Sister Rosetta Tharpe: The Godmother of Rock and Roll Featuring: Toni Davis (Host & Storyteller). Summary 🎙️ Sister Rosetta Tharpe: The Godmother of Rock and Roll 🎸✨ Before Elvis, Chuck Berry, and Little Richard, there was Sister Rosetta Tharpe. The groundbreaking guitarist, gospel singer, and true Godmother of Rock and Roll. In this episode, we dive into her powerful story: from church stages to international tours, and how her gospel roots shaped the very foundation of rock and roll. We’ll explore how Sister Rosetta’s blistering electric guitar riffs and fearless stage presence influenced legends like Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, and Tina Turner — yet why her name was almost lost to history. Join us as we celebrate one of the most important, and overlooked, figures in music history, an African American woman pioneer who redefined what it meant to rock. If you love music history storytelling, unsung legends of rock, and the powerful role of women in music, this episode is for you. #SisterRosettaTharpe #GodmotherofRockandRoll #RockandRollHistory #WomenInMusic Highlights: 00:57- INTRO. 01:04- ROSETTA NUBIN’S BIRTH. 01:44- HER MOTHER KATIE BELL NUBIN. 01:57- FOUR YEARS OLD PLAYS THE GUITAR AND SINGS. 03:00- CHICAGO. 03:23- TEMPLE CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST. 03:30- SIX YEARS OLD SOLO DEBUT. 04:01- TRAVELING DUO WITH HER MOTHER. 04:32- MARRIES THOMAS J.
