I can just imagine Chuck Berry’s cousin at Sister Rosetta’s concert and getting on the phone like “Chuck, Chuck, it’s your cousin, Marvin, Marvin Berry. You know that new sound you’re looking for, well listen to this.”
-
Everytime I told someone that rock was invented by a black woman, they'd never believe it. Thank you for this video! Sister Rosetta Tharpe deserves the world!
-
Sister Tharpe and so many other black women like Memphis Minnie and Big mama Thorton had such a huge influence on modern music all overlooked and never given their due.
-
The Reddit sub r/guitar has a picture of her on the main page. I didn't really know anything about her though, so thanks for enlightening me. She deserves more recognition.
-
About time my Girl got some credit and no better time than Black History Month to shed some light on a Legend
-
My favorite thing about this video is that you added to the conversation without taking away. It's so easy to knock Elvis or to put down certain individuals on the "who created Rock 'n' Roll music" debate, but you didn't do that. Without her, we wouldn't be where we are today.
-
my bi grandma said we can get rock and roll. as a treat
-
She was Punk AF. She was a honey badger.
-
She was amazing and I really hope the legend that she is buried with her Gibson is true, that would be so rock and roll!!!
-
it makes me upset we don’t hear more about her! she was such a badass and i’m glad she is getting the credit she deserves! i can’t wait to tell my friends about her!
-
Sad that because she's a black woman she gets no recognition at all. Didn't know she existed until now as I heard about chuck berry way before
-
Really well done. Taught a course on US popular music history and devoted a whole class session to her.
-
I loved this. Didn't know her life story. What a legend.
-
I first learned about her from the 2001 French film "Amélie" from a moment in which the main character records interesting television clips for her home-bound neighbor. The "Up Above My Head" clip was featured.
-
Dear Polyphonic, stop being entertaining and awesome; you're wrecking the rest of YouTube for me.
-
Damn and to think I never even heard of her before. Thanks for bringing her exposure to modern music lovers!
-
I'm so glad this amazing woman is finally getting some attention. Rock n' roll as we know would not exist without her.
-
Wow a black bi woman started rock and roll.... And no one talks about it
-
A biopic of this woman in this day and age would be a hit.
-
I grew up listening to sister Rosetta on the John R show on WLAC in Nashville I'm really happy to see someone else admit that she invented rock and roll
