It’s Sister Rosetta Tharpe’s birthday! Let’s all listen to some sweet electric guitar riffs and thank the Godmother of Rock and Roll for making it happen.
March 20, 1915 - October 9, 1973

It is both Pride and Black Music Month, so it’s only right to start the month off with the Godmother and founder of Rock ‘N’ Roll: Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Born March 20th, 1915 in Cotton Plant , AR, Tharpe was a gospel and secular artist. One of the first to actually do both genres too. She was also a queer woman having a few relationships with women during her lifetime. It is due to her fusion of gospel, delta blues, New Orleanian Jazz, and R&B that we have rock n roll at all. Her chord progressions are so important and imbedded into the genre that without it rock n roll simply wouldn’t exist.

Happy Women's History Month and International Women's day. Here's a little bit of women's history.
Sister Rosetta Tharpe aka "The Godmother of Rock and Roll". She was born in 1915 in Arkansas and started performing gospel music with her mother at a young age. She later became famous for her electric guitar playing and her fusion of gospel, blues, jazz and swing. She influenced many rock and roll artists such as Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry and Little Richard.

Disclaimer:
This is part of a series of polls I want to make. This set of musicians are those who were making rock music prior to the late 1970s/1980s, (That is why artists like Prince and Tina Turner are not featured on here). As well as this not including subgenres of rock like punk, metal, funk rock and so forth.
I also just wanted to make this so I could probably get some suggestions on BLACK musicians that made rock music. It's not a contest, I just want to see which musicians some people like and for this to be a way for people to discover them.
Other Polls:
Punk
Metal
