About the artist

Sister Rosetta Tharpe

SISTER ROSETTA THARPE was a musical force to be reckoned with, a pioneer who blended gospel, blues, and rock 'n' roll long before it was cool. Known as the "Godmother of Rock 'n' Roll," Tharpe's soul-stirring vocals and electrifying guitar skills captivated audiences around the world. Born in Arkansas in 1915, Tharpe began playing guitar and singing in church at a young age. Her performances were electrifying, blending sacred and secular music in a way that was both revolutionary and ahead of its time. Tharpe's powerful voice and infectious energy set her apart from her peers, earning her a devoted following wherever she went. Tharpe's influence can still be felt today, with artists like Elvis Presley, Little Richard, and Johnny Cash citing her as a major inspiration. Her groundbreaking blend of gospel and blues laid the foundation for the rock 'n' roll sound that would define a generation. Despite facing discrimination and adversity throughout her career, Tharpe never wavered in her commitment to her music. Her fearless spirit and unapologetic passion for her art continue to inspire musicians of all backgrounds and genres. In a world that often tries to put artists in neat little boxes, Sister Rosetta Tharpe defied categorisation. With her infectious energy, soul-stirring voice, and unmatched guitar skills, she blazed a trail that few have been able to follow. Tharpe may be gone, but her music lives on, a testament to her enduring legacy as one of the greatest musicians of all time.
