  • Description

    Sister Rosetta Tharpe was one of the great Gospel guitarists and singers, male or female, of all time. Her amazing vocal performances brought Gospel music to life and her incorporation of Blues, Jazz, as well as traditonal sanctified guitar techniques, brought Pop sensibilities to Gospel helping it to become a much more popular and influential musical genre. This compilation contains all of the important and groundbreaking songs in Sister Rosetta's songbook.
