  • Hi friends, happy Thursday!
    Welcome to the Dark History Podcast. Do you know who Sister Rosetta Tharpe is? Would you believe me if I told you she’s responsible for Elvis Presley, Chuck Barry, Little Richard, The Beatles, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Jimmi Hendrix and basically Rock and Roll itself? Well today we’re gonna go into Rosetta’s story and learn about how she is the unknown mother of rock and roll.
    I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more dark history.
    You can find Dark History podcast on Apple, Spotify, wherever you listen to your podcasts, and every Thursday here on my CZcams for the visual side of things.

    I learned about Sister Rosetta in a Rolling Stone special issue on the history of rock n roll. They called her the Godmother of Rock N Roll. I was very impressed and shocked; my mom always said rock music was invented by Black people but I always thought it was by men. Now I also just learned that a Black Woman invented Grunge!! No wonder I love rock music so much. Thank you for the Black History lesson, and the Women’s History lesson as well, Bailey!!! ❤️🖤💚

    (NOT) Fun Fact: I took "The History of Rock & Roll" my first semester of college and the textbook DID NOT EVEN MENTION ROSETTA! I was gobsmacked. My professor's only mention of her was to check out "Rosetta Thorpe" if we wanted to learn more about gospel! He couldn't even get her name right, let alone her massive contribution to rock (but we spent weeksss on The Beatles). Thank you Bailey for being more thorough than my professor and talking about Sister Rosetta.

      I also took “The History of Rock & Roll” class in college, and I don’t ever remember learning about Sister Rosetta. Now I wish that she was added to the textbook. On the bright side, I don’t think my professor spent weeks on The Beatles. That, and they were grouped in with The Rolling Stones, The Who, and I think some other British bands when we were learning about them.

    A band I loved as a teenager, Noisettes, wrote a song called ‘Sister Rosetta’, and it made me investigate her. She was the trigger for my exploration of the history of women in rock music, and how they were wayyyyy more prevalent in rock than I was led to believe as a kid. I didn’t realise grunge was invented by Tina Bell, a black woman… your local record store would never tell you that.

      Well, imo Grunge and Punk has a lot of toxic masculinity. Growing up I was really into punk, and guys in the scene would interrogate me to prove I really knew about punk or they'd push being straight edge XD.
      I'd just say I don't have anything to prove, and then they'd say smthing like " oh so you don't know" and than proceed to talk down to me.

    Elvis is from the city about 25 minutes from me. His legacy is pretty strong in Tupelo, and it's a huge festival every year. I grew up listening to him religiously, and even his gospel records. I discovered Sister Rosetta Tharp and Mama Thorton about 10 years ago, and the influences of black artists on SO many white ones is absolutely INSPIRING despite how it's not widely talked about. We should expose and celebrate these historic and wonderful influences more often. Thank you for doing a piece on Rosetta!

      @@no1nestandsalone387 it wasnt his fault and it's hard to believe he was racist. It was the world he was living in. Everyone no matter what color should be able to enjoy and play music no matter it's origins. The issue was that society didnt care too much to see black people, so for sales they got a white guy to emulate a black sound. The "bad guy" would be the record company and society(not really one person to blame here). He was open about his influences from black people and was invited to many black spaces. there's only one racist quote from him that has proven to only be a rumor. Black people that worked with him didnt have issues with him and if they did it was over the unfair situation of his success rather than him being a terrible person and a racist. It's not fair to call him racist when there's nothing to support it. he did the best he could at the time with trying to highlight his inspirations, it was the world that didnt want to care, support, or acknowledge the black artists as well.

      Black folks have also been removed from ancient Egypt.
      Black folks were celebrated more so across the pond than right here in the. USA. British start-ups like the BEATLES and the ROLLING STONES grew up on Little Richard, worshipped him, then these young Brits came to the USA, emulated Little Richard and became richer, more famous and more loved than Little Richard.😢
      Lead Belly was renowned in Folk Music from 1903-1949, and he was inspired by Blind Mellon Jelly. However, a White fella named Woodie Guthrie who was born in 1913 is somehow published as being the face of Folk Music, one of its creators instead of simply one of its participants.
      Benny Goodman is labeled the King of Swing although Cab Calloway and Duke Ellington were earlier pioneers, although not the earliest (that title belongs to a different Black man) in the genre before White guys became participants. It is important for the same reason that Wilbur and Orville Wright, alone, are credited with the invention of the airplane. Give credit where it is due. Somehow when Black folks create a product and White folks get in on it at a later date, the White guy is credited as the originator and Black folks are said to have just contributed. And the American history books are just fine with perpetuating the lie. That is not all White folks, just USA White folks. The Brits seem to have no problem with the truth.

    Great story. I had never heard of Rosetta Thorpe (I am 75 years old). I was privileged to see The Ink Spots (who you mentioned) in concert in the 70s (they were aging at that point but had a great reputation. My husband who got into gospel music after his retirement brought us to the “gospel sing” at which a band plays and whoever wants to get up and sing can (very popular here in SW Virginia). I said all this to tell you that two very popular songs at these sings are “Up Above My Head” and “Ain’t No Grave”. Two Rosetta Thorpe songs you mentioned in your Podcast. You go girl.

    5 years ago, when my granddaughter was born, I was inspired by my own childhood, but even more by how black children responded to Black Panther, & I thought I should do some research & collect some women's history, give her some role models to look up to. That led to my understanding that although some things have changed for women, many things have not. That led to my realization that women have an enormous amount of pressure put on them & I started really paying attention to women who shared their experiences. I had already gotten sober, which is a process of examing yourself, but the research & stories made me analyze my past & present behavior, actions & motives. This has all led to a profound change in my relationships with women, whether its my daughter & grandchildren or women I'm friends with. Its made me get more vocal online about that, especially trying to convince men that they should also educate themselves on women's experiences. I get a ton of hate mail from men because they are so fragile, so I don't really follow comments anymore when I talk about this - but - its great to see others learning about women's history, because they have been buried & dismissed for hundreds of years. Love your videos, love your commentary, & it was my daughter that turned me on to you.
