Sister Rosetta Tharpe (1915-1973) was a great gospel singer and a fantastic guitarist who perfectly melded blues and gospel sounds to reach out to the sinners. Here she does her big number "Didn't It Rain" backed by a great blues band: Willie Dixon on bass, Big Walter Horton on harmonica, Lafayette Leake on piano, Lee Jackson on 2nd guitar, and Clifton James on drums.
Didn't it Rain
Here she does an abbreviated, solo version of Up Above My Head, probably filmed in the late '60s or early '70s.
