She was there before Chuck Berry, Muddy, JLH, Elvis, Little Richard, Johhny Cash, and she influenced them all ..she played an SG Gibson before all the legends...she is the queen of Rock n roll. ❤
What did Little Richard and Chuck Berry have to do with the start of Rock N Roll? You'd be better off mentioning Bill Haley and his band, but of course, they were white...
She had a one-on-one personal relationship with Jesus and proudly, powerfully proclaimed it to the world. Didn't have a "holier-than-thou" bone in her body. Yes, she's in Paradise but do you really think she's resting?
" At the time, White musicians profited from this "race music" without crediting Black songwriters, who often received scant if any royalties from this theft. Thorton got $500 for "Hound Dog," the song that branded Elvis as Elvis. White bands like the Rolling Stones commodified blues without acknowledging Black composers. "
*Who would have thought, "sister" is, without a doubt, creator and guitarist, first and most important among all those who brought the wonder that is rock.n roll!*
Sister Tharpe was very popular back then and was one of two gospel artists that recorded songs on the military's Victory label that were broadcasted to US military personnel during WW2. The band in this clip accompanied her in all of those recordings. The band also recorded several for the Victory label.
Freedmen/Foundation Black Americans was rocky and rollin putting the rap lyrics on this song, back in my great grandparents and great grand relatives days it was called Jive Talking, then it became FBA’s creation of Hip Hop, rapping. Much love and respect to our Freedmen/Foundation Black Americans Queen Mother Ms. Rosetta Tharpe thank you ancestor for your creation of Rock & Roll, Rest In Peace !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Incredible musician and performer.. The one and only godmother of soul..no doubt abouth that! Breaking records and boundries...this is what rock n roll and soulmusic is abouth..music from the heart
Love the footage. If you could upload more, and consider looking into AI footage restoration programs, you could have a lot of really good content on your hands. I predict that soon there will be a push to resurrect Rosetta Tharpe's music and legacy. Please help push her back into the mainstream.
The contribution of black Americans to American culture is immense. No other group of people have contributed as much to this land. Yet, they got th le short end of the stick for the longest. But maybe, that adversity is what gave us the strength and creativity to make such an impact.
Now listen everybody to the precious words I'm gonna do some chirping And I ain't no bird There's a reason for living A reason for dying A darned good reason why a woman starts crying A reason for a mole, a reason for a dimple But there ain't no reason why a man's so simple But the day you quit me brother That's the day you lose your life But there ain't no reason Why a man can't swing Well fill me full o' rhythm Can you understand that ......Simple man........... "Live simply so that others may simply live"
Yes ! What a voice, what a way to swing a song, and what a Godly anointing- Sis. Rosetta was mighty gifted. If somebody can't see that, whose problem is it?
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼💪🏽 A wonderful song, a shiny singer, and as a sister I shout: yellow, red, black and white humans don’t exist! That is for me racism - maybe positive rasicm who says I am proud to be black... but for me stupid behaviour for something what doesnˋt exist!
I've always loved Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Lucky Millinder and his Orchestra. Alas, it's so unfortunate that they all had to dress like sharecroppers for this film-short; let alone for any other reason. I guess the producers just had to do it. I guess they (the producers) just couldn't get that stupid, romantic idea of "Colored sharecroppers, who happen to be great musicians" out of their tiny, little minds.
"In the majority of cases, it turns out most Black songwriters of those eras barely made a dime off of their creative work, while the white musicians found radio airtime, fame, money, and notoriety for generations using the exact same song. Many Black creators died penniless and nameless, without any credit for the music they brought to the world."
"guess you guys ain't ready for that yet but your kids are gonna love it"
She was there before Chuck Berry, Muddy, JLH, Elvis, Little Richard, Johhny Cash, and she influenced them all ..she played an SG Gibson before all the legends...she is the queen of Rock n roll. ❤
We wouldn't have had rock n roll without her. She inspired Lil Richard and Chuck Berry. She truly is the architect of rock n roll.
There had been rock'n roll anyway
What did Little Richard and Chuck Berry have to do with the start of Rock N Roll? You'd be better off mentioning Bill Haley and his band, but of course, they were white...
AND HENDRIX
I'm glad people like you recognize thanks for keeping my spirit up for humanity
@@ZeusTheTornado Are you deaf?
Rest In Paradise, Queen Rosetta 👑........👊🏾🔥🏹🎯💯💯💯💯💯👍🏾
She had a one-on-one personal relationship with Jesus and proudly, powerfully proclaimed it to the world. Didn't have a "holier-than-thou" bone in her body. Yes, she's in Paradise but do you really think she's resting?
If you look up the word "joy" you will see a picture of Sister Rosetta!
She led an amazing colourful life, and laid the foundations for rock and roll.

Great voice, and very influential on the beginning of Rock n Roll.
Great singer. I'd love to hear how she was playing guitar in the 40s.
You heard life? Or on vinyl? Tv?

Great singer n Great guitar player
When music was music. You had to have real talent to make it back then. This ensemble is amazing. Best I've ever heard.
The term Rock and Roll came from her playing, she knew what she was doing on the stage
A Great Performance, lovely voice, wonderful text, and for me... funny weird looking.. but she had style and grace on stage!

Who’s there after movie death on the nile.

Death of the Nile. Got me here
The true Queen
💜🤘🏿🤘🏿💜
Now listen everybody to the precious words
I'm gonna do some chirping
And I ain't no bird
There's a reason for living
A reason for dying
A darned good reason why a woman starts crying
A reason for a mole, a reason for a dimple
But there ain't no reason why a man's so simple
But the day you quit me brother
That's the day you lose your life
But there ain't no reason
Why a man can't swing
Well fill me full o' rhythm
Can you understand that
......Simple man...........
"Live simply so that others may simply live"
Who's here after watching murder on River Nile.
Me tonight love it
Other way around! I watched after hearing her music was in the movie!
👏👏👏👏👏👏🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱

Hercule Poirot🤙

wdfff....
Yes ! What a voice, what a way to swing a song, and what a Godly anointing- Sis. Rosetta was mighty gifted. If somebody can't see that, whose problem is it?
0:26 anyone knows why she hits him? she does it and she tries to cover it up with the waving haha
0:32 Lol Tyler the creator looking awkward. Probably his first tv appearance
De la bombe

Repose en paix
Guys If you wanna listen this killer song version of after 16 years, play it faster X 1.25
How did you get this it’s 100 years old
I know I was thinking the same thing this has to be in the forties or thirties.
What's she doing with Ted Nugent's guitar?
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼💪🏽 A wonderful song, a shiny singer, and as a sister I shout: yellow, red, black and white humans don’t exist! That is for me racism - maybe positive rasicm who says I am proud to be black... but for me stupid behaviour for something what doesnˋt exist!
Our differences just make us all more interesting, but I remember the Chinese saying "Tien Sha Wei Gong"- All People Under Heaven Are One".
SOLI DEO GLORIA
Chi qui per assassinio sul Nilo? 😂

I was born in the wrong time.
This is also rap.
Yeah alot of people don't know what rap stands for.
She gave black people ther well desetved dignety back

All these people are dead
Why every body smiling on this video?
How dare they?
