Sister Rosetta Tharpe: Didn’t It Rain
I have expressed the opinion before that Sister Rosetta invented rock and roll. She was a powerful, moving gospel singer that played guitar licks back in the 30s that Chuck Berry would later crib. Here she is on the English television show, “Blues and Gospel Train” in 1964. The set is an actual train station platform.

That railway station is in Manchester (UK). It hasn’t stopped raining there since the film was made!
Oh my she was simply fantastic!! and, this is the very first time that I have ever heard her sing.
Thank you so much:)
