"Godmother of Rock 'n' Roll" Sister Rosetta Tharpe performing "Didn't it rain, children" (1964)

@historyinmemes Sister Rosetta Tharpe, born in 1915, was a trailblazing gospel singer and guitarist. Known as the “Godmother of rock and roll,” she blended spiritual lyrics with electric guitar, influencing artists like Elvis Presley.

I’m Erika Askeland— wife, mother, educator, and advocate. I’m running to be the next State Senator for Jonesboro and Bono, because NEA needs collaborative, strong, hardworking leadership, and I am the person for the job.
