Instead of posting a list of the same song by various players, today, I’m paying homage to a single musician and a single of genre of music
Another side of Our Blues roots is often overlooked is the influence of black gospel. I recently came across Sister Rosetta Tharpe who was one of the most amazing performers ever. One of the greatest voices that I’ve heard in any genre of music and she played guitar in a style similar to T Bone Walker
I’ve included part 1 of a documentary on her and it reveals that Elvis was a big fan of Sister Rosetta and you can hear her influence in his singing
Hope you guys like this – to me, Sister Rosetta Tharpe was nothing short of amazing – both as a singer and a guitar player (get the impression that I like her??)
