well at least it finally happened. 👑🎸🎶💞

So Johnny B Goode was actually Sister Rosetta Tharpe?

[@klausklebstoff8240]

@@gordonspond No that was Marty Mcfly

[@musik102]

The dreadful power of the internet. One person makes a pile of wild claims and suddenly it's the truth! Sister Rosetta was nowhere near as influential as this documentary claims and, compared to Charlie Christian ( who was massively influential ) she was musical small fry.

[@jcchile69]

Why nobody talked 'bout her before... easy: - she was born black - she was born WOMAN - she crossed over gospel to secular world... She is a hero!! 🙌🙌🙌

[@ajtstvandmusicarchivechann1585]

Her skin color had nothing to with it. If it was, chuck berry was black and he was famous. Nor did her sex have anything to do with it as there were mamy famous singers who were famous (although they werent rock singers. ) I think a big part of it comes down to she was a gospel singer.

Wow! When my older sister left home in around 1967, her bus stopped for lunch in the South and she could not go in the store to buy food because they didn't serve Blacks. A kind, White gentleman did the same for her--he bought the food and brought it out to her. She's now 69 years old and just told me about this last year. Just goes to show you, there always have been people who would choose to do the right things. My life have been blessed by so many of them. And I try to pay it forward. Praise God.

[@ask4theupgrade359]

I totally agree with you. I just saw an off broadway production about her life called "Marie and Rosetta". Kecia Lewis gave an amazing portrayal as Sister Rosetta Tharpe. However, I just kept thinking how perfect Queen Latifah would be for the Broadway or movie version.

[@Pakissita]

Queen Latifah played as Bessie Smith in the movie Bessie and she was amazing.

+U.S. SAM because she was a black woman (2 double whammies) and in the 30's & 40's, no person was going to give her as much recognition as they did Chuck Berry, B.B. King and the like. She is in the Blues Hall of Fame, though.

[@kbrandy1556]

Massy Biagio Because many of the so-called roll and roll historians chose to "rewrite" music history. It doesn't in their eyes make "good copy" to give TRUE credit where it is undeniably deserved. They eventually will start giving her the accolodes her deserved in her lifetime. But it is such a travesty, she deserved the awards when she was alive. Another example of American hypocrisy. Too little too late! It is utterly embarrassing that English writers, historians and critics know and celebrate her than her own countrymen and citizens. To the creators and producers of this video, THANK YOU!

[@HotToddy357]

2018 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominee . . . 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.

[@bkizzu2701]

Elvis and cash and Lewis never invented anything associated with rock and roll. They got the music from Berry and Richard, etc, who actually carried tharpes sound to the level of rock and roll.

[@UncleDavesKitchen]

I saw her perform when I was a child. She was wonderful

[@Breakbeats92.5]

Undeniable influence on early Rock and Roll. I can't believe how many years she pre dates Ray Charles fusion of gospel and secular music. His fusion of course was an enormous contribution to the formation of R&B, which was itself lent itself to Hip Hop. Unreal.
