Dear Heaven Maker:
The year: 1964.
The place: A railway station in Britain.
The star: Sister Rosetta Tharpe
The song: “Didn’t it rain, children”
Here are some comments from people who’ve just watched this video:
- People don’t realize just how important and revolutionary this woman truly was. She was the first person ever to combine rock and roll with gospel, while also being one of the first to use guitar distortion.
- Sister Rosetta Tharpe is God’s angel of music. Anyone who gets to hear her even once is forever blessed.
- She is not playing music; SHE IS MUSIC being played through her. Absolutely magnificent and authentic.
Enjoy,
Martin
