The Godmother of Rock & Roll: Sister Rosetta Tharpe plot

Documentary about the career of Sister Rosetta Tharpe. She was one of the founders of rock and roll. Tharpe was popular in the 1930s and 40s, performing as a gospel artist in both churches and nightclubs. At that time she was a special appearance: a black lady who played rocking spirituals on the guitar. She managed to make gospel mainstream by combining jazz, blues and gospel music styles.
