Sister Rosetta Tharpe (1915- 1973)
- Musical prodigy as a child, who played the electric guitar, sang gospel with her mother's traveling band and at six years old. She was billed as a "singing and guitar-playing miracle".
- By her twenties, she was a draw at Harlem's Cotton Club and Carnegie Hall. Her guitar playing truly set her apart as she incorporated a pulsating swing, making her the originator of the rock 'n' roll sound.
- In 1944, Tharpe recorded "Strange Things Happening Every Day," further showcasing her aggressive guitar playing style. It was the first gospel song to appear on the Billboard magazine Harlem Hit Parade, a precursor to the R&B Charts. "Strange Things" is the first Rock 'n' Roll record.
- Her legacy lives through rock ‘n’ roll. She influenced artists such as Johnny Cash, Little Richard, Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Tina Turner, Beyoncé, and many more.
