“Sister Rosetta Tharpe was anything but ordinary and plain. She was a big, good-lookin woman, and divine, not to mention sublime and splendid. She was a powerful force of nature. A guitar-playin’, singin’ evangelist.” - Bob Dylan

get a move on ..... )))) and on she did 💃🏻
I wish there was a cast recording but they used mostly all Rosetta’s songs so it got her in my Spotify rotation!
