SISTER ROSETTA THARPE: the original soul sister
i got shivers when i came across this woman. i remember a cd came across at work last week that i never saw before. on the cover was a chunky black chick with dimples and a guitar and i was IMMEDIATELY intrigued. when i listened, i felt chills. my spirit QUAKED and i got goosepimples
.
why do all these amazing people get lost in the cracks of history?
she's been listed as a personal influence to jimi hendrix, elvis, johnny cash....
original soul.
lady was shredding that guitar up long before anyone that we claim as guitar gods now.
my new guitar goddess rosetta..
what flair! by the way, it rained during this performance. if you listen, you can hear the rumble of thunder in the background
