If you like Gospel, Blues, Soul Rock & Roll or any other form of classic American music, you have got to watch this. A huge influence on many who came after her, yet largely forgotten, Sister Rosetta Tharpe is mind-blowingly great!

my city in the 60s..

+Yolanda Mason You have a problem with black women who you think try to
look white and you obviously have issues with mixed people who have white
in them but identify as being biracial (because thats what we are…duh.
thats a no brainer). Thats says a whole lot about your self esteem depite
this front you have put up. Under the skin of most people like you is
someone who hates themselves. I feel sorry for you. I love my identity, my
histories, my skin that can be sometimes dark and sometimes light and my
awesome hair no matter what racist bs people spill at me or whatever some
self hating ratchet has to say about how i need to conform to societies
rules regaring how im supposes to feel about my identity. Calling someone
like me confused is like saying i have to deny everything that make me me
besides the black part. I wont drop everything because afew silly people
are wollowing in self pitty. Its a shame mixed people have more pride than
most blacks.
I’m in love with Sister Rosetta.
Incredible guitarist and woman
My God if we just knew our history, we would not want to perm or bleach our
heritage away. We come from greats…………
Thumbs down for long Ad, sorry.
