So much more of this beautiful woman that I could post, but I think you get the idea.

Got into Sister Rosetta Tharpe when I was reading about the old folk/blues boom in America and England during the sixties. Renowned producer Joe Boyd was her tour manager and wrote about her in his autobiography. She's a hge influence on 60's British guitar players as well as modern electric players like Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys, who's a big fan. Gibson may have made a reissue of one of her guitar models, but I am not sure. Truly, an incredible artist.
Can you believe that she's not in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame? Not to my knowledge, anyways.
It's a cryin' shame.
SUZI FUCKING QUATRO!!! She's one of the most groundbreaking rock 'n rollers who ever lived!
Musical medicine.
That's because it's The Hall of Lame Cock Rockers, Nerd Pedant Revisionists, and Celebrity Ass Lickers. Rock N' Roll is supposed to be a music for the common people, the oppressed masses and the outcasts of society..... Not a club where inductees can't even get into their own inductions unless they pay 1000 bucks a plate. It's a crock of shit.
Sister Rosetta Tharpe..... Not a Member.
The Runaways..... Not Members. (outside of Joan Jett)

Carol Kaye...... Most Prolific Session Bassist in Rock History. (Not a member.)
And God forbid you play in a musical genre that isn't hip or cool with the rock critics like proto-punk or heavy metal. You'll be like Deep Purple and The Stooges and get in when all your key members start dying.
It isn't a relevant institution. It's about as relevant as The House of "Fuckin" Blues.....![]()
Wow, I REALLY like that song. Good find! Gonna download it!
I don't follow these kinds of things, so if you say so, then I have no reason to doubt you. I just found it incredibly odd that she wasn't in the HOF. Now I see why.
