The Godmother Of Rock And Roll. Options

[Sensible Jones]

I was just chatting with a friend of mine and we both mentioned this lady and it reminded me of how many people would not have heard of her or her music or the influence she had on the early period of Rock 'n' Roll.
So, my question to you guys is this:-
Have you ever heard of Sister Rosetta Tharpe?


A great quote about her from the gospel singer Ira Tucker:-
When you talked about Rosetta Tharpe you talked about a ball of energy. This woman would come out on the stage she’d have people laughing, she’d talk to them in a way that it was almost like she was related to them. And when she finished her act, they were standing. You know, they would love this woman. And she was a lovable person. I mean she was an approachable person. Even though she was a diva too, you know, because she did play the diva role.
