How cruel and ignorant we were then! Imagine not letting people stay in the hotel, not letting them drink from the water fountains or eat in the restaurants. How shameful! They had to sneak food to her on the bus. I hope we never forget these dark lessons from our past. As a white man, I am ashamed of what my predecessors did to my African brothers and sisters. Let's all move forward with love and forgiveness and do important work to stamp out racism in all forms and manners! What a talented group of women! Wish I could have seen them live.
We need to get OVER the bad science of "race" for there is but one race and that is composed of all humanity. What appears to our puny eyes to be "race" is only the differential distribution of alleles due to environmental selection pressures from thousands of years ago before humans had world wide travel. Even in our mythos, those who believe in the Bible do not teach that God made separate creations of "white" Adam n'Eve "yellow" "red" "black" "brown" etc. The first primordial parents of mythos were ONE.
The story and struggle of this beautiful and amazingly talented woman is inspiring, she made it in a society that was determined to keep her down! God bless her soul!
Yeah she was ineed an angel sent by God, God has been really amazing, whenever I listened to her songs, just can't stop thanking God for all his wonderful works in our life, you seem to love her alot right, I can tell from your comment, she must be really glad to know that people are out there who cares and appreciate her so dearly.....by the way nice meeting you on here, I hope you are having a wonderful time out there right 😃😃😃...have a blessed day okay......
I was born in the 70's and I couldn't imagine how life was back then, I'm blessed to have grown up with parents who taught me to never treat people differently just because they are different than me... I ❤️Music & almost all genres

Sister Rosetta was a natural powerhouse with a God given talent of music. Her voice was like no other. She gave people courage to sing out loud and enjoy your voice. ☮️💜
What an amazing story! Sister’s past breaks my heart, I can’t stand racism or sexism, and I am glad to see that she is getting the exposure she deserves!
The way she's playing the guitar, she's a forerunner to Chuck Berry and even Jimi Hendrix!! The American sailors and soldiers visiting Liverpool and London would bring this music there(in the early 50's) and the British kids at the time(namely John and Paul or Mick Jagger or Eric Clapton)was listening to blues, gospel, and R&b and there you go.🎶🎶
thank you for this documentary! I am ashamed to say I have never heard of this amazing, talented woman. Now I am listening to everything and reading all I can. I always knew "Rock n Roll" was stolen, refurbished, plagiarized, and bastardized, and just plain ripped off. GO ROSETTA, ROLL!
We are simply amazing humans. We have given the world so much joy. So much talent that other people have whole careers by doing nothing more than ripping us off. Reparations are due. Anyone who thinks otherwise is an ingrate.

Me too. My mother was a pianist. Once a month we drove an 1.5 hrs to the black church in indy..cap city. After church,Mom would get up front and jam out with Lamar, their pianist. I was the only one listening in the empty church. I realized..I felt different during service being the only white faces in audience..even though no one treated me differently. I thought..it would suck to be the only one, the minority all the time.
@@JudithAYates why? Do yo really think all the things you see around you just came to be by themselves? Please read the book of Romans in the bible. Eve if its jus the first chapter. God loves you
Great and important historic video. I grew up in that era in the south. This is exactly the way it was. What a testimonial to Sister Rosetta whose motivation was several levels above all of us. THanks for posting this.

Note: to all who think Elvis is the " King of Rock and Roll" no disrespect he was raised on Music already made and formed note : 14:50 check out what Gordon Stoker of the Jordanaires said "They sat in the back just to hear us perform" Soul is from the heart not how you promote it. Sister Rosetta was the best thing that happen to Elvis again, no disrespect.
It’s time for blacks to get acknowledged!!! I’m so ashamed for the way blacks were treated and still are treated. But thankful to say my great-Grandfather is black. So proud of that.
haitipi I remember my mom telling me about my uncle sneaking out of the house to go see Chuck Berry & others, & how pissed-off my grandfather would get.
LULA COLLINS---Look her up she is AWESOME too. I listen to her in the 1970s. She was friends with my family. She gave us her LP Albums. We played those Anointed songs daily. The peace of God filled the house.
I just love the way she plays guitar. She plays the hell out of it in praise of the Lord. My favorites are, "I Can't Sit Down" and "That's All" live. They're on YT. I also put it on here: 1960's SUPER FANTASTIC MUSIC. MIND BLOWING. IT'S ALL TOO MUCH. PUT IT ON YOUR PHONE! NOT "GREATEST HITS" TOP 40. TOP 1000!

About time she got in the Rock n Roll hof. The building should be named after Rosetta.Go to library and get the biography by Gayle Wald. You will be amazed and learn how she influenced so very many. Awesome story!
Yoooo. The fact that they did a publicity stunt as a wedding! Now that's marketing! 25,000 fans came with GIFTS and paid to get in! Why is this not a movie!
sandra Jones Well, to point to one person as the sole originator of any genre of music is probably not very accurate. Still, I don’t know of any earlier example of someone playing music like that. All the people usually credited with inventing Rock & Roll were directly influenced by her.
THANK YOU so MUCH!! I am doing a History fo Gospel Music presentation for my Interfaith Community Gospel Choir, and this has helped me know Sister Rosetta much better.
That wedding is crazy Jay Z n Beyonce couldn't get this kind of marketing publicity! I don't know how she could do it. smh Im sure she never prayed about that. But she stayed with him for 22 years. wow!
I remember this treatment in the deep south as a kid. Shame on America. The way we got treated. I remember my mother worked in the kitchen we had to go to the back.once my mother got caught and was scolded harshly and cussed out.and her job was threatened.the reason she didn't get fired was she was the best cook. She later quit.rosetta tharp was an icon. A true activist and didn't know it.a legend all the whites entertainers copied her talent.
I’m a 75 year old white woman, and I have loved this women since I was in my teens. Speaking of racial discrimination that she found, in Trumps America at the moment I think things have taken a backward step.

1951 Rosetta Tharpe gets married to Russell Morrison, before 25,000 fans at a sale out at griffin field in Washington, Marie Knight didn't like the marriage but Russell had something Marie could never provide, her marriage lasted 22 yrs. DAMN SHE WAS POPULAR, SHE HAD PERFORMED WITH DUKE, CAB, LUCKY AND THE TOP BLACK ENTERTAINERS IN AMERICA AND EVEN WENT TO ENGLAND TO PERFORM IN THE EARLY 1960's
Blacks paved the way for us all!!! So sad the Accolades don't come until you're gone😢😢 Talent at it's fucking best. We're the Truth period💪💪! If only we could understand what it is we really are....😔🙌🙌👌👏👏👑👑
The Darci 13 obviously they meant one that wasn't in a documentary format. One where there are actors and a script. Don't answer a question unless you're trying to be helpful. And from what I know, no there isn't a movie of that sort out at the moment, but there sure should be.
In the 2022 Death on the Nile movie, the jazz singer sings and plays the guitar to Above My Head. She sounds just like Sister Thorpe. I started singing along but couldn't remember the audience.
Sis.Tharpe I hear very little of her,but. I now know some what of her, the first great gospel singer and first rock 'n' roll guitat,and pop singer.She. was awesome!!!$$⛺📼🏨🚄🚄🎠🏭🎥🏣🚉🚍🚄🌇💿🏥⛺🌆🏩🌄📍🇨🇳🇯🇵🚲↙🔽↗🔤🔵▪◾🕦✖🕖🕚❓💲‼🏧❗
ThePoetry God--I'm White and I Agree--BUT--Consider this a Gift to the White Man--I have Always Loved Black Music Until Rap Came Out. I can Remember back in the 50's and 60's when Whites and Blacks Listened to the Same Music--What Happened???
I believe that you always will represent music! That’s who you are...I don’t know what you mean by taking it back, because you are the ones who started it... and also are stars with all genres of music...just enjoy each other! We are all one
@@randybeard6040 I'm a white woman and I can tell you that this woman stirs my soul like no other. God bless her because she brought something to this earth that the Lord wanted. All people no matter the race or color can choose to be the Children of God. Let's hope the dream keeps on going on that Heavenly train and we all take a lesson from this woman. We should celebrate the gift this woman was given and not praise those that stole the music and lyrics of those that were the pioneers of American gospel music. We need to praise those pioneers of American music. We need to remember the legacy of those musicians that sang gospel music and the blues and played musical instruments and sometimes did both. We need to remember the truth, those musicians were the first and the best. We should not be praising the thieves that stole the original music of African American musicians during the birth of the Blues and Gospel music. We have a responsibility to know and share the truth. Was it not said by a great preacher that the truth shall set us free? This woman is finally being recognized for her gift but she did not receive that recognition while alive. We must remember what the Bible says and that is those that are first shall be last and those that were last will be first in Heaven. This woman will be wearing a crown in Heaven. She will be recognized by Jesus for her gift of music and she will sing for the Lord. Music is a powerful gift, given by God to lift the spirits of the downtrodden on Earth. She didn't hide her light while alive but others chose to ignore her light. Her light will not be hidden in Heaven. I hope one day on earth all will get the recognition they deserve and the true history of music will be known. We that know the truth have a responsibility to teach others the real history of all music and especially gospel music so credit is given where credit is due. The people that were hurting her I have nothing for them.
How sad and incredibly Amazing that this Fabulously Talented woman endured this mess all in the goal to become financially stable...Thank the Lord that this is no longer the case. We’ve come a long way BABY (Ladies) Praise Almighty God. 🙇🏻♀️🤔🙏🏽🎤🎵🔑💗🔥🕊
We going to ignore the fact of them assuming she was dating woman due to the fact she whent on tour with another woman no witnesses say that only the narrator..there is no proof
She started rock ‘n roll. It originated from her unique musical creativity.
How cruel and ignorant we were then! Imagine not letting people stay in the hotel, not letting them drink from the water fountains or eat in the restaurants. How shameful! They had to sneak food to her on the bus. I hope we never forget these dark lessons from our past. As a white man, I am ashamed of what my predecessors did to my African brothers and sisters.

Wow ... finally women are being recognized as founding Rock n Roll ... Praise God for the internet ...
A woman, namely a black woman! I'm so proud; WE invented Rock & Roll, R&B, Jazz, Soul, Hip Hop, we did it but seldom receive the credit.
A Black LGBT woman too!

We should celebrate the gift this woman was given and not praise those that stole the music and lyrics of those that were the pioneers of American gospel music.
We need to praise those pioneers of American music. We need to remember the legacy of those musicians that sang gospel music and the blues and played musical instruments and sometimes did both. We need to remember the truth, those musicians were the first and the best. We should not be praising the thieves that stole the original music of African American musicians during the birth of the Blues and Gospel music. We have a responsibility to know and share the truth. Was it not said by a great preacher that the truth shall set us free? This woman is finally being recognized for her gift but she did not receive that recognition while alive. We must remember what the Bible says and that is those that are first shall be last and those that were last will be first in Heaven. This woman will be wearing a crown in Heaven. She will be recognized by Jesus for her gift of music and she will sing for the Lord. Music is a powerful gift, given by God to lift the spirits of the downtrodden on Earth. She didn't hide her light while alive but others chose to ignore her light. Her light will not be hidden in Heaven. I hope one day on earth all will get the recognition they deserve and the true history of music will be known. We that know the truth have a responsibility to teach others the real history of all music and especially gospel music so credit is given where credit is due.
The people that were hurting her I have nothing for them.
Rap sucks and has denigrated all music.
