The Godmother of Rock n' Roll, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, was born on March 20, 1915. According to @NPR, Rock 'n' roll was bred between the church and the nightclubs in the soul of a queer Black woman in the 1940s named Sister Rosetta Tharpe. She was there before Elvis, Little Richard, and Johnny Cash swiveled their hips and strummed their guitars. Tharpe, the godmother of rock 'n' roll, turned this burgeoning musical style into an international sensation. #ARYEXWHM #RosettaTharpe
