Didn't It Rain - Sister Rosetta Tharpe

I love this clip! Sista Rosetta Tharpe (influence by Memphis Minnie) never really left Gospel music. She was the 1st major Gospel Artist to tour Europe. Sista Tharpe would play anywhere in any venue spreading her message of the Gospel. But many of her church fans and supporters abandon her, because of that and when her music started to spread over to the Secular Realm and Pop or "cross-over". The truth of the matter is many of the Great Gospel artists secretly enjoyed BLUES music. The Legendary Queen of Gospel, Mahalia Jackson is rumored to have love to listen to the Empress of The Blues, Bessie Smith!
Sista Rosetta Tharpe 's songs have been performed by the King, Elvis Presley and she was a huge influence on the Man In Black, Johnny Cash. You can see and hear the Jazz, Blues, Gospel and Rock & Roll connections in this video. Guaranteed to brighten your mood! Enjoy!
