Song of the Day: Sister Rosetta Tharpe, “Didn’t It Rain”

Song of the Day 1 Minute

The incredible Sister Rosetta Tharpe, singer and guitarist who was influential in blues, rock, and gospel, would be 106 today. “Didn’t It Rain” was recorded live in 1964 in Manchester, England as part of The British Tours of “The American Folk Blues Festival”. When I’m feeling depressed, I have a list of songs I go to, and this is one of them.
