When singer Brittany Howard stepped to the mic to induct Sister Rosetta Tharpe into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 2018, the Alabama Shakes frontwoman exclaimed, “It’s long overdue!” before breaking into a rocking version of Sister Rosetta’s “That’s All.”
Despite her Hall Of Fame induction, Sister Rosetta Tharpe’s talent, fame, and influence remain largely obscure and barely known to most music fans today. That cries out for a correction.
As both the originator of pop gospel and a popularizer of the electric guitar, Sister Rosetta brought an emotionally charged dimension that was foundational to rock’n’roll. Her hit recordings, beginning in the late 30s and lasting into the 50s, informed a Who’s Who of early rock n roll.
