People don’t realize just how important and revolutionary this woman truly was. She was the first person ever to combine rock and roll with gospel, while also being one of the first to use guitar distortion. Even Eric Clapton took inspiration from her. This woman is incredible and up there with the very best.

Sister Rosetta Tharpe was a very popular gospel artist and evangelist during the 1930's and 1940's playing a jazzy blues on an acoustic guitar. She was one of two gospel singers that recorded records for the troops during WW2. She was gifted one of the first electric guitars made to create the riffs and power chords that were copied by the early rock and roll artists. She fell into obscurity like the rest of the jazz artists when tastes in popular music changed. Her life history is interesting to read. Born in Cotton Plant, Arkansas to grow up in Chicago then performing at the clubs in Harlem while still performing gospel music.

Inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame in 2018. What an absolute Legend.

Well, first she was Black, second a woman, and third, this music wasn’t exactly mainstream. Conservatives kept it out of mainstream music as long as they could until basically the late 50s 60s blew things wide open for rock and roll, but only white men were prevalent.

The Guardian wrote an article about Tharpe that adds a tiny bit more detail to John's great post: "in 1964, when Granada TV set up a concert for the members of the American Folk, Blues and Gospel Caravan in a railway station at Chorlton-cum-Hardy, outside Manchester. The young audience sat on one platform, while the performers set up on the other side of the tracks, which the programme-makers had dressed up to resemble the porch of a sharecropper’s shack."

The best American blues band, they were from England of course, but that doesn't matter, they were the best in the "Blues Rock" genre which is true American music. Semantics.

The Rock and Rock Hall of Fame people are a clicky bunch of out-of-touch idiots. Convincing these dullards that a certain band's music is good enough is to give them too much power, no thanks. To be fair, Tharpe is different because in that category (artists who predate rock 'n roll) they have honored other legit musicians - still, 30-something years to get the inducted is too long. For bands like Rush, their talent and contribution wasn't obvious enough to the committee that they have to be pressured to induct them, to me that's so foolish it's beyond contempt. What's the point? Unfortunately, most rock and roll bands want the cred of being inducted. To me, it means nothing.

I agree she should get utmost love and recognition. But I don't agree with your use of the term "real creator". "Rock n roll" was more of a stage/era of evolution (generally attributed to the 1950s) than an "invention". Many musicians and styles "created" it.

@tony.h321

​@@snakejuce Chuck Berry is called the "the father of rock n roll" because it was his popular faster-paced style that caused the music to sky-rocket during the 50s. Which led to the coining of the term "rock n roll". But its one of those things that can easily be debated. There is no law stating that the "honour" must go to Chuck Berry. Or that you have to see it as a single honour. In the end of the day, both Chuck Berry and Sister Rosetta Tharpe (and many others) "created" it. One could say Chuck Berry was the daddy, Sister Rosetta Tharpe was the mommy, and Robert Johnson was the granddaddy, etc. etc. but that sort of labelling is always going to be an over-simplification, and leave out many others who also deserve recognition.
