You MUST see her play the guitar. I mean, go look for them now!. "Five Stars" according to BLR. great read. Samveaux said Not What I Hoped For.

Finding out about Sister Rosetta Tharpe was one of the best moments of my life! I've finally found a hero. I could relate to her in so many ways. I wanted to hear all of her music and I wanted to know everything I could know about about her. Discovering this biography was so exciting! Yes! I can read about my hero! While I
