    So beautifully understated and with the right priorities.
    #1. She's singing on behalf of Jesus.
    #2. She's preaching to audience. She doesn't even want them to clap, just to hear her message.
    #3 She's emphasising the truth of the words.
    #4. She's reminding her band of their holy path.
    #5. She's only singing and playing -- NOT OUT OF EGO -- but as accompaniment to the spiritual meaning and purpose of the song.
    I've seen all sorts of versions of this song and they all "perform", musically, with ego, and without any of #1 - #5.
    And, I'm not even a Christian ... yet I can see her purity of intent.

      Elvis was influenced by her singing style and talked about her being an influence. Little Richard was even more influenced by her singing. But she didn't play guitar like Chuck Berry until after Chuck started playing guitar that way. And she never sang songs about the teenage subculture, which is one of the defining characteristics of early rock & roll.

    I've always loved the chorus, been singing "This Train is Bound For Glory" since I was a kid in the 80s and seen a thing on Guthrie. 40 yrs later I'm learning I'm not welcome on the Train, but that's okay. I've got my own ride. It might be a bit haggard and unpleasing to the eye but it will get me there non the less and when I arrive. We'll laugh and shoot the breeze like always old friends. Maybe even get a poker game going. 🥂
    What a brilliant performance of this song as well.

      What makes the movement and revolution of Jesus different from all other faiths and creeds throughout all human history is that they long and seek and stretch and pull to climb the mountain to reach their Gods,try to purify themselves, wash themselves in that river Ganges.
      Jesus, was God coming to us. He came down to us, to the simple, the uneducated, the poor, and He meets us right where we are, in the muck, in our most shameful sins, and that’s where He does his best work. Yes, this train is bound for glory, Hallelujah! But we are sinful, broken, humans, and we love Jesus! ❤

      @michaelclark9762 7 месяцев назад +2

      @@docrofo2573 She was an impressive, powerful, and very influential vocalist who sang mostly gospel songs. But she wasn't a rock & roller before Chuck Berry and the Memphis Rockabilly artists like Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, etc. were. She most assuredly did NOT invent Rock & Roll. Chuck Berry did, with a lot of help from folks like Fats Domino and New Orleans Doo-Wop, Ray Charles' proto-soul music, James Brown's "everything is a drum" mentality, Hillbilly guitar licks, and the Jump Blues of Louis Jordan, T-Bone Walker, and Elmore James [who electrified country delta blues combined with West Coast jump blues to create "West Side (Chicago)" Blues].
      Listen to her early records from around 1939-1950 and they sound nothing like Rock & Roll. The music sounds more like Mahalia Jackson in the 1950s or big band numbers from the WWII era. From 1950 on she was beginning to incorporate some of the same influences that Chuck built upon, but they weren't nearly as explicitly obvious in her recordings as what Chuck was doing by 1955.
      One of the primary elements of Rock & Roll is lyrics aimed at teenagers. Chuck Berry was the first to combine R&B rhythms, Hillbilly (later called "Country" music) guitar licks, and teen-targeted lyrics. Some historians even give him credit for inventing the concept of "teenagers" as a cultural phenomenon separate from "children" and "adults". Before Rock & Roll in the mid-1950s, kids were considered children all the way until they reached adulthood, having very little independence. The prosperity of the 1950s and the proliferation of automobiles among the middle class changed that. "With his instinct for the ­historical moment, alertness to the fads and folkways of his young fans, delight in an unprecedented American prosperity, matchless verbal facility and autobiographical recall, Berry played a major role in inventing teendom itself - in augmenting its self-awareness and turning it into a ­subculture." - From 'Rolling Stone' magazine following his death in 2017.
      Rosetta Tharpe's singing style was adopted by some early rock & rollers (most notably Little Richard and Elvis Presley), but she did not have a guitar style similar to Chuck until the late 1950s, well after 1955 when Chuck Berry burst upon the scene with 'Maybelline' [which was a rewrite of the popular Hillbilly song 'Ida Red' with new lyrics aimed at teenagers] and followed it with a string of hit after hit from 1955 to the early 1960s. Tharpe's guitar style changed to incorporate Berry's guitar sound into her own around 1958-59.

    Sister Rosetta Tharp was definitely an early influencer of Rock'n'Roll in the early 1950s.

    • @michaelclark9762
      @michaelclark9762 7 месяцев назад

      She was a big influence on Little Richard and Elvis with her vocal style. But the way she's playing guitar in this 1960s video shows the influence of Chuck Berry and Rock & Roll on her, not the other way around.
      She was an impressive, powerful, and very influential vocalist who sang mostly gospel songs. But she wasn't a rock & roller before Chuck Berry and the Memphis Rockabilly artists like Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, etc. were. She most assuredly did NOT invent Rock & Roll. Chuck Berry did, with a lot of help from folks like Fats Domino and New Orleans Doo-Wop, Ray Charles' proto-soul music, James Brown's "everything is a drum" mentality, Hillbilly guitar licks, and the Jump Blues of Louis Jordan, T-Bone Walker, and Elmore James [who electrified country delta blues combined with West Coast jump blues to create "West Side (Chicago)" Blues].
      Listen to her early records from around 1939-1950 and they sound nothing like Rock & Roll. The music sounds more like delta (country) blues, big band numbers from the WWII era, or Mahalia Jackson in the 1950s. From 1950 on she was beginning to incorporate some of the same influences that Chuck built upon, but they weren't nearly as explicitly obvious in her music as what Chuck was doing by 1955.
      One of the primary elements of Rock & Roll is lyrics aimed at teenagers. Chuck Berry was the first to combine R&B rhythms, Hillbilly (later called "Country" music) guitar licks, and teen-targeted lyrics. Some historians even give him credit for inventing the concept of "teenagers" as a cultural phenomenon separate from "children" and "adults". Before Rock & Roll in the mid-1950s, kids were considered children all the way until they reached adulthood, having very little independence. The prosperity of the 1950s and the proliferation of automobiles among the middle class changed that. "With his instinct for the ­historical moment, alertness to the fads and folkways of his young fans, delight in an unprecedented American prosperity, matchless verbal facility and autobiographical recall, Berry played a major role in inventing teendom itself - in augmenting its self-awareness and turning it into a ­subculture." - From 'Rolling Stone' magazine following his death in 2017.
      Rosetta Tharpe's singing style was adopted by some early rock & rollers (most notably Little Richard and Elvis Presley), but she did not have a guitar style similar to Chuck until the late 1950s, well after 1955 when Chuck Berry burst upon the scene with 'Maybelline' [which was a rewrite of the popular Hillbilly song 'Ida Red' with new lyrics aimed at teenagers] and followed it with a string of hit after hit from 1955 to the early 1960s. Tharpe's guitar style changed to incorporate Berry's guitar sound into her own around 1958-59.

    How protestant is this song...
    It would be an empty train...
    Heven railway would fail!...
    The true is that Jesus came for the bad guys...and that train is for the bad guy who reconize him self as a sinner and Jesus as the savior...Truly I Tell you you'll be here with me in heaven tonight! The Good news (Gospel means that) is that all who repent will get on that glorious train!

      This song was older than she. It has been around much longer than the technology that allows audio recordings. It's origins are lost in the mists of time. The first recording of it was "Dis Train" recorded in 1922 by the Florida Normal and Industrial Institute Quartette at the dawn of the recording industry.

    Sister Rosetta got some tobacco, whiskey drinkers, crapshooters a "little" upset...... a little wine, and cocktail on occasions is ok with me. From a health perspective, it is imperative to take note of whether too much liquor may cause a case of alcoholism, or tobacco? cancer in the lungs of humans. But for me, drinker or non-drinker all are HOLY in the eyes of God.....We all have our levels of God's Consciousness and awareness. Sending love to all of my "chew, chew" chewing tobacco friends on a "friendship train" this side of heaven. Thanks for sharing the legacy of Rosetta Tharpe, her lyrics, rendition of a "train" and her meaning of staying "clean" on whatever train you consider riding in or on.
