Chuck Berry said his main influence was Rosetta Tharpe. She invented rock n roll and I also believe electric blues, because artists like Muddy Waters and Buddy Guy took influence from her too.
Thank you for putting Rosetta music back for us to hear. She belongs in the hall of fame. Especially since she was the influence to all who are in the hall of fame. The was the originator of this style Rockabilly,
Of course. Black people invented everything, white people are masters of stealing, killing, and lynching. History shows this . Columbus discovered America, so the natives and black indigenous who were already there just watched? 🤣🤦🏿♀️
I'm 49 yrs old and i am now just finding out who she is,she belongs in the Rock n Roll. Hall Of Fame, and is very underrated, had alot of soul whene she sang
@@duanesealy3592 Chuck Berry said she was the first person he ever heard play rock'n'roll. Elvis used to run home from school to listen to her on the radio... Little Richard said she inspired him to perform... Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash spoke of her influence on them - as did Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and quite a few more. You can be a rock legend without being a rock singer....
Sad thing is she wasn't given much publicity. I think we all know why. Yet she rocked that guitar and was a servant of the Lord. Thank God literally the hall of shame finally inducted her. Only 58 when she passed. She would have been 98 when finally inducted. Wikipedia has her born in 1915 with other sources stating 1920. really makes no difference other than she left us all too soon.
I love everything I've seen about this lady. She is not only superbly talented, overflowing with music, but she is just so pretty. She has the prettiest profile. She moves my soul. Every time I hear her she moves my soul. I thank you Sister for moving my soul in just the right way when it is calling to be moved.
Wow this is a master at work. So effortless. Absolutely amazing performance. My new favourite singer ever. If you've not heard Sister Rosetta you haven't lived!
Such beauty, grace, the love of God and extreme talent! She amazes me with her guitar, soulful songs and the love of the Lord! Too awesome for words! Without out a doubt a legend! My sister and I love her like crazy!
Honestly one of the best and purest voices in music...and she could play guitar as well as any of her contemporaries....maybe better! If only she upped her amp volume! Lol!
you see only one Rosetta Tharpe once in life ,her singing ,the melody that comes out from the her was the new rock and blues from the 50 and with the "unseen hero guitar" the Gibson SG
Sublime - I think we need to change Bob Seger's infamous lyric - "Well all Chuck's children are out there playing his licks" Clearly Chuck was playing hers and T-bones
Yea sister! I love it: I love it because I have a soul, and I love real soul: And sister you have that soul!! You’re a true troubadour, I wish I knew you in this life. Your music makes me jump for joy, and love the Lord more than I thought I ever could.:
Why pick on the Beatles, why not Rolling Stones. The Beatles injected a very heavy dose of their 'Englishness' in their music especially in their middle/later period while the RS were overwhelmingly blues-based throughout. ;)
She was playing these songs in the swing era 1949. She is the monarch of Rock and Roll, by combining swing, jazz, blues long before Berry, Elvis, Lewis...all of them She created the sound and the feel, of American music, American soul, and will always be an important chapter in American exceptionalism.
Watching her very moves and presence I'd swear she could have tamed a Hurricane with her right pinky. Rendering it a sweet kitten running after a spool of thread. And, boy, with her blaze of solos it was a good thing her guitar was cast of steel. Thankyou for that fine moment in time. 🌻
This is DEFINITELY the inspiration for King X's song of the same name. I hope Dug Pinnick gave his respects to her when he wrote and recorded his song. WHY have people grown away from this music? Don't just listen to the devil, listen to the other side!!!
@@duanesealy3592 she was a gospel singer but generally considered to be the founder/creator of rock and roll cause a lot of her techniques really inspired famous tock musicans also the fact she very rock like riffs as seen in this she was doing years before anyone else
I've been tempted to go to a black baptist church for the music. I am an atheist, but that shit looks awesome. I was too much of a pussy to go, but I even had a pamphlet listing location, dates and times. Guess it's not too late.
Chris Johnson whaaa you can just go? dooo it. i just went back to my old church a couple days ago actually, after 10 years.. nothin like that holy spirit vibe dude.
I'd feel weird being the only white person and I would be woefully under dressed. Shouldn't feel weird, obviously the congregation would like to see more people show up. I am anti-religion(not the people themselves, but it leads to a lot of trouble and it has way too much influence in our government), but the music and the feeling of being a part of a happy, ecstatic, energetic crowd. Not saying I won't ever go, I'd still like to, and I am not worried about looking out of place anymore, those days are over with.
@@ChrisJohnson-xm4bu many people go without the traditional "look". You'd definitely be welcomed. It's more about your soul than the way you look. Heck, I'm a black woman and have been living in a predominately white neighborhood all my life. I got used to being the odd looking one when I go out to various places a long time ago. Eventually, you don't care. Gotta live your life. They'll adjust.

The real founder of rock n roll. She came first and she deserves credit.
Chuck Berry said his main influence was Rosetta Tharpe. She invented rock n roll and I also believe electric blues, because artists like Muddy Waters and Buddy Guy took influence from her too.
Thank you for putting Rosetta music back for us to hear. She belongs in the hall of fame. Especially since she was the influence to all who are in the hall of fame. The was the originator of this style Rockabilly,
She was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2018
Never Ever...I mean EVER...be another one like her...God Bless Sister Rosetta 🙏
I just truly am so happy god gave us this spiritual woman ALLELUIA!!
She lays into that SG like a warrior. I declare her the inventor of rock and roll if not simply rock guitar. She predates all the “inventors”
i love, love guitarists who strap it not to the body but to the far end of the neck. it's just better that way!!
That’s very TRUE,
tita-4ewaz Yes, she pre-dates every single electric guitarist. Every one. I believe that included Les Paul. I believe he was also influenced by her.
Thats true
Of course. Black people invented everything, white people are masters of stealing, killing, and lynching. History shows this .
Columbus discovered America, so the natives and black indigenous who were already there just watched? 🤣🤦🏿♀️
She truly has the Holy Spirit in her. She's a servant of the Lord!
Nah, Sister was a simply a brilliant rock and roll musician and was copied by male rock and rollers
I'm 49 yrs old and i am now just finding out who she is,she belongs in the Rock n Roll. Hall Of Fame, and is very underrated, had alot of soul whene she sang
She was inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame in 2018.
Before Elvis, there was the rock legend! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
She wasn't a rock singer she was a gospel singer

Correct, we are presently listening to her.
Sad thing is she wasn't given much publicity. I think we all know why. Yet she rocked that guitar and was a servant of the Lord. Thank God literally the hall of shame finally inducted her.

Can anybody believe how good this is??...Just crazy...🤩
She repeats the same verse over and over and never it gets boring.Who would get bored with such a powerful voice and great rhythm??
I love everything I've seen about this lady. She is not only superbly talented, overflowing with music, but she is just so pretty. She has the prettiest profile. She moves my soul. Every time I hear her she moves my soul. I thank you Sister for moving my soul in just the right way when it is calling to be moved.
patsie lee Amen, she’s a real inspiration!
That’s called THE ANOINTING. The Holy Spirit called her to the ministry in music. What you are sensing is the Holy Spirit moving through her.
Listening heals my soul ❤️
@@jacquelinebedway8138 mine too. Best medicine is music.🎶
She got me crying she created rock and is singing with the angels god has her now !
She was one of a kind and aren't we lucky to be able to enjoy these videos.
@@fifermcgee5971 yes we are definitely blessed with the technology we now have.🎶😊

Her voice just goes through me. Wow. This is a spiritual experience for me

What a sad world indeed it would be without music.
She played rock'n'roll before the beatles were even been born
Black
Americans created Rock & Roll
Beatles covered Isley brothers Chuck Berry little Richard and the supremes and you call that Rock&Roll?
Before everyone, I'd add...
Why pick on the Beatles, why not Rolling Stones.
The Beatles injected a very heavy dose of their 'Englishness' in their music especially in their middle/later period while the RS were overwhelmingly blues-based throughout. ;)

Pinnick is a(nother) musical genius. He soars.
That guitar solo...come on!
ON sent qu’elle a une base de gospel,mais elle est trop excellente en tout(blues,rock,gospel)qu’elle est complète.❤️🎶🎶🎶
That girl is mmm wow she got a high voice God bless
wow never knew she invented Rock n Roll... God Bless
She used secular music into gospel music she was a gospel singer
@@duanesealy3592 she was a gospel singer but generally considered to be the founder/creator of rock and roll cause a lot of her techniques really inspired famous tock musicans also the fact she very rock like riffs as seen in this she was doing years before anyone else
Seriously, NOBODY held that space but her.
Makes me want to go to church... almost 😊
