Our video “Gospel” is also appropriate for the combination of #BlackHistoryMonth and #WomensHistoryMonth, with a focus on some of the amazing women of the early days of Soul, like Sister Rosetta Tharpe. https://youtu.be/K06AqhjjbdA

I needed this today. Maybe you do too?

Eminem hat’s gemacht, Lady Gaga und Justin Timberlake auch: Schauspielern und Musik machen. Und in diesen Club gehört auch Dua Saleh. Den meisten ist Saleh wahrscheinlich als Cal Bowman in der Netflix-Serie „Sex Education“ bekannt. Dabei ist Salehs musikalische Seite noch interessanter.

Rock'n'Roll war Rebellion, und alles darauf Folgende, weil vor #SisterRosettaTharpe nichts war... wie John Lennon einmal behauptete. Schöne vereinzelte Utopie ist, dass jede/*/r Sounds machen kann, mit preisgünstigem Equipment oder was vorliegt. Die Bandcamp-Situation ist darum etwas unbefriedigend. Wenn so "Underground, dass nicht 1 Zuhörerin das kennt", dann kann auch gelöst von einer Hörerinnenschaft zugehört werden. M.a.W. Produktion ohne

'o, these kids & rock & roll - this is just sped up rhythm & blues. i've been doing that forever.'
#art #history: sister rosetta tharpe (born #otd in 1915) was simply epic! you should probably go to your favourite video platform & search for her 1964 performance in chorlton-cum-hardy (a vignette of which was featured in the 2001 film, 'amelie', which was when i first became aware of her majesty). it influenced jeff beck & keith richards. enough said. #sisterRosettaTharpe #illustration #music

Born this day in 1915, Sister Rosetta Tharpe. If you don't know who Sister Rosetta was then you don't know the roots of Rock & Roll. A major influence on artists like Chuck Berry & Elvis. Here she is in England on May 7, 1964 with the Blues and Gospel Tour broadcast on Granada Television. One could wonder how many young English blokes picked up a guitar after seeing this performance.

Die ZEIT Nr 42 widmet ihr eine ganze Seite.

Sister Rosetta Tharpe ist in den 30er-Jahren eine der ersten Musikerinnen, die Gospelmusik im Mainstream verankert. Nicht nur das: Sie ist auch die erste Musikerin, die sich auf einer elektrischen und stark verzerrten Gitarre begleitet und so den Weg zum Rock’n’Roll bereitet.

#GreatAlbums1950s - #SisterRosettaTharpe – Gospel Train (1956). Billboard called Tharpe’s music “rock-and-roll spiritual singing” a decade before Elvis arrived at Sun Records. Her R&B gospel influenced the likes of Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin, and her breakout guitar solos anticipated the style of Chuck Berry. This 1956 set features Tharpe still at her peak, rocking the gospel like nobody else on “Jericho, “Up Above My Head” and other classics.
