To be fair it would be more accurate to say that Chuck rocks like Rosetta!
Chuck said so himself
Well, as she was already active, in music, before he was even 12, I'd have to agree with you! 🤔
It wouldn't be fair as Chuck Berry was a quite superior guitarist to Rosetta Tharpe
@@FenceThis Comparisons are odious, but I would say that both had their limitations but rocked like crazy! Chuck was a great songwriter too.
Paul Money He was a splendid song writer for sure. I agree that he likely adopted some of Tharpes stylistic traits and sound, but while Tharpe's playing was an enticing mix up of comping, riffing and rhythm she wasn't really a soloist as such,which is one the reasons that I have to reject the idea of her being the "Godmother of Rock'n Roll" as so often regurgitated. I think Berry's playing presented that aspect just fine !
Folks, a Black Lady Playing an Electric Guitar back in the Late Thirties was Unheard of, Rosetta Tharpe was a True Pioneer in the Music Business, it Took Over 60 years for Her to Receive Her Just Reward so She Had to See it From Heaven--Blues Hall of Fame-2018 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame--God is Now Enjoying Her Music....
randy beard This video is from the early 60’s.
She was active in the late 30's!
@@scottbaxendale323 she was active in the 30's if u dont believe it just do your research for yourself. A lot of people dont believe history but there own history
You're forgetting Margie Cheeks
You hit that on the head and unfortunately Elvis would have to be alive to verify
WOW! Been rockin' & rollin' since I was 7 (1964) but never heard Rosetta 'till today 6-23-20. What a shame that she's been left out of so much music history over the decades.
Never heard of this Talented Lady until now, at 72. ❤️🌹
That begins to change right now!!
Welp, she's in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame now.
WOW friend... I played this for my coworkers today, 25-55 yrs old... They Lived Her!
The Wright Brothers showed the world that man could fly . Sister Rosetta Tharpe... showed us another kind of flight .... a fight of the SPIRIT ..... Thank you Sister .... for your Inspiration, Strength and Hope ...
Perfect poetry.
She was making records for what 20 years before Chuck Berry ?
she was out setting stages on fire while chuck was playing catch with his cell mate in during one[of three] of his prison stays
Yep.
She was active, musically, in the 1930's!!
Chuck was around 12 years old!! 😲
Ok, love Sister Rosetta Tharpe but....who is Marjorie Cheeks and how can I not see the angel wings on her back? She can play for real!
Love Sister Rosetta's tone,distorted compressed,She played so well with great technical ability. I Worked on the same bill with the Five Blind Boys ,back in the nineties,at the Pittsburgh Blues Festival.They where the most energetic act there.Lead singer was pogo dancing up the up the main aisle.He looked to be about eighty.
Yeah??? Me too. General Lee and Frank n Jesse James were there
Sister rosette Tharp, the God mother of rock and roll as we know it. This lady was talented to say the least. I absolutely get spiritually lifted when I hear her sing and play.
Well i guess we all know where rock and roll came from... heres the proff..
Elvis and Johnny Cash both stated she was a HUGE influence and remember Elvis never claimed he started R&R but he was the BIG BANG which opened the flood gates for everybody black and white and Fats Domino stated this as did Little Richard and Chuck Berry. This lady deserves a LOT of credit and hopefully she will eventually get the credit she deserves
@@williamrauhuff2341 What?? Elvis basically stole and copied this ladies 's craft for what is today Rock-'n'-roll.
@@williamrauhuff2341 She was far more than an influence. SHE paved the way and THEY emulated her style. Every artist you mentioned watched her and found fame after she crossed over from gospel. SHE WAS THE
'BIG BANG.'. The church welcomed her back and she broke the ice making the style of playing culturally acceptable. I'm including a link to a documentary celebrating the Queen. Enjoy!

The preacher's wife is having a great time & it's fun to watch. She needed to be on stage with Jerry Lee Lewis having a piano good time playoff!
ROSSETTA IS MAMA ROCK
ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? SISTER PIANO MASTER HONESTLY I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYBODY PLAY LIKE THAT!! PLAY ON IN JESUS NAME
Who is she?
@@catdaddy3302 i honestly don't know
Margie Cheeks with her husband the Reverend Julius Cheeks
How could 35 people not like this? Heathens... At 4:15 she just kills it. The true inventor of Rock n Roll.
"Ain't Gonna Study War No More"...wish we all could do that.
Then wait until Jesus returns. Just before He puts and end to all war He will slaughter all the enemies that will be coming against Israel in Armageddon. It says that when Jesus is done swinging His sword the blood of the enemies will be like a stream as high as a horses bridle for about 188 miles. Revelation 14:20. That's when there will be war no more! Until then? We need to remain strong in studying war to make the enemy find its just not worth it for them.
What ? No more Carl von Clausewitz ?
Good lawd, Sister Rosetta was rockin' that guitar, and that other sister was rockin' that piano like it was nobody's business.
Blues + Gospel + Soul with an attitude played by one seriously bad ass black woman = Rock and Roll. I would have gone to church every Sunday if she was playing.
This ain't rock and roll. This is worship and praise which spits on the bastard creation which is rock and roll.
@@kelvyquayo Wrong...
Its gospel.
Nobody spat on the creation of Rock n Roll...
Rock n Roll was the greatest genre of music ever.
However Sister Rosetta Tharpe was one helluva blues gospel singer & guitarist.
She was just awesome...
@@kelvyquayo Medication time, medication time! 💊 😂
Sister rosetta and the blind boys are the "ducks guts" the "cats pyjamas" and the "bees knees" rolled in to one!
This was the way it was every Sunday at the Pentecostal Church of God in East St Louis Illinois. We were black and white together and we loved one another. I was 8 years old and God lived in all our hearts especially the heart of Brother Geralds, our Preacher.
If my church rocked like this, I probably would have gone to church much more. I know the music isn’t the point of church, but it makes the message more receptive.
But music *should* be the point of church… it is praise, it is communion, it is feeling and sharing the Spirit, soulful expression with fellowship.
I'm a white atheist woman and I love old black gospel music. It's just pure, raw emotion. Those musicians put it all out there with every song. I would love to go back in time with my guitar and jam with Sister Rosetta Tharpe just for 10 minutes.
Beautiful black people fervent in their belief. This is all they had.
Black sisters and brothers have music in their blood..... Thank u x show us the way to overcome all the problems and face life with a smile on your face...
the greatest female guitar player better than many male so called players
This Aint In None Of Our History Books...
Nothing else to do with Jesus is in our history books either.
Came for the laxatives, stayed for the guitar
You funny. Wish I thought of that.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Baddest Piano player ever
She's really, really amazing!
Blind boys Rosetta and Margie and them
Smashed it
OMG! I used to go to a church in South Down Town Los Angeles, that had a choir that sang these Hymns! ('Too Close To Heaven', and 'Down By The Riverside') People, Black and White would get up & start clapping their hands. Those were the Best days of my life!! But, of course, they weren't as good as this! God Rest Your Beautiful Soul, Sister Tharpe!! "God Mother of Rock and Roll'!!!
Her image should be on American coinage. She tears it up!
She was on a postage stamp!
She herself said she loved God and was a gospel artist but the spirit moved her to rev it up.
That was one piano workout!
Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Marie Knight, Roxie Moore, Roberta Martin , Arizona Dranes...... their lives are a Testament......
Still sharing your Experience + Strength & Hope ....
Sister Rosetta Tharpe....... after all these years ....❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
She just absolutely kicks ass every single time...God Bless Her Wonderful Soul.
I remember this sweet lady urging people to tune in to hear "Your most 'favorable' Gospel music," way back in the day. From Chicago, if I can recollect my memory.
in the beginning, Sister Rosetta Tharpe created music ...
Very uplifting and welcome in these times
Sang Rosetta!!!!!!!!!! And play that guitar!!!
Blind Boys of Alabama are as amazing as Rosetta Tharpe. I will research more things about the black music in the 30s of North America.
God bless you, sir. Thank you for saying. Hope you enjoy our music very much.
I think I read in a billing for her concerts a long time ago Arizona Dranes used to play the piano with her elbows, too.
You're all right kinda. Rosetta was playing in the 30s sans electric guitar. The Gibson SG from this clip in 1963 is a newer production. Seeing any lady, black or white with an electric guitar prior to this and at this time was novelty and we should be thankful someone preserved it. Rosetta had a style all her own and definitely copied by male players. Enjoy 😊
The original soul sister.
Some pianoplayer, who's she??
Reverend's wife
a great homegrown american treasure
I always thought Chuck Berry was the first guitar hero. I been wrong all these years.🙂
It's a 110 it's a 110 in the shade 😎 way down mama won't you lay me down look up that John Fogarty song
absolutely amazing!
No, Chuck Berry rocked out like HER.
Thank God for these guys and sister Ruth they made my day having a tough day I needed that one that was great
I wonder where her 61’ Les Paul Custom is now? It should be at least as valuable as Blackie!
@4:13 she gave birth to rock and roll.
Black Americans have always and will always have talent. Praise God for the blessings and how it was used and viewed.
Try saying "Americans have always and will always have talent" instead. The racist hate-filed Obama era is OVER.
ALL Lives Matter. The Trump era is the era of UNITY.
p m
Why dont you try respecting the god given talents of Black americans as just that....THE GOD GIVEN TALENT OF BLACK AMERICANS.
try saying you are a foolish jerk and a real deluded bigot. And watch out for your fuehrer, if you don't dance to his tune you will be fired
sun rah 44 - You are a racist. Plain and simple. You hate and you lack the intellectual ability to rise above your hatefulness. You need to learn proper AMERICAN behavior. You need to apologies for your disgraceful words. Do it. Do as you're told.
p m
I can't be racist. I don't have the systemic power to deprive people of a place to live, a quality education, a job, justice , a home loan, human rights or the right to vote . I also don't enjoy the privalege of murdering people who dont look like me and not be punished.
Can i be biased? Yes.
Cani be racist? No. That is a right enjoyed by white people only.
Yes!! Make that money and promote them laxatives girl!! 😂😂❤❤👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 just started listening to her yesterday and now I'm a fan ❤❤❤❤❤
Dang, those dudes were cool before cool existed.
This touches my heart and soul Rosetta also the 5 Blind Boys of Alabama what a joyous time legend
Suddenly I am compelled to get some Fenamint.......
Wow! Ces voix sublimes qui sortent directement du cœur !🤩✌️💖🎶
The pianist killed it tho...wow to both ladies...my goodness
Bad description! She don't rock out like chuck berry..... berry could never play like Sister!
This Godly lady played the same kind of guitar as Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath . ( Gibson SG)
more like chuck berry was like her
She was 20 years ahead of him😊
Great stuff...thanks or keeping this kind of history alive
It's amazingly good. I am just sorry that I couldn't reincarnate in a black american body of the 30s to join this party.
Impresionante Rosseta, antes de los creadores del Rock And Roll,
She was a creator of Rock n Roll.
IM VERY THANKFUL FORSEEIN THIS FILM I WAS YOUNG WHEN SISTER ROSE WAS PLAYIN AND SINGING HOLY GHOST SONGS. THE CHURCH NEED TO GET BACK TO SONGS THAT REPRESENT THE GOD IN CHRIST CHURCHES
.THEY HAVE STRAYED AWAY FROM HOLINESS..MS JUDY JEFFERSON..COGIC..
That pianist at the end got up, removed the bench and started playing the piano with her elbows! WOW!
Holy shit, from the first note those Blind Boys.
Imagine being a black woman in these times and being so amazingly talented... Wow, we need to celebrate this absolute legend.
LET THE SISTA TESTIFY!
I know that she is mostly known for her white Gibson SG, but she also played a big white Gretsch 6120.
If James Brown is the Godfather then Doña Rosetta Tharpe is the Godmother by far.
The Sister invented Rock n Roll Guitar at least 10 years before Chuck Berry. So glad she is finally recognised :)
Meu Deus! Que vozes são estas? Simplesmente não existem, nem existirão mais! 😳😳😳😳

Beautiful beautiful beautiful 👏👏👏🇧🇷
Wow, I have never seen a woman in the 60s play the guitar like that! I had only ever heard her name.
So electrifying she was on stage with her gospel band behind her, the first to pushed pop music into mainstream.
Thanks for posting this! By the way, that guitar was not officially an SG. Hers was a 1961 Les Paul Custom, the first year of that design. Gibson had created the design with a thinner body, skinnier neck, and more access to the higher threats, making a much lighter guitar, and also cheaper to make. They put Les Paul's name on it although he had nothing to do with the design. He asked for his name to be taken off it, so by the 1963 production year they renamed the guitar the SG for Solid Guitar. Some of the Customs that year were still called Les Paul Customs, but most were the renamed SG Custom. Paul still advertised the guitar and there are a number of ads and publicity photos of him with it. Sadly, no one knows for sure what happened to Tharpe's own guitar.
Do you know if Gibson released some SG's with Les Paul's name in the late 60's or early 70's? A friend had one which was purchased in Sydney Australia early 70's. (It's in the video Band of Light - Destiny Song live)
Not that I know of. Did he buy it new? Could have been one of the ones made during the early 60's. Pretty sure from '64 on there was no Les Paul name. However, since he was in Australia, could it have been something from Fender Japan? They often have had completely different releases over there.
Thanks, I'll find out more. One thing though he always corrected me if I called it an SG and said it's a "Les Paul". Sadly the guitar disappeared around about the same time as Norm's music career disappeared. Also I suspect there may have been some funny goings on with Gibsons aimed at the export market, same with Fender, but maybe I'm just being paranoid!
You can see the Les paul Signature on the plastic bit between the neck and pickup, when they do a closeup. There were quite a few of them released.
Paul Hogue Duane Allman's favorite. My cousin had one. He sold it for $300 in the 70s. Drugs are bad.
I had the same experience with the holy spirit, Amen, the holy trinity rocks as well, these where and still are the foundation of Gospel
Jubilant gospel enlightenment on high...holly train powering by..singers confident loud..instrumentalist timing ring true .these professionals play with devotion to CREATOR & Church Family love sounds supreme..thank you very much for posting!! Appreciated
jeez......what an angel ! .........and great tones from that old SG Custom guitar. Go Sister ......God bless her !
Rainha do blues👏👏👏👏👏👏👍🙏🇺🇸.
I'm a lifelong Atheist, but I can still appreciate the pure JOY derived from singing with your friends, irrespective of the subject matter!! 😍
As an atheist, I TOTALLY get your point I've been listening Rosetta's music all day and her passion is out of this world. Such a great talent!!!
I like the Devils music..
Thank You
