Sister Rosetta Tharpe

Sister Rosetta Tharpe? Oh, you mean the original rock star throwing down riffs like she's got a personal vendetta against silence? Forget your standard strumming; her guitar work blasts like a holy rollercoaster ride through church on a Saturday night. Quirky outfits? Check. Shredding gospel and blues like a tornado? Double check. If you’re not in awe of her wildly inventive sound that kicked off rock 'n' roll before it was even a thing, then you simply don’t get it. Get ready for some passionate debate because siding against Sister Rosetta? That's a one-way ticket to musical ignorance, my friend!
