SHOUT, SISTER, SHOUT!: THE UNTOLD STORY OF ROCK-AND-ROLL TRAILBLAZER SISTER ROSETTA THARPE by Gayle Freda Wald
The first biography of the trailblazing performer who influenced scores of popular musicians, from Elvis Presley to Bonnie Raitt. An African-American guitar virtuoso, Tharpe defied categorization. Blues singer, gospel superstar, folk artist, and rock-and-roller, she "went electric" in the late 1930s. Her charisma & skill amazed audiences. Born in Arkansas in 1915, she was the preeminent crossover figure of gospel's "golden age"(1945-1965). Those who saw her perform said she could "make that guitar talk." 262 pp.
