Sister Rosetta Tharpe was a neighbor of ours many years ago. As a child, I remember walking by her home on Master Street, careful not to make any noise, because we were told, a holy woman lived there. GOD bless you, for posting these gems from the past! She too, influenced my love for Christ. These are fond memories, no matter how difficult this walk is. Thank you.
@blessedover - hi, do you know where I can get the lyrics to this song? I've been trying for a while to get the lyrics from the internet, but i'm having no luck.
@Darneloh - you can say THAT again. I never heard of this song until yesterday (I know.. long over due). I'm pretty young, and just heard Shirley Caesar's version too, and I MUST say, I LOVE this version and doubt I'll hear a better one. I gotta learn this song, and maybe sing this version at church.

@DisappointedDemocrat Thanks for sharing these memories. Was this in Philly? She is buried in Philly, until recently in an unmarked grave.
