Sister Rosetta Tharpe was the first guitar heroine and is known as the godmother of rock and roll. She was there before Elvis, Little Richard and Johnny Cash swiveled their hips and strummed their guitars. Through her unforgettable voice and gospel swing crossover style, Tharpe influenced a generation of musicians including Aretha Franklin, Chuck Berry, and countless others. Her career, which spanned four decades, was grounded in both her confidence and the characteristic rawness she brought to her performance’s night after night. https://youtu.be/3NFywQdeKSo #BlackHistoryMonth
