I remember seeing something where she said: who needs a microphone when I’ve got a voice as big as a church and lungs as powerful as the Holy Spirit?! That alone is the best!
She’s got a lapel microphone, you can see it on her coat. But the point remains. I reckon she hardly needed it on the day haha
AMEN to that!!🙏
@@Shakes-Off-Fear I mean, the lapel will probably be for recording her for TV rather than to put through a PA.
she feelin the spirit fo sure
OMG
Imagine starting Rock and Roll and not getting credited as much as other people. She deserves the title of Queen and King of Rock and Roll
@@suraya1224 And heartbreak and gender non-conformism and being cast out and a terrible death...the story of rock and roll and all that came after... all that besides, watch her mannerisms closely: chuck berry to keith richards...they all either copy her or (more accurately) learnt from her (and acknowlege it) and embody the same physicality of relationship with the guitar...
Yes
I think Rock 'n' Roll was around before 1964...
@@DrProfScience1 Yes, but this was after she had already invented the style many years prior. She didn't stop after others took it up.
SHE NEEDS MORE CREDIT!!!!!!
Anyone in 2024? 😎
Yessss
Yesss...from Sinaloa Mexico
Never heard of her until today. She is amazing 😊😊
Yip deep down in AFRICA 😂
Still playing and known 60 years later!
Ain't nobody cool as Sister Rosetta playing an SG at the train station, in a jeweled fur coat. What a legend.
And don’t forget about that entrance. Classic
she looks so cool
That Coach and SG is a classic baby!
I believe that was called a Les Paul back then. Keith Richards played one.
@@scotthouston3607 yeah but les didn't like it
The best part of CZcams is finding musicians you've never seen or heard before and loving them immediately
Yes Mark, nice observation, and nice inquiring mind you have, I'll bet you don't get bored.
FACTS MARKWOLFE !!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯🙏
MarkWolfe I agree with you 100%
MarkWolfe this is my first time coming her. True music, especially when the crowd is involved
311 and Metallica brought me here.
I LOVE MUSIC
How a black woman could say to a bunch of white kids that she loved them with a genuine warm smile on her face after the years of horrible racism she saw growing up is proof that she really had God’s love and forgiveness in her heart and just what a light she was and how much that light burned with the Holy Spirit.
So many great blues players were kept alive and performing by mostly white college circuit gigs. Sister Rosetta, John Lee Hooker, so many more. If they were lucky they lived long enough to be appreciated as the giants they were. Most only got that recognition after they'd died.
she was a performer. that's what they do.
Pulls up in a horse drawn carriage, is led onto the stage by a dapper gent, and then proceeds to tear the house down, all whilst still in her coat. 100% pure class.
Yes that is so awesome! 😀❤💞💖
Brilliant response.
Amen
Right? 😂 And dancing around pools of Water while holding an Electric guitar⛈️⚡✨ Luv her!
Sister Rosetta Tharpe - the real and only Mother of Rock'n Roll! Love her so much! ❤❤❤
My greatest tribute to the earthly legacy she left us! ❤❤❤
Every soul is immortal, we are all trains on the way to heaven, so we all will meet again one day! I can hardly wait! ❤️❤️❤️
My grandmother used to tell me about Miss Tharpe and she always said "she already at top, she's just waiting for the men to catch up" lol
my ipads not coperating, A THOUSAND THUMBS UP
Great!! See I knew she was something else x
The god of rock is a queen. Jimi and Chuck said so...
Hey friend, I hope you know you're always loved and supported!! I love you buddy, if you ever need anyone to talk to, I'm here. Rest in peace. ❤
Wow! Your grandmother absolutely nailed it!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Elvis once said “rock 'n roll music is basically gospel and rhythm n blues.” and Sister Rosetta Tharpe is the embodiment of that synthesis.
Elvis watched her perform
Elvis was a con
He had no choice, his entire career is owed to black musicians
At least he admitted how influential she was on him!
where do you think he and Chuck Berry learned it from
Would be nice if they did a movie about her
Exactly! Either Queen Latifah (I think she looks a lot like her) or Macy Gray.
I’d buy a ticket
Estava faltando esse comentário. Eu iria amar ver um filme sobre essa rainha ❤
This beautiful black granny makes me so proud to see history.
The best. ❤❤❤
the class, the style
exits a carriage, strolls over casually,
*obtains guitar*
immediately slays
Perfectly said and the power too. She's a strong person.
Lovely
😅👌
Nice Horse, what a nice thing...GIMME A KEY
Best part is that her guitars a fuckin Gibson SG just like Tony Iommi from Black Sabbath used😂the fact that there’s a direct line from this woman, to Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath (& from there to brutal death metal, grindcore, sludge metal & every other extreme form of metal & also Hardcore/Hardcore Punk) is one of the most beautiful things to ever occur in human history
The Godmother of Rock and Roll. Hollywood should make a movie about her as she influenced music in such a way that it is still felt to this day.
Played by Queen Latifah 💯🔥
Yeah let Hollywood fuck even more up👍
Mother of Rock and Roll FTFY
no she wasn't the godmother of rock and roll
she was the MOTHER of rock 'n' roll. put some RESPECT on her name!
@@mcFreaki She is called that by others, just like Patti LaBelle is called the "Godmother of Soul" and just like
James Brown is referred to as the
"Godfather of Soul".
There are two men who are referred to as the "Father of Rock and Roll" and they are Chuck Berry and legendary DJ and promoter Alan Freed.
You are right though that Sister Rosetta Sharp should be referred to as the
"Mother of Rock and Roll". I was not disrespecting her legacy but pointing out that she is also referred to as the
"Godmother of Rock and Roll" as well.
It was a long overdue induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame back in 2018 when Sister Rosetta Sharp was finally inducted.. I think a movie on her life and legacy on music should be made.
I love these oldie Goldie's
Brings me back my memories
I miss my Big mama
She loved playing these oldie
Goldie's
Why she bootleg 🍺🍺
Cheers everybody this bud's for you ❤❤
And there she is: the true craftswoman of rock n' roll. Thank you mama!!❤
Take a bow Sister Rosetta Tharpe. All those listening to you in 2020 sends their love and respect.
Speechless amen sister Rosetta Thorpe amen Queen I just got hip heard of her now I feel her rain
Absolutely!!
Love it
100%
My soul feels her passion!! 🙌👏👏👏👏
Ladies and gents, you are witnessing the prototype of rock and roll. Sister Rosetta is severely underrated. The rock and roll hall of fame JUST inducted her, even though she practically invented the damn genre
True....
A birthing!
never even heard of her ever, lol amazing how now youtube wants me to watch this :) sad to read up that she died so young though
Truth
That electric guitar seems too out of place in this video.
She is the most unbelievable woman I’ve ever seen. She rips so hard.
Not the godmother of rock and roll, she was the true MOTHER of the rock and roll. Real respect to her.
Absolutely 🤗

The way she plays that electric guitar in 1964 gives me chills. So far ahead of the times.
yep
bro she was FEELIN that rhythm
Not in 64. Keep in mind players like Hendrix and Clapton were already around.
@@david6099 In 64 Hendrix and Clapton were basically unknown, they were taking influence from people like her.
@@seregill13 keep in mind Hendrix died in 69. He was already playing the way he did. I’m not saying she wasn’t influential but to say this was ground breaking in 64 is not accurate.
I am so grateful to be able to see her in 2024! She is better than anyone we have now. She is amazing 😍
I was today years old. 49 years of not knowing about this badass woman.
Pretty awesome find, huh? Have you looked all her stuff up yet?
History did everything to erase this incredible woman. but talent could not be hidden. Badass indeed!
Dude there's a treasure trove of old blues stuff online now. RL Burnside my dude
@neicosta "history did everything it could" lol it's on youtube. You didn't have to find some obscure magazine and dig through garage sales to find this song

She invented rock 'n roll and was the first to say:
"I guess you guys aren't ready for that, yet. But your kids are gonna love it."
she didn't invent rock n roll...
Let's be clear: no one person invented rock n roll. However, Tharpe was perhaps the first to take gospel and punch it up for mainly white audiences. If you don't feel, based on the timeline, that she was the mother of the genre, who was? Everyone else came later. @@bobbyschannel349
😃🔊 MY MOTHER DEAR (89YEARS OLD) LOVE THE SINGER AND THE SONG
That move she makes at the 2:49 mark, she played that guitar like it was a part of her...A powerful voice and genius on guitar, the TRUE mother of rock and roll.
Can we take a few seconds to appreciate how bless we are to being capable to discover something like this every once in a while?
Blessed, blessed, blessed

Wonderful!!ď

😍
Everyone listening in 2021, don't let the memory of this beautiful music die with the legendary musicians.
Same for 2022,
Still Listen 05/10/2022. Amen 🙏
When I want to be enspired, I watch this video. She mix Gospel & Rythm & Blues. And Sings to The Lord in The sky. Amen 🙏
I see a lot of people complaining that she isn’t as known because she was a woman and gender conforming whatever crap. I think it’s better this way though. Id rather her stay relatively obscure and be able to just enjoy her music without having to hear a bunch of white liberals who just found her music pretend to have known about her all along and start complaining about injustices instead of just appreciating what she did for rock n roll. Or worse comparing her to modern artists as a trailblazer like Lizzo or something.
or 2022!
Found her name reading heaven and earth grocery store. Books really leads me anywhere to someone. ❤❤❤
This is a classic! This woman was a classic! And I love the quote below: "who needs a microphone when I’ve got a voice as big as a church and lungs as powerful as the Holy Spirit?!" That's just fabulous!
Wow! Can't believe this is the first i am listening to this amazing lady, what a shame, with a voice like that she should have been in the front line, not being made to walk in back doors.
The way she picked up that guitar like a boss!!!!! YES QUEEN!!!!
Yes she did!!❤❤❤👍👍👍
You know she did! ❤️
Oh yes she was Queen Beautiful Queen
Yes Queen! Like A Boss.. And can I get a Mic Drop?
She is AMAZING right!!
When your grandma is more rock and roll than you'll ever be
Ted Nugent once said his grandmother can play better guitar then them, referring to the band The Clash. Now, I can believe it.
She definitely has the moves...
And Gospel rock at that!!!
@@geezler4083 that's not hard to believe!
Actually, it is blues, but the best Rock and Roll was blues based.
What charisma, magnetism and talent!
Sister Rosetta Tharpe we love you!
This makes me so happy!
My dad is outta Jackson, Alabama waaaaay back up in them woods where the asphalt stops and the orange clay dirt starts, and he always tell me about these artist back in his youth. Me and my friends would be dying laffing because pop always enjoyed talking about the good times coming up in those times (Jim Crow). My homies love to hear my Pop talk about when him and his running buddies went to see James Brown and The Famous Flames and they were drinking a rott gutt liquor call "Red Dagger"! Lawd I'm so glad that this new social media can put a face with these stories of old and we can see our elders and appreciate and learn and be proud of our heritage which we're supposed to be anyway because we have been through hell and highwater but we're still standing! So thank you elders for going through and keeping the faith because it's 2021 and we're still going through and it seem like they're trying to take us back! Next they'll be telling us to guess how many bubbles in a bar of soap so we can vote! Maaaan...let me stop! Y'all stay sturdy and stay safe and keep the faith 💯🙏🏿💪🏾✊🏾
Your family's story should become a book.
Pretty please preserve them at all cost!🥳🙏🏾
Love this
I spent some time in Birmingham Alabama in the early 1970s and sampled "Red Dagger" wine and while there they came out with Red Dagger Junior to cut It back a little. Yet, what was just as if not more potent was Purple Cow! Peace...
keep the faith.. the most important thing on earth
My mom talked about Rosetta Tharpe all the time. One day earlier this year we listened to a podcast on her. She had such an interesting life. She was extremely popular in her day. She was more appreciated outside the US. I hate that so many have not heard of her. Amazing lady.
@Laurence O'Connor That is so cool!
Josephine Baker, was another great opportunity missed by the racists American people.
I'd never heard of her until today wow
This is the true start of real in your face, energetic rock and roll rippin from a triple humbucking gibson SG. Absolute legend.
As a guitar player myself, I simply adore this woman! Jimmy was right to be inspired by her 😊
There's never going to be a more important influence in music definition and expertise than All of our sister and the lord's work !!!! She truly is an Angel !!!!
Hello!!! How are you doing today! Please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you're a fan.... Stay Safe!
She rocking in heels that's even more talent
Alyssa Smith yes she was the whole deal, played guitar, sang and performed in those 👠.
She did it all, like right there. Like, this ain't even hard.
Absolutely talented
On a wet stage .
And in that coat!!
ijs! yaaaaaaaasssssssss!
WHAT A SOUND FOR 1964!!! I was born in 1959 and yesterday was browsing through U-TUBE and found The Godmother Rosetta Tharpe and I could not believe my ears.Wow what a treat!!! I love it.
When she straps on that guitar, I'm so proud to be a woman.
Right 😫🙏🙏
RESPECT 4 U
That part!❤
Arent u normally proud? Imagine if men said these idiocies
How can I be a blues guitar lover, and JUST found this beautiful woman??? So damn good! And expensive Gibson guitars too! Proof that God loves ALL of us!!! I wish I had my old red Gibson SG, and my ES 135. (Made on Valentine's day) That's not rain, that's tears. I love you Rosetta!
It should be noted that she wasn't performing for the camera or even the folks in the crowd really, she was playing for the Lord; that IMHO makes it all that much better.
This old lady is cooler than I will ever be.
Naomi Winters I’m sure you’re cool too:)
😆
That "old" lady is 49.
Belle Starr in the words of inspector Clouseau “not anymore” 😎
@@johnhungerford6073 Your point?
I am simultaneously grateful for discovering Sister Tharpe today and furious that the discovery took so long. What an immense talent she was!
Yep yep and yep
Warrior goddess
Yes we invented rock and roll too.
Dito! ❤️
I'm here October 2020 and couldn't agree more!! I'm a huge Aretha, Staple sisters, Ann Pebbles and Etta fan so I'm embarrassed too!!
one of the coolest performances I have seen
830 dislikes? people have no class, intelligence, or an appreciation for history and real talent. On a side note Ms Thorpe is rocking that gorgeous coat!
Gettin their 2 and 1/2 seconds
steemdup only a moron would dislike this
That's okay at least we know
I suspect the dislikes are from seeing an awesome black artist perform before a bland white crowd. How can you just sit in your seat and listen to her sing her heart out?
830 guys that could only tap their big feet!
She should be as well known as Waters, Wolf, King, et al. Glad the rock hall finally noticed her.
James Short: she was 30 years before her time. What an incredible voice. She could sing with the ease that most people could only speak with. Lord, I loved that woman and her voice.
Blues not rock. Don't care what anybody says.
@Mark Spires tell him
@@billbradleymusic Technically no, but the blues are the main thing that inspired rock, especially influencing the British blues of the late 60s, which led to so many other genre's.
I mean, even look at Sabbath. Iommi was a blues dude who had almost the same exact guitar here, and through finding himself and the blues invented a genre.
Most iconic music from the last 100 years or so evolved from electric blues, James Jamerson's basslines, the stage presence of soul artists, and the freedom of 60s counterculture.
As usual black jazz move mountains be it Everest o de Pico europa
She looks so stylish and plays the guitar like a BOSS!!! How are these people in the audience not rushing the tracks?!
Nice, I never knew who was tbe best female guitarist, but finally I found this rock star. Greets from Bolivia 🇧🇴.
Absolute QUEEN!
The definition! 👑
hi hoovy
no
@@sinixdev8690 yes
Strapping on an electric guitar in the rain in the 60's. Probably safe, but it makes me appreciate her even more!! I agree with an earlier comment....we need a movie about this talented woman!
I can’t wait to listen to this lady in heaven ❤
Now that's cool🔥🔥 why can't we have musicians like this today, an era long gone I guess.
How the hell have I never heard about this amazing lady?!?
Exactly so many owe her.
I'm embarrassed I just found out... and it was Instagram that told me. Sad
Whitewashing history
Because she isn't Justin Bieber or Niki Minaj
@@quincyhyde8760
Don't be embarrassed
BE VERY PROUD THAT YOU FOUND HER
True pioneer.I've heard a lot of people didn't like her because of her "style" as in bluesy playing. I love it. Such a versatile musician who didn't stick to just one genre. She deserves her props.
They didn't like her because SHE SHOWED THEM UP!
Artist go unheard everyday
@q As long as we know the truth- that's whats important
Never tire of seeing her/them. Didn't it Rain......
The best! Kisses From Brazilian.
An old girlfriend of mine told me this was one of the greatest entrances ever made. I'm inclined to agree.
If you are 15-20 years old and here listening to this song, congratulations you have my respect. We need young people like you so that our real music can continue to exist. May 2020
Nice to hear someone speak sense rather than nit-picking and calling them ignorant etc. If you really love a genre, you welcome people to it, not shut them out. I'm 30 so old enough to spread the good word :D When your Chuck Berry-loving father gives you a guitar at 6 then you are going to grow up with good taste!
@@rosseatsleepjdmCongratulations friend, stay with God !
Hate when old people say stupid stuff like this

You should, first of all, respect the opinion of your elders. Comments like yours show that you don't have a minimum of education. God be with you !
I'm 17, I love listening to music from the 1920's all the way to the 90's, I just love how in those decades they put so much thought and soul into their music compared to most of today, love it :D
Didn't know about Tharpe as a kid in high school, thirty years ago. Saw this video about five years ago. I teach high school American/African-American history now and you can bet she's part of our curriculum. Thanks for posting.
That's got to be the coolest Gibson SG, I've ever seen.
Three humbuckers. Five knobs. And crispier than the first frost.
If she had distortion with that guitar, she would have changed their hair cuts.
😂❤
Sister Rosetta Tharpes SG is in the Smithsonians collection.
Recently, Epiphone re-issued it!!
Angus Young would be Jealous..
Her music was the immediate predecessor to rock 'n' roll and served as an inspiration to every early rock star worth knowing, from Elvis Presley and Little Richard to Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis.
Her voice is so powerful that she doesn't even use a microphone!!! Wow, what a show.
Do you know if she played the guitar live or is she miming on that too
@@bobmomgodbob She played it live.
She has a mic on her lapel so it's all live.
She has a mic on. It's clipped just below her chin
The late Canadian tenor Jon Vickers was the same. He sang the Star Spangled Banner in front of the White House in front of a mic once, but whenever he played Tristan, Otello, Sampson, Peter Grimes, etc. it was just raw vocal power that carried his performance.
Her voice is SO full...takes me back to memories that aren't mine...
i love how she moves to the beat, the music is in her bones
There'd be no rock and roll as we know it without this lady right here! She was the PROTOTYPE! listen closely and you can here where alot of rock and rollers back in the day got their style and swag from and she rarely got acknowledged! I believve it was either Chuck Barry or Little Richard who said "My career has just been one long sister rosetta rose tharpe impression." THE POWER OF THAT STATEMENT! pay your respects because without this lady right here music would be VERY different
"There'd be no rock and roll as we know it " Chill out dude, yes there would be, rock n roll wasn't invented by one person.
Pretty sure Chuck Berry had those riffs 20 years before her, but yeah, what you say. czcams.com/video/v124f0i0Xh4/video.html
@@usertubeification The video is filmed in the 60s but she was around decades before, I think she helped Little Richard onto the scene. As a rule of thumb regarding RnR, if Chuck Berry said it, it's the truth. Just saying, so you can make sure you have your facts right :)
Sing and Shout
Well Rock n Roll wasn’t really invented by one person. It was the culmination of the efforts of many people. Someone else here said something about Chuck Berry. Even Chuck Berry had his influences. Give a listen to T Bone Walker and tell me Chuck wasn’t influenced by him. Listen to Goree Carter’s “Rock a While” too. Everybody was influenced by somebody.
She is a Rockstar like no other!!! Much respect to Sister Rosetta Tharpe!!
Amen and 🙏
Beyoncé brought me here! She just mentioned Rosetta when she won her iheart radio innovator award.
This is one of the greatest performances I’ve ever seen. ❤
Love the way they use a train station , as a stage , the whole world is a stage .

I don't know what has more class, the woman, the stage, or the Gibson
I clicked for the guitar, glad I did too :)
The woman. She's the one rocking the other elements.
I too clicked for the Gibson, double whammy.😚
Check out what's known as an 'American rocking chair' on her left. It's got the original carpet bag upholstery and the coiled springs under the rockers. An inspired prop choice for the 2nd innovator and the Queen of Rock 'n Roll.
The REAL ORIGINATOR who wrote the very first Rock 'n Roll song is the King of Country music Mr. Hank Williams Snr. Check out his 'MOVE IT ON OVER on here at CZcams and then compare it to what is officially known as the first R'nRoll record 'Rock Around The Clock by Bill Haley & The Comets. Even the guitar riff on Haley's is a steal of Hank Williams'.
Yes, Hank Williams and Sister Rosetta are the male and female innovators of Rock 'n Roll. Listen to Sister Rosetta singing & playing 'HOUNDS DOG' years before Elvis recorded it.
I'm interested in any constructive feedback. opinions
@@BobTaile Hound Dog is one of my favorites. If I wasn't a white, male bassist, I'd love to be able to sing like Sister or Big Mama Thornton

I think even the horse was rocking back-and-forth bouncing his hoof
Me too. Just stumbled across her and her incredible music yesterday! All my life I never heard of her at all. And wow! I love it and I'm so glad I found these videos of her.
What incredible talent!
Even though it has been decades since she passed, we who have found her music (all these years after) will surely keep her memory and music going!
I just love her. And in this performance she has the moves too!
A complete package of incredible talent!
Howdy cousin!
Entirely new to me and I thought I knew a bit about music? Little did I know 8n fact! Wow. You can immediately see her influence on SO many who came afterwards.
I was listening to a blues and early rock & roll playlist on youtube. This was the first that I didn't recognise so I sat down and watched the video. I was surprised when I noticed the SG. What a legend she is!
Goodness, she's amazing, what a powerhouse & played that hell outta the guitar too! Can hear her influence on so many after her!
