   'o, these kids & rock & roll - this is just sped up rhythm & blues. i've been doing that forever.'
   #art #history: sister rosetta tharpe (born #otd in 1915) was simply epic! you should probably go to your favourite video platform & search for her 1964 performance in chorlton-cum-hardy (a vignette of which was featured in the 2001 film, 'amelie', which was when i first became aware of her majesty). it influenced jeff beck & keith richards. enough said. #sisterRosettaTharpe #illustration #music
