@@Alewifes_Husband Absolutely. I'll add, although it pains me to do it, that Ike Turner also deserves a big chunk of the credit for what came to be known as Rock & Roll. I would say that Sister Rosetta Tharp brought the gospel tradition + guitar, Ike Turner brought the R&B element + guitar and Little Richard brought it all + flamboyance in a way that was so far ahead of his time it's mind-blowing.

There’s no language in my lungs or air in my lungs to even respond to such a Ludacris comment. When you trace music back it goes back to black man blues and Irish music in Ireland. Elvis Presley loved Irish music and bluegrass and black man blues and gospel she gets no credit whatsoever and shouldn’t!

@sparky6086 2 года назад

This was taped towards the end of Sister Tharp's long career. She was big in the 1930's & 1940's, especially in gospel music. Her style might be termed "Proto-Rock", but some might say, that it was Rock. A big innovator on guitar, she influenced many early rockers, including Elvis & Carl Perkins. Rock & Roll and guitar playing are most often thought of as male things, but two of Rock's biggest guitar influences were women. Sister Rosetta Tharp and Mother Maybelle Carter.

@auckalukaum 2 года назад

I think she was one of the first artists to use distortion too, which was the big thing that differentiated rock guitar from blues guitar at that time.

@jamesgalimo1007 2 года назад

@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 A pretty broad range of Jazz and Blues artists. From it's origins in the south through the years, to cities, like Chicago, where new sounds created various offshoots throughout the decades. As far as artists, we covered quite a few Bessie Smith, Ella Fitzgerald, Dave Brubeck, Dizzy Gillespie, Benny Goodman, Louis Armstrong, Weather Report, Jaco Pastorius, lots of others, but those are the ones I remember offhand, because they were my favorites. I guess there was only so much time in class, he couldn't really cover everybody.

What I like about RU-vid is discovering performers I haven't heard before but shaped music.

@salishseaartsfoundation 2 года назад

I never think of her as the female B.B. King or any other electric blues player. To me she's the female Sister Rosetta Tharp. Of course I'm trying to be a bit humorous, but when we explore her entire career we see how unique among guitarist and blues and gospel singers she was. No way will I diminish the importance of Blues Boy King. He's as unique in his own playing and singing!

@salishseaartsfoundation 2 года назад

@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 She may not appear as a jazz player at first glance, but jazz and the blues, and in Sister's case gospel, all descend from the same ancestor. As someone with a formal background in jazz I think any other jazz musician has a deep respect for the blues. R&B and gospel. I wouldn't expect a semester long overview of jazz to include Sister Rosetta Tharp but a decent look at jazz would always have a discussion about the importance of it's closely related forms of American music. I'm writing this with all due respect

I asked you to react to this when you saw Chuck Berry. He said that she was his guitar hero and I think that you can hear it. This was recorded live, in the rain at a railway station in England during a tour. So many guitarists list her as one of their influences and yet she seems to have been largely forgotten or ignored, which is a shame because, as you saw, she was fire.

She was touring Europe. There had been a blues revival in America form the late 50s but it was the preserve of folk musicians and music antiquarians. In Britain and around Europe, there was a huge blues revival that was much broader. Rosetta Tharpe, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, T-Bone Walker, John Lee Hooker etc. came over, toured clubs, recorded albums etc. Bands like the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Yardbirds, Them (Van Morrison), Cream etc. idolised these guys. Guys who’d retired in the 1940s as jazz and crooners took over from blues came out of retirement and made some decent money at last.

@ErnieB 2 года назад

Sadly, it was because the Jim Crow laws kept these artists from being able to perform in so many places. Even Sammy Davis Jr was turned away from a casino, when he was supposed to perform with the rest of the Rat Pack. Sinatra told the club owner, "If he doesn't come in, we don't come in." So no surprise that many black, Jazz and Blues artists couldn't get work.

Absolutely 1964-- firstly, that axe she was pickin' on was a 1963 Gibson SG Custom 3-humbucker **MONSTER** with all the knobs, switches, bells, & whistles that Gibson could pack in-- And why were American blues artists suddenly on British radar? Because The Beatles had listed them as influences! As for video quality, the Brits were a tad behind in their 'mobile' video recording technology-- although color cameras were available in 1961, they were too bulky & cumbersome to lug about; but B&W cameras were getting smaller, and could be used for mobile recording [this was done at a train station, in case you couldn't tell!!] -- Blessed Be, & Peace!!

"Chorltonville" was a fictitious name (though it was near Chorlton) invented by Granada TV in creating a supposedly US western station. The station was actually Wilbraham Rd station.

Like many pre 60s black US artists, Rosetta was appreciated in the UK and Europe more than in her home country.

Mashed the LIKE button as soon as I saw who you were reacting to! I am so glad you listened to Sister Rosetta! She is the true Mother of Rock n' Roll & a national treasure! Without Sister Rosetta, there wouldn't be an Elvis, a Chuck Berry, a Buddy Holly, The Beatles or ANY of the folks we think of as Rock Legends. Sister Rosetta was THE QUEEN!!! Y'all picked a good song to start with - I'd also suggest "This Train", "Strange Things Happening Everyday", "Rock Me" , "Down By The Riverside", "Up Above My Head", "Old Time Religion" and, as a member of the Who Dat Nation myself, I am particularly fond of her version of "When the Saints Go Marchin' In". She will take you to church!

The early birth of Rock and Roll with this mixture of Gospel and Blues and with a talent so huge music owes her so much.

@anxofernandez3344 2 года назад

She was already popular in the late 40s and early 50s. She's one of the greats of Jazz, Blues and Rhythm and Blues and some consider her one of the originators of Rock & Roll. She actually said that Rock was just R&B played faster

She flew to the UK and performed at the train station. She rocked the crap out of the place! She use to sing gospel in the churches, but she got to the big city and started singing in the clubs and it really upset her family! She still wouldn’t give it up! She loved rock!

1964. Early Beatles on TV were black & white at the same time. Mid-60s more shows in color started. In the ‘70s new shows were in color. Sister Rosetta was famous for her voice, personality, adventures, and of course for taking her electric guitar to church with her. She’s obviously American, but I bought one of her records when I was in Scotland because they weren’t easy to find in Texas. She’s in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.

The Rock n' Roll HOF has a "section" of inductees called Early Influences. Sister Rosetta Tharpe was inducted into that section in 2020. Why it took so long to do so is still a mystery, but I am glad she is in.

Serious roots-of-rock performance here! She was a major performer in the 30s and 40s, and obviously still active in the 60s. And she influenced a lot of musicians who came afterwards.
