For today's joy during #BlackHistoryMonth , let us remember Sister Rosetta Tharpe!
One of the first to meld gospel, jazz, and blues into what we now call "rock and roll", she was an incredible talent - a brilliant guitarist with a voice so powerful she didn't need a microphone. She also inspired contemporary and future rock musicians across the world, from Little Richard to Eric Clapton.
Her charisma and joy are absolutely infectious - check out "Didn't It Rain?" 馃憞
