Tia Mowry Wearing A Weave

Up above my head I hear music

Schwarweißbilder: Pouring rain. The platform of a disused station in Manchester. A middle-aged black woman pulls up in a coach, is strapped to an electric guitar and inspired a young, white audience that listens to the over-laying the platform. No one is less than Sister Rosetta Tharpe (1915-1973), sings the classics since their "Did not It Rain" . From the late thirties
to the early fifties, a gospel star in the U.S., they fell into oblivion and then something was just discovered in the UK again. From there is also this scene from the film 1964.
we have no long-Monte BBC 4, the British cultural and documentary channels, receive, because the frequency was changed. had announced a documentary about Sister Rosetta Tharpe me again extensively studied the Internet and use. And finally succeeded yet - really quite simple if you know how to do it - without readjustment of the satellite dish to recapture the lost program and your living room.
The reward: a one-hour documentary on the life and work of "Godmother of Rock'n'Roll" , as stated in the subtitle. To their Gospel music instrument again and again the border with blues and jazz came, she reached already twenty-five Years earlier for the electric guitar, before Bob Dylan was booed for that reason. In coming to the excellent BBC documentary including Joe Boyd, whose memories I read last year with great joy, and Gayle F. Wald to speak, whose biography "Shout, Sister, Shout! The Untold Story of rock and roll Trailblazer Sister Rosetta Tharpe " is on my shelf. The world is a village.
