@popcornreel Rosetta Tharpe, saw her on old b&w TV as a kid! I think it was live!!! Blown Away! Since then "Always an Estuary Bluesman!"

It's sad how little you hear about Sister Rosetta, considering the massive impact she had on Rock'n'Roll.

@curry Well said. She was the grand architect of rock and roll. And surprise, surprise she indeed gets no credit at all,
@popcornreel still waiting for an artist model of her. Especially the white SG with gold hardware, maestro tremolo and triple HB would be great.
@popcornreel have you heard the Frank Turner song about her? I love that he’s helping share her story to the next generation

@popcornreel As is my habit, whenever #SisterRosettaTharpe comes up in conversation, I like to shout out the @great78 of archive.org, which takes old 78 RPM discs, digitizes them, and makes them available on the internets; they introduced me to Sister Rosetta, and they have an amazing collection of her work!
