I think because Sister Rosetta was a Black Woman in that era of time she never got the proper recognition she rightfully deserved ! The ROCK -n-Roll style music was patterned after Rosetta Tharpe's r. .There would not have been any rock & roll without Sister Rosetta Tharpe ll. She toured Europe playing & singing before Mick Jagger put a guitar in his hand or the Beatles starting playing. However those that got a chance to see & hear her were greatly influenced. She toured Europe in the 1930's & 40's. Sister Rosetta Tharpe should be considered & added to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
