  • Talent like this existed especially back then. It's today's "talents" that I'm worried about. Rarely ever anybody comes even close. About the "rap" - it's gospel, nothing unusual. Modern rap has roots in songs like this.

  • Wow Early Rap Music :)

  • Man oh man-what a voice-what a guitar picker! How many women play like that today let alone the 30's and 40's. Sister, sister we sure do miss ya!

  • @49jubilee Sister Roseta actually inspired Elvis Presley & Johnny Cash, just to name a few !

  • its funny, although i knew rock and roll had a GOSPEL SOUNDING BEGINNING, i didnt know who started it---also there is NO BLACK WOMAN TODAY that plays the ELECTRIC GUITAR---(she sounds like ELVIS a little) an modern rap is DISCO just like i thought since rap has been around a LONG TIME

  • @deek77 yes it did, amazing ha:) sista rosseta tharpe is a trully blessed and powerfull legend

  • @fairalways you are most welcome , long as i get an invite back to your synagogue , best voice i ever heard sang at my friends funeral at his synagogue , god spreads the talent far and wide my friend .

  • @deek77 makes me laugh today youngun's a thinkin they be breakin new ground when all the ground been already broke long and long ago...can't make new blues - can only recognise the blues has always been, is always still and will ever be...the blues didn't just have one baby - she had the whole dang family...the blues is the mother of all...amen

  • wow our predecessors!!!
