@@tikabass Yes, but I do not think she was at her peak at a young age. She is said to have accompanied her mother on their performances, but certainly got even better with increasing age and routine. In any case, a fantastic singer and guitarist for me and probably more completely unknown here in Sweden in any case. Thanks for your reply. th-cam.com/video/BpTtLy2udwY/w-d-xo.html
@@seriksson9721 Rosetta was gathering crowds playing guitar and siging the gospel at age 4. And touring/headlining with her mother at age 6, billed as a ‘singing and guitar playing miracle’. She was 8 years old when Chuck Berry was born.
@@tikabass I humbly thank you for your answer and all the very interesting information about this in both our minds very talented and fantastic artist. Source of inspiration for many, yes. But could she really play so well at the age of 8?
She was a gospel artist. She didn't help invent rock and roll, which was a sacrilegious joke that consisted of performing black jump blues as if it were black gospel, meaning sex and partying are _our_ religion. The big beat, e.g., was added to the jump blues to make the joke clear because a big beat had previously been associated with gospel. "Butcher Pete" by Roy Brown 1949 is an example of rock and roll and he was one of the inventors of rock and roll.
What a badass guitarist, can’t believe she is not recognize more. Evan after all these years her music still songs amazing and hit the spot. The true QEEN OF ROCK AND ROLL
This woman was waaay ahead of her time. Self taught, humble & music was her life. Read a book about her called SHOUT, SISTER, SHOUT!!! What an amazing life.
@@robinjohnson8149 Well she learned to play the guitar perfectly by the age of six. So I guess she was the first to give the title to the genre we know as Rock.
This woman was the best man what a talent. This is all her no computer crap pure talent. She was the first inspiration to Elvis. He use to go and see her in Local concerts when he was young and he sat in the back just taking it all in. Thank you Rosetta.
SISTER ROSETTA!!!!! If it wasn't for her, there would be no rock and roll, no Elvis, no Carl Perkins, not MOTOWN, no Beatles no ROlling Stones.........she just didn't travel down and up the MS RIver, she travelled extensively in Britain and influced the later "British Invasion" ......she IS a LEGEND few folks have heard of.... This is the FIRST recording I have ever seen of her that was recorded in LIVING COLOR!
Ridiculous that she's not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame - shoulda been one of the very first legends in there ! On a side note, I saw Willie Dixon in Vancouver BC with the Chicago All-stars in about 1975, I was only 18 & snuck into the club under age. Even though I drank many beers, I never will forget that thrilling night !
Clive Minchin She received a greater honor: Tharpe's 1944 hit "Down By The Riverside" was selected for the American Library of CongressNational Recording Registry in 2004, with the citation stating that it captured her "spirited guitar playing" and "unique vocal style", which were an influence on early rhythm and blues performers, as well as gospel, jazz, and rock artists.
I am pissed that even in rock none of these women are even acknowledged and the men they inspired..... Lookit her go! Godmother of rock n roll.... Big momma Thornton, Bessie Smith, Mahalia Jackson.... No respect
She’s been inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame I’m watching it right now she’s being honored along with Bon Jovi,The Cars ,Dire Straits I didn’t even know about her I’m so sad she has such an Awesome Voice and playing the guitar WOW
Absolutely sublime! I love gospel and blues. She is the epitome of what those genre are all about. She strikes to the very essence of soul and then beyond.
Very talanted ,guitar player and amazing singer, unbelieveable, gorgeous, I found just yesterday her ,and I love her style of playing and singing,she needed more advertisament to be famous ❤
Thanks for. This how GREAT this LADIE was history will tell you but what about when she was. ALIVE shame on you America I would have been so proud if she was from NEW ZEALAND we would have made her a QUEEN 🤴 ❤ you thank you will ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART ❤️ Kiwi fan And l will tell My Grandchildren what injustice means
Thanks I had the good fortune of seeing and jamming with Big Walter (Harp) in the 70s at Blues on Halsted in Chicago It's great to see him with the great Rosetta Tharpe
Sister Rosetta Tharpe , Marie Knight , Roxie Moore ...... had such great gifts of singing , guitar + piano playing , composing songs and bringing these gifts to the world .... they have no equals in ( this) world ... they live on today in spirit and with their songs .....
One of very view, I enjoy hearing in every moment and each situation. Because it is so authentic and so close to the middle of reality. She does not play; she simply gives up all what she has. What a beautiful monument of music.
She's really incredible, this truly great big woman. Towering over everyone else. We should bow, kneel and worship her. I praise the day I discovered her.
Je viens de la découvrir ! Années 60 ...... Comment se fait'il avec un talent pareil ! Rosetta, so gooooood ! Queen Rosetta Et pourtant suis une fan Rock. Blues. Funk. Soul et écoute baucoup de musique Je vais chercher plus loin sur son parcours!
Wow, She is a Angel sent by the Universe to Confuse, BEwilder, & Defy, What is & What Should & Will BE....There should be a Movie made about her life story....& Taught in Black history classes in the education system....on all levels...What a beautiful, talented, innovative, & gifted, woman that doesn't get her recognition in the Music appreciation in our culture....
I'm currently reading "White Bicycles" by Joe Boyd, who was road manager for this European Tour, before he became the man in British music. He gives a fascinating account of the great artists on the tour. Worth reading. And I recently saw Jeff Tweedy of Wilco playing a very similar guitar (Jesus etc, HD-Rave channel). I think it's a rare Gibson Barney Kessel - nice axe.
i dont know why some stupid comes here just to put dislike and leave i do understand that they dont like the song but respect her history record that time she was one of the best singers and that wasnt easy for women
This woman was the mother of rock and roll. Out of her genius, was the inspiration for Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry and so many greats.
Thank you so much for sharing. Sister Rosetta was playing all of Chuck Berry's riffs before he was even born. Meet the real mother of Rock and Roll.
tikabass.
Not entirely true, but when Chuck was around 10 years old. according to "Vings of pegasus" on TH-cam
@@seriksson9721 Rosetta was already playing for crowds at age 8, in 1923, the year Chuck was born.
@@tikabass Yes, but I do not think she was at her peak at a young age. She is said to have accompanied her mother on their performances, but certainly got even better with increasing age and routine.

@@poetrypoetry5732 Yeah.

They were too busy promoting that gutter rat 🐀 ray Charles. Sister was a Christian, the industry does not care for that
My new favorite singer. How spiritual. Perfect gospel. This woman was anointed by our father.
Yeah she was
I hear some Zeppelin in there!
Man she was great and she was the first Queen of Gospel
This woman was waaay ahead of her time. Self taught, humble & music was her life. Read a book about her called SHOUT, SISTER, SHOUT!!! What an amazing life.
I will buy that shout sister shout
made guitar solos before guitar solos were a thing lol, she is awesome
I noticed she used the word "rock" in her songs before Rock & Roll existed.
Yep! All the legends of Rock learned thier craft from her.
@@robinjohnson8149 Well she learned to play the guitar perfectly by the age of six. So I guess she was the first to give the title to the genre we know as Rock.
Yes Indeed
I found her by accident 4 days ago in YT. Never heard of before and I must say she is one of the greatest of singer of all time.
guitarist
I just found her too. Now I can't get enough for obvious reasons.
Me too! Wow, what an amazing talent!
When I was playing in early 60's bands it would have been great to have a singer like her....!
I can't believe I've only just seen this woman. she' is amazing.
Same! Didn't know of her until recently.
i just found out about her 2 days ago...and it was from tic toc....im so embarrassed
the mother of rock !
Grandmother. She was ripping this guitar when Little Richard et al were babies.
Sister Rosetta sang as she loved to. It was a big part of her being. ❤️🌹Glad at 72 I’ve found her. ❤️🌹
She invented rock and roll indeed ✊👑❤️🎼🎶🖤
Розетта она чудо , нет слов выразить восхищение , виртуозна гитара ,вокал. Она хай класс!
You can go to the college, go to the school but if you ain't got religion you're just an educated fool. That's all. Preach it sister!
She gave it all during her performances and it shows. Incredible performance of didn't it rain.
She has a great voice and guitar She is galaxies ahead of most present day "player".
She played piano well too
This woman was the best man what a talent. This is all her no computer crap pure talent. She was the first inspiration to Elvis. He use to go and see her in Local concerts when he was young and he sat in the back just taking it all in. Thank you Rosetta.
She's just unbelievable. The original Godmother of Rock 'n' Roll. RIP Sister Rosetta. Watching from London UK.
WOW! What a performance!
also 50's artists. There are stories of Elvis running home after school to listen to her on the radio. Rock and Roll wouldn't exist without her.

Not the same
She is in there NOW!!!!
But Elvis is reputedly the King of Rock N Roll, how many movies of him documentary etc.
@ Elvis was never the king of Rock and Roll.
Maravilhosa!
The guitarist is Lee Jackson. I saw them all live in Uppsala, Sweden in 1970 I think it was.
Uhm, THE guitarist is Rosetta Tharpe. What the H are you talking about?
Es increible la voz, la musica. Acabo de descubrirlo. Genial.
This song. A wonderful gift to wartime children, faced with so much trauma.
MY ABSOLUTE ICON
What a voice!!!!
BELÉM PARÁ BRASIL.
THE GUITAR WOMAN.
A LENDA. A RAINHA.

This is the real deal. God given passion and FEEL..... That's a big mumma Gibson Barney Kessel model guitar Rosetta's playing...
Wow what a find I read her biography amazing lady. I'd be going to church every day if I was raised with this.
