Sister Rosetta Tharpe - The Original Soul Sister

Not only did Sister Rosetta Tharpe play and sing gospel music with jazz groups in a show business environment, she was also the first artist to incorporate the city blues style from the 1930s with gospel music during the 1940s. A compelling performer and innovator, Sister Rosetta Tharpe was a true star. This comprehensive 81 track set with its fabulous artwork renders all other Sister Rosetta Tharpe collections redundant. Voted one of The 100 Greatest Guitar Albums by Mojo magazine (August 2003).
