It AMAZES me that this woman isn't in the Rock n Roll hall of Fame, but Madonna is.
thank you
Ain't that the truth.
aquanet2 madonna in HoF? gross
aquanet2,I agree with you she should be.
I don't believe she has any remaining family left..
She never had any children..
She needs recognition,
Even if it is Decades later,.She deserves this Rrhf!
She's gone underrated for so long..So sad and unfair..
She was born over 100yrs ago..Her hall of fame is past due!
She isn't in the rock n roll hall of fame,
She built it.
With her bare hands
Amen!
Entirely agree. That woman paved many roads. She doesn't need the Rock and Roll Hall to even consider her. She's a LEGEND.
May 2018, Rosetta Tharpe was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
And rightfully so, she is the birth-mother of R'nR!!
But, Sister Rosetta Tharpe IS in the R'n'R Hall of Fame, since 2018.

We don’t need a crappy Hollywood movie that twists the truth. We just need people to hear this incredible lady. ❤
hell yeah!
I'd like both, but hmm yesh, not worth risking it with those folk
You are absolutely correct ❤!!
i totally agree with you.
Why would you believe anything you see in a hollywood movie?
May the unemployed find a job, may the sick be healed and whoever reads this message be blessed 💚🙌🙌 ....
Amen!
Thank you..
God bless you
Amen brother
Vice versa ❤
She isn't the King or the Queen... she's the MOTHER of Rock 'n' Roll
YES 👉
That SG
She also was a child of God. Inspiring.
The God Mother of Rock 'n' Roll.
DAMN Right!!! Greetings from greece stay safe❤
We definitely need a movie about this amazing woman she's an icon like no other.
I just wrote the same thing.
There's an hourlong BBC documentary about her on UA-cam.

oh bollocks
I’m watching the amazing Sister Rosetta Tharpe on April 12, 2024 and wondering why she isn’t far better known. That voice. That guitar. That presence. One for the ages.
❤
Yes. Yes. And YES! It's shameful that more people don't know her. She was the Queen Bee!
She was extremely talented and engaging and crossed/connected "cultural" boundaries in a way that didn't suit the socio-political needs of those who controlled the marketing.
Look at her, she is sweating buckets, she is just pouring out her soul, preaching. My God, what an amazing woman!
She's an absolute goddess ❤
Stage lights are like little miniature suns. Extremely warm.
@@InceyWincey stage lights make a cold place into the kalahari desert haha
“She was a big, good-lookin woman, and divine, not to mention sublime and splendid. She was a powerful force of nature. A guitar-playin’, singin’ evangelist.” Bob Dylan
Cool name !
However, still could walk in the front door, nor drink from the same water fountain..
Touché
Sweet sound of Lord comes with her
Goddess
The real king of rock and roll is a queen !
Absolutely!
Amen!
No. Lmao
@@stubs1227 yes lmao gtfo wack ass
History proves that about many things .. male domination has caused alot of sorrow and bloodshed
How did I live for 45 years and only find out about her today? She's not even showing her power level. Amazing.
Just 2 decades in and feel the same
I'm 59 I have the same question. This woman is an icon
I felt the exact same way! How is it that someone so far ahead of the curve and I had never heard of her until one day… When I was at spikes pool hall in East LA on a Sunday afternoon where a small little church met The name of the church was the hotrod church for sinners and it was made up of greasers and rockabilly’s and they had a three-piece band playing rockabilly and honky-tonk and Sister Rosetta Tharpe! And I was never the same.
❤
I just heard of her today 11th May 2024 for the 1st time. I am 78. She is Truly
amazing. Bill. London.
If this lady does not get inducted into the rock n roll Hall of fame then the whole music industry needs to look at itself, this is proof she contributed to the birth of rock
In May 2018, Tharpe was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as an Early Influence.
I've never seen a performer announce what song they were gonna play, and then be receptive to the crowd's reaction and change the set list based on crowd feedback. What a performer!
true performers are far and few between now these days! back in the day... you dig!
Phish does it sometimes. Rosetta’s guitar playing is just absolutely incredible. No one was shredding like her back then.
I think Whitney Houston did it too sometimes
@@mabaker whitney who? No comparison.
Like she hadnt planned on it? Someone of her calibre would know exactly what she was doing.
Chuck Berry called Sister Rosetta Tharpe "The Mother of Rock n Roll".
Dumfries Spearhead it’s not rock and roll, I don’t understand
@@azula2399 It's because Rock really wasn't a thing yet. Think of this as Proto-Rock. Electric guitar. Soulful and spirited lyrics. This is what would turn into Rock and Roll. She was helping create rock.
Chuck Berry is often considered the man who created Rock and Roll. So that's a huge honor.
@@azula2399 ua-cam.com/video/PO4MNE31edM/v-deo.html Give this one a whirl. You can see where it helped set the groundwork for what would become delicious rock and roll.
Look at all the bands before her. Orchestras, brass, strings, woodwind. Rock and roll frontmen and women now lead with guitar, backed by whatever else, usually bass, percussion and more guitar. Sister Rosetta built that road. I even hear the beginnings of hip hop and rap, ‘though there ain’t none of them captivate me like she does. Hallelujah Sister!
Rock is not some White Power B.S.. It's this lady and gospel/soul/roots, rock-a- billy, heartfelt expression of experience. WAKE UP!
This woman created rock n roll. And as a blues guitarist myself, I love listening to her play. Every note oozes soul.
You know what kind of person exploited, profited, and took credit for it all
No! Little Richard
she was a Gospel blues singer. Grew up in the church chorus. She signed with Decca records in the late 1930ies.
She is know as the Godmother of rock and roll. But her love was Gospel. "This Train" her huge hit was sung by many before her. She stood out because of her presence. In the late 1930ies women did not play an electric guitar and sing on stage. She played to full houses a white fans. Sadly she died young in her 50ies of diabetes. Sadly both her husband's soaked off her fame and blew through her fortune.
@@commonsensethecynosure1639 Little Richard gave her credit, said she was a major influence on his music. Elvis and others didn't, and the industry used a lot of her technique and style.
She was the first musician to fill a stadium for a concert.
@@lizh1988 Chuck Berry said he (Chuck) made a career out of being a Sister Rosetta Tharpe impersonator.
Its almost 2024 we need a movie! Ugh, so inspiring.. this woman
She's not only singing gospel blues, she's also playing lead guitar .....unheard of in her day.... a true legend and as other contributors have opined, sadly overlooked...!
She would have had to use the back door too. Even though everyone came to see her. I assume paid next to nothing. Sad.
Stephanie Bravo! I love how people conveniently overlook that detail!
Mo Butter .... Do you think people are conscious of how it was? And hide it because they’re ashamed?
@@beals6631 weird huh? The fight for rights... are interesting. If you look at it. Children. Empoverished. Foreign or "Coloured." Female. Disabled. Hold a different belief system. Sexual orientation. Its all the same. Its all been a struggle. I wonder whats next? Maybe one day we will see past all the crap and value people for what they contribute rather than how much sex appeal or money they have. Its not about saying anyone person or group is wrong. But just celebrating how far weve come... but not resting on our laurels as i think we still have a long way to go when in comes to a collective enlightenment towards are fellow "man"
@@Stevie-steel Lot of assumptions eh . Different times , less disposable income , many people were on the poverty line . Rosetta was no fool , she knew she would have had a wider audience had she deviated from her Gospel based songs . Don't make a martyr out of her .Rosetta and her music changed the course of music history .
LOVED when she sang "don't carry no drinkers" and she turns around and gives the stink eye to a band member ....
That's Otis Spann.
Hahaha what a woman....😁🙏❤️
Otis Spann. He died of alcoholism in his early 40s.
Rob Rio oh man she called it
She did it out of love. Dude died of alcoholism.
she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018 - finally. she passed in 1973 - so it was almost 50 years . Embarrassed to say I never heard of her until after her passing and I started collecting Chess and Checker, Stax, and other labels that the blues and crossover artists were recording with in the mid 60s. But I honestly dont recall ever seeing a recording of hers in my searches those days. Shame. She deserved far more fame than she ever realized in her lifetime. Many others also did too. Kinda screwed up that I learned of the black blues artists from white English bands. But the emergence of the blues in UK in the early 60s is what brought their names to white kids like me. And since I went to a university 90 miles south of Chicago - that is where my love for the genre started.
Same with me. UA-cam educated me here. She is one of a kind. Have to hear all of her art.
She's taking me to church, and I ain't even mad! ❤
Yeah that holy spirit kinda hits with her! I'm about to go to church Easter Sunday now😂
I'm embarrassed that I knew nothing of this treasured artist until recently
Same! 👈
It was until today for me..I'm ashamed
Why the f uck would you be ashamed? You must be a homosexual, pink shirt wearing, self deprecated guy.
You owe nothing to the fact you didn't know.
I feel you, I'm just glad I learned who she was
I am with you, Brother. But let's learn and grow together. All the best to you and yours. Sincerely, an Internet Stranger.
A true entertainer...she was and will always be fabulous. Needs to be recognized in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.
Amen.
She is 🙄
She got in 2018. Way too late. She's the true mother of rock n roll.
Rock roll hall of fame is musically challenged
Yes.
before Chuck Berry, there was Sister Rosetta Tharpe .
I love the way she shushes her audience at the beginning of the song. “Listen to the words, children.” 🤫
At the age of 76 This old white trombone musician just discovered this incredible and hugely influential giant. So many people copied her style. She is a foundation of Rock and remains in it to this day. I am angry I was never exposed to her before. To think that Madonna and so many others were in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame before her is a travesty.
She will live on in my musical mind forever now. Blues, jazz, Rock and Gospel! Damn she make my white ass jump, like few others. If you’re up there singing and playing that steel I want you to know I love ya woman! Hey Jimi Hendrix, look her up man. You folks need to jam together.
I've been in music all my life and I only discovered her a few years ago by accident on UA-cam. What an incredible entertainer
Apparently Jimi was raised on Sister Rosetta. I'm sure he was stood in front of St Peter at the gate when she arrived, guitars in hand!
@fionatyler9928
Hendrix, Presley, Berry, Clapton, Richards, Jagger, and many more other fine legends of the rock'n roll era all spoke of her in articles and in biographies. [update]
amen
White supremacy demands that black people's contributions be lost to history. It's why we have to fight the DeSantis' of the world. It's ridiculous that this talented woman with a huge personality isn't well-known and appreciated.
Not only did Rosetta Tharp preform wonderfully, but her band members did as well...Together it was just plain "heavenly." Hallelujah, and Amen...
perform
Ottis span was the bad boy of the group but performed awesomely. Half brother to Muddy water. Watch when she sings, no drinkin!!! You can hear him nod n wink...
@@ramsramsay1267 Otis Spann always performed awesomely. Their may be blues pianists as good as him, but none better.
👍😀
Waren Zevon nominated her years ago.
Told my 12 year old son, take a good look, this is where rock music started.
Yes it is!!
you are absolutely right, this is who influenced Jimi Hendrix and many others
;)
Better to introduce him when he is in his 20's. He will think its lame when he is older.
+Grathom15
When I was 5, I was a fan of Mahalia Jackson, so... not sure.
So much RESPECT for this amazing woman
She brought heart and soul in her messege about God
She had faith talent and class
That's what is so rare in musicians, the look of mischief! So good!
Sister Rosetta Tharpe Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class of 2018. Finally!!
👏👏👏👏👏
Hallelujah!!!
Awesome
Wonderful news!
@Quirt Manly I was in the same situation. UA-cam is where I discovered her. It may be years after her death,but by more and more people discovering her,therefore her life was not lived in vain. Be Blessed.
She shushed them... i swear i almost cried at that moment. I've never seen a singer shushing the audience before. It just means "no, im not singing this for your entertainment, no, i dont need the sound of your claps, my performance is pure, this song is bigger than you, let me do my thing". It's a clean train...
And they did!😁
And so did i 🙊😆
Exactly 😂
Watch Springsteen do 41 shots(American skin) live, people start clapping and he lets crowd know this is not a clapping song
I agree. She wanted folk to hear the message.
THE GODMOTHER OF ROCK&ROLL! SHE INVENTED ROCK AND ROLL.❤ NO ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME NEEDED! SHE INVENTED IT 100%
Put this lady in the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame before the entire sh*t house goes up in flames... Damn... Unbelieveable.
agreeeed
In May 2018, Tharpe was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as an Early Influence.
@@RErnie-gv1hvthey say early but she was pretty much the Big Bang for Rock N Roll 🙌
@@Mr_Nobody913 For sure. But
"Early influence" was the best R.R.H.of F. gave Ms. Rosetta.
Not a particularly religious man, but I can appreciate the voice of an angel when I hear one. What a beautiful song, so happy when I find new music, or "new to me" music. And she is hilarious in her mannerisms!
@@cappystrano1 i always considered good music to be the soul of humanity.
@@cappystrano1 You can say that again. There is nothing true about religion. However, Rosetta Tharpe was an incredible artist
Hear, hear. The only time I can handle anything religious is when black people are singing it 😂🤣😂🤣😂🥰 But I must admit, this song is so deep! It doesn't have to be translated strictly in a religious way. ".....pull no liars......" gave me goosebumps ❤️
@@cappystrano1 Jesus Christ is THE truth.

These are the people Hollywood should focus on
Hollywood is a modern-day Babylon. Not too much holy there.
jranda1051
Why Hollywood?
No, they'd fucking ruin it. We know her story, speak to people, spread the story, don't let Hollywood get it's grubby paws on it.
And they do... movies have been made about tons of great artists. From Ray Charles to Johnny Cash. The challenge is making one about someone who is lesser known. If you can't get asses in the seats via the subjects fame no one will make the movie. Would like to see Netflix or someone like that fill the gaps though.
@@DiscriminateTaste Hollywood is not a thing though and when you slag it all you are doing is slagging thousands of artists and art itself. Don't watch the movies you aren't interested in. A better option than being authoritarian about what other people do or want to watch (not you but often people who make comments like this). Also art does not dictate who people are. I love horror movies and am a strong believer in God.
This Woman Embellishes the Very Essence of Freedom and Spirituality, God bless This beacon of Truth 😍✌️🙏
Back when good music, stylish clothes, good art, and architecture were respected... back when we still had culture...
And an overwhelming love for God and people. There's a solid icon we can all love, surely!
An people had a fear of God Almighty
We still have culture....allthough rare.
Saw sister Rosetta perform at the Birmingham Town Hall in England in 1958. Went backstage where she kindly signed my programme. I still have it naturally. She rocked the house down that night!
Peter Campbell ,That is Awesome!
Peter Campbell Lucky man to have just been in her presence.
i am jealous
lucky man in his 80´s like my dad isnt it?, thxs to him I know these jewels, grandosns also love this music
Lucky duck!
This is remarkable to me that she had such command of her audience and was calling all the shots - a real force to be reckoned with - at a time when she probably had to sit at the back of the bus, and had to use segregated washrooms. I’d like to think that with music the barriers temporarily disappear. Rock on, Sister Rosetta.
Not that too far off mam, especially in the early days of jazz and blues record companies didn't particularly care who recorded with whom since the buyer couldn't tell if you're black or white on the song.
The barriers temporarily disappear? There was not a black face in the audience!
Such a power move to shush an entire room of white people.
She live to the 70s so I'd like to think she witnessed the rise of the civil Rights movement.
Lmfao. That Hollywood shit you believe about racism isnt real dude
Blues, Gospel,Rock and Roll !!!! Bless you sweet woman! You're in our Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Every time someone around me brags about knowing "everything about music" I ask them about Sister Rosetta and their answer is always "Who?". What a shame. This woman needs so much more recognition. She needs to be put where she belongs : at the top of blues, gospel ad rock'n'roll music.
They know everything about music but they think that anything that wasn't made within the last 2 years is ancient or if they don't know who the artist is they automatically assume that it's some 80s artist that no one listens to.
This Woman is the Mother of Rock and Roll but she just drips the blues, love her!
I must admit I was sure she was saying something else instead of winkers.. 😊
Not the mother of Rock....there were several before her.
Most underrated woman in blues... True talent.... Im a metal rock guy but damn this woman true talent goin on here
Forevernight I’m more of a classic rock / punk rock but I have so admiration and respect for this lady for paving the rock m roll road especially in those days
Im also a death, black metal guy, but who wouldn't appreciate so much art.
I hear ya. I saw a video on her several years ago and though the same thing, shes the seed of Rock.
Forevernight I would love to have her voice in a balls out metal band!
I listen to everything from death metal to Nat King Cole to old school rap. Talent transcends genres. She is gloriously raw.
Those old stage lights were a thousand times hotter back then than they are now... this woman is incredible.
Music will never be this good again. NEVER
Yes it will....You just have to research. Granted she is supurb....but you are speaking with emotion.....Do hours....days and months of research.....Music today in rare instances is tied with the Sister..Rosetta..you just have to listen and do the research.
I just heard of her 10 minutes ago. This is stunning.
Amazing right?
The best
Ari?
Same! She’s amazing. 👆
same lol, I love it
This woman has so much class & talent she puts 99% of today's female singers to shame. No vulgarities, no skimpy clothes, just 100% percent class and talent. How I wish music was like this today..........
Sister Rosetta is playing that guitar like she’s ROCKING A BABY ON HER HIP! Is there anything more natural… it’s like that guitar is a lil child of hers! ITS ALL TOGETHER ENCHANTING ❤
The world is a messed up place. She is an incredible person. And can shred a Gibson SG. So beautiful.
This lady was ahead of her time in music. She is great and had too little recognition. I've only just heard of her. This is where rock and roll and soul music started.
I think, maybe, she was her time. The others were just following the past still.
@@whirving Facts!!!!!
Chuck Berry was hugely influenced by her
If you've "only just heard of her"...then you don't now jack.

She's dead man.
Love her music ! Love from Germany 🇩🇪
I’m right there with you!
My daddy introduced me to her music when I was a young girl. This lady is amazing. I have loved her music all of my life and I thank her for her music and being so brave.
"This train don't pull no whiskey drinkers and wankers"❤ the conviction of this woman's voice and guitar is so real and righteous. Wow!
I think she was trolling Otis when she sang that part.
She’s saying “WINKERS.”
These are the ones who inspired Elvis to sing. This is the soul of Americana.
And the ones who caused the British Invasion. Sonny Boy Williamson (II) allegedly said "those British boys want to play the blues so bad, and they do."
Make America Black Again!
Elvis was important for rock n roll.
bass reeves what’s your problem with Elvis? He was as great and even greater (in terms of fame) than many other rock n roll singers. Elvis was one of the greatest singers and in my opinion (and many others) he was the greatest in rock n roll, his nickname “the king” wasn’t given for nothing after all
Absolutely, this lady is one of the reasons why we had Elvis because she was just amazing and she inspired him to be as good as he was.
I definitely can see a movie about her & her life with Queen Latifah playing the hell out of her!!! So gifted...such talent!
Great idea.
Latifah would kill it for sure
@Deb L. Agree. Just what was now thinking. Almost a dead ringer.
OMG, YES!
I would say Brittany Howard
Just discovered Ms Tharpe as a German. Have to say, very impressive. Thanks UA-cam!
She is in the Hall of Fame since 2018
Hello! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day…Stay Safe!
I've only just discovered this wonderful woman. It just amazes me that artists such as this could, even during such horrific discrimination, produce the most unfathomable beautiful music, it just blows my mind. I love her!
They suffered though. They had to be tough as nails. They also had to leave the country to be appreciated as they should have. Undoubtedly, it is happening again today! Rita Moreno, Lena Horne, Pearl Baily, Ella Fitzgerald all paid their dues big time. Rita is Hispanic and the only one still living. She faced the struggles and disgusting racism. It makes me sick to bear witness to it my entire life only to see it get worse now that I am 70 years old.
All wonderful comments!!!
This is the real deal!!!
It is a sad comment on the racist mindset of so many....God is LOVE
@@carolfishwr8703 wow, worse. how can that be. Im not saying your wrong, but in my white mind and i see whites, Black, Asians and Hispanic kids playing together and i think to my self what a wonderful life

I just discovered her myself I don't think I've ever heard her sing before but my gosh is she fabulous absolutely stellar
Telling the crowd to shush - love it.
Just like Justin Bieber lol
Like Justin Bieber? WHAT? Are you completely insane? Should we call the wagon for you now? This music is so far above and beyond the Biebs, it is in a different universe. Man, if you can not be moved by this, there is no way to tell you.
Telling the crowd to Shush! Bieber likes to do that also. Never said he is a good artist or better than this Queen. I think you need to go to Spec-savers! "LOL" at the end of the first comment? It stands for laugh out loud, not lots of love.
WellI would never go to a Biebs concert and indulge that sort of garbage complete lack of skill music, so how would I know? I would not even go if I was 12 years old. Now why would I need "spec savers" I assume you mean glasses? Because I dont know all of Biebs habits? Glasses would help to understand him better? Well then they would have to be X ray long distance glasses, as I would never go see an unskilled lip-syncer in concert. I suggest you purchase such a pair instead.. as you seem to know a lot about this Beibs guy. Maybe you already have some? I would rather go see some awesome music like Rosetta, and stuff like this. Fortunately there still is some, it just does not get on the radio. Have fun, bucko, I got stuff to do. Say hello to the Biebs for me.
Ok will do, fun is my middle name. Good luck with your stuff you have to do. You do know you can change your radio to a different station. Take it easy Fungi try not hurt yourself.
Queen of Rock n Roll! Without her and many others, rock would never exist
Sister Rosetta Tharpe is THE Queen, THE Pioneer and THE Legend of Rock'n'Roll!
Absolutely phenomenal gift!!!❤❤❤🎉
The wonderful Otis Spann on piano! When she sang, "This train don't carry no whiskey drinkers!" She looked over at Otis Spann, and he laughed. Poor guy died at the age of 40. His poor health was caused in large part by alcoholism. Genius lost to alcohol.
Yet, she had her own battles....
She was slamming heroin heavy

What a beautiful sound , thank you Lord, and thank you sister Rosetta. To all you thumbs down, We’ll pray that your EARS are opened.
Ms Tharpe is in 2018 class of rock n roll hall of fame. A true pioneer
Negative, we take up for our own until wrongs are made right that's why we still exist this passive attitude is how people are made weak and we will never be weak so no thank you. We will fight for justice I was apart of a campaign to put her in it and I will be a part of it again this year while you sit and do nothing hopefully you'll sign the vote to yes but based on your reply here you'll just scroll on 👍🏾

The person who sees God's creation of joy and talent with happiness does far more to change the world in the best way, rather than those who look for what is wrong in everything. When you look for bad constantly you will find it. When you look for the good in all things you will ultimately find that as well. Seeing the good and talent of this great woman with joy and happiness honors her far more than your anger will ever do.
She's in the Hall. When I visited in 2019 I went straight to the gallery and some headphones to listen to her.
This train pull no cigar smokers, whisky drinkers. Great. She is a preacher.
you are listening to gospel my friend
A fabulous and true performer. May her soul feel the blessings she gave so many during her time on earth.
I remember growing up in Mississippi as a child and singing this It has been over 5 decades since I heard it and I still know it by heart. It is literally part of me now.
There's a great version of this song that was performed at a train station by multiple folk and blue grass musicians. They made it look like an impromptu jam. Sister Rosetta is the best, but that version is worth checking out.
Me too Petal Mississippi

Ladies and gentlemen, the creator of Rock and Roll.
On October 5, 2017, Tharpe was listed as a nominee for the 2018 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductions. On December 13, 2017, she was elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as an Early Influence.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame should open their windows and call in an exterminator to clean out the rot from the decades the Train was not clean.
Early influencer? She was the bomb.
Bout time
I have nothing but respect for Mrs. Tharp. Rest in peace, ma'am. You praised your lord, and we're one of the most essential figures in creating rock as we know it. You were an angel with a six-string, on earth.

Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life no man cometh unto the Father but by me . not a train but through the door
The True Creator of Rock n Roll. What a Legendary Woman. Its beyond an insult she isn't in the RRHOF........❤
The all time greatest female guitarist to have ever lived and no other will be just as she!!
It's seems that most of people here ignore who is Big Mama Thornton, sad.
All time greatest. Period.
Awwwwww man. I wish my Granny was here. I never knew this was an actual song. I peed in my Granny’s bed and as she gave me my issue she was singing, “this train don’t carry no pisser’s” 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣. She tore me up. My Granny was something else. Lol. I love that Lady to this day.
Your granny and Ms. Tharpe were awesome women.
BEST COMMENT
I love that! hahahaha Your Granny sounded lovely. My Nan used to sing little sweary rhymes to me too. She always followed it up with, "Don't tell your Dad".
Grandmothers are THE BEST!!!
That is one of the cutest "granny" stories I've ever heard. Isn't it wonderful that most people have clear memories of their grandparents?
This is crazy, how is it possible this is the first time I have heard this master piece.
2020 first time for me and I'm 46 but not American
59 and never heard this. I love her style.
Me too!!!
Right!
@@keepingjesusforever9490 56, and never heard of her before. Oh what I've missed!
Rosetta Tharpe ist mir leider erst jetzt begegnet … sie ist unglaublich und wird mich im Herzen begleiten 💫
I just love this woman she could keep you in the song with her expression and the voice of a 10.000 angles.
Love the pronunciation of 'winkers'! Even more appropriate in British Slang! This woman rules! Elvis copied her dancing, Chuck Berry her guitar, and Aretha Franklin her vocals! She even invented the Rock tour bus, as half her band were black and half were white. As they couldn't stay in the same hotels in the segregated US of the day, she bought an old Greyhound coach and had it fitted with beds and showers etc. Wonderful music, amazing woman!
Wow, amazing facts. Thank you kindly for sharing this magic with us.
The idea that Elvis copied Rosetta tharpe is nonsense,she inspired him and lots of other black gospel singers inspired him as well he grew up in the Pentecostal faith where these performers were always performing for God's sake he was a fan of hers and who can blame him?
Wow amazing!
My goodness she does gospel in a blues coat - as Martin Luther King said the blues is the expression of pain and of regaining dignity!
Can't measure the soul Queen Rosetta is emanating.
This woman should have been in the Hall OF Fame ✊🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This child of God is telling it like it is. Sing, sing, sing! 🙏
More unfounded and pointless speculation by a gullible religious drone. Aint no train, aint no heaven. Youve never seen it and neither has anyone else
@@jupitermoongauge4055 I guess we'll find out in the end, won't we? I'll take my chances on the side of God, not on some arrogant, self-absorbed, negative, nihilistic dead-souled gibbon like you. Have a nice day.
@@jupitermoongauge4055 Man, sorry you think of Miss Tharpe like that. You got a hole in your heart, I hope you fill it
Satan bless you dear
I would love a biopic. Queen Latifah should play Sister Rosetta as there is a striking resemblance.
I said the same!!! I think she could bring an outstanding performance.
Not they'll only mess up her legacy leave it alone
Oh yes, absolutely.
@@teenatchie2235 agreed
@@hazelchief-rabbit5903 yes
It's wonderful to come here and listen to really great music! Thank you!
Rosetta tharper the mother of the rock n' roll.
The Godmother Of Rock And Roll - all that came after owe it to this fine lady........
This is actually old country folk/southern gospel song.There were other versions before her.
What a gorgeous, fascinating, and talented woman. It's sad to think that she created so much glorious content and is overlooked.
She is not overlooked..you are here. So am I, and many others. Many people saw her play in her lifetime. This music will last forever. If humanity makes it through the current upheaval of evil, 100 years from now people will listen and say "awesome".
I just saw the news report. She will now be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!!
She is overlooked no longer. Sister Rosetta Tharpe is a 2018 inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
As are 99.9% of women musicians!
>>Sister Rosetta Tharpe is a 2018 inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
What took so long? Should have been done long ago.
I love Sister Rosetta! When I get to heaven I'm gonna give her one helluva hug!!!
She's in the Hall of Fame in our eyes, hearts and souls where her memory and herself can stay forever and ever Salute to you Great Mother Queen, Founder and Inventor of Rock n Roll
This woman is a treasure, why don't we see a movie?
I think queen latifea would make the perfect actress I think. Because she needs the recognition...this coming from a 90's alt heavy rock listener but I just love good music from classical to country to blues
There is 4 part biography on her on UA-cam

@@phantom4285 Thank you
@@danielcallahan4825 I feel what you're saying.....there's only two kinds of music...good and bad.
this woman's got more talent than any pop star today.
Whatever you think of her message there is no denying she was a musical prodigy!
The pianist ab libbing for her is just as legendary. 🔥
The great Otis Spann on the keys!
For those concerned, it's ad* libbing, from latin ad ⇔ to, and libitum ⇔ please / pleasure. So it can be read as a tribute to pleasure. :)
Mr otis spann.
I've been on the road to Damascus a mighty long time... I just experienced that beautiful moment of clarity.
Me too
Congratulations brother
Hallelujah!
I hear you brother
I walked that dusty road for thirty-seven miserable, empty years with occasions of false happiness! Clarity came twenty-seven years ago. Can’t take credit for it, but I can give thanks for it!!! 😊 Happy, joyous days for you Dr.! ❤️
This is absolute gold.I was raised listening to the best of the legends from my birth onward thanks to my parents. I'm seventy.
Hello Carol, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus???
If you tube hadn’t somehow recommended this video, I would never have known this remarkable and revolutionary woman existed.
Rosetta is rocking a gibson sg super deluxe with burstbuckers ,many British groups stole her style and chord progressions(gospel themed)but she was the real thing before elvis and the stones and eric clapton etc.. they owe it all to people like, Rosetta Tharpe muddy, lil richard, bbking, janes brown, ray charles ella fitzgerald chicago jazz, memphis blues etc......
+donthewatcher
There is no "SG Super Deluxe, nor "burstbuckers". It's a Gibson Les Paul Custom from the year or two that Gibson made them with the slab mahogany body before they changed the name, at Les Paul's request, to the SG. One can tell it's a Custom because it has three humbuckers and the rectangular block inlays. A Les Paul/SG Special had two P90 (single coil) pickups, and the Standard had two humbuckers with parallelogram inlays.
The rest of your comments, and the most important part of your message is dead-on and completely true!
This one is the closest they make to that today:
