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.
Love this lady…I learned about her on a local alternative radio station in the 90s.

They called her the Godmother of Rock & Roll, and no one deserved it more.

I love the way she makes her entrance. She just seems like she was the nicest person, one of those people who just loves everyone.
