[quote:Olias 195169:MV8zNDM5NjVfNTY5MjgxNF9ENzhBOUEwQw==] In my opinion, rock and roll was invented with the release of Meade "Lux" Lewis' "Honky Tonk Train" in 1926. Tharpe ia great player and singer and DEFINITELY had a hand in Rock and Roll's fruition. I am glad you are doing this research...ELVIS SUCKS!!!!!!! [/quote]
Original Message
In my quest to find the roots of Rock n Roll I came across Sister Rosetta Tharpe, a gospel singer & guitar player. I've looked into Robert Johnson and other great blues players, but this woman shreds the guitar ( Elvis, Jerry Lee and others were big fans of hers) Be sure to watch at 1:30 into the vid to see her tear that axe up!
