Sister Rosetta Tharpe was a self-taught musical virtuoso. She was one of the architects of Rock & Roll bringing the sound to life in the 40"s. This was before Elvis stole Big Mamma Thorton's "You Ain't Nothing But A Hound Dog". She was doing pinwheels on stage before Chuck Berry and has a flamboyant stage presence that Little Richard and Elton John copied.
@erjones5 i think i know what you are asking and i think the answer is yes.... she does play guitar, at least ive seen it in videos. the extent to which she could play in the forties, im not sure.
This woman is one of the greatest artists of ALL TIME ! That she is largely forgotten is a disgrace.
