The One and Only Queen of Hot Gospel

Glorious album including the never-before released hilarious recording of her public wedding ceremony conducted by fellow gospel star Reverend Kelsey before an audience of 25,000 fans in Washington DC. A must have for all Tharpe fans!Sister Rosetta Tharpe was perhaps the first artist to make the successful crossover between gospel and secular blues, achieving international commercial success in both markets. Her unique style of guitar playing, especially her embracing of electric blues, brought a new dimension to her delivery of gospel songs, while she was equally at home in front of 40s swing bands like Lucky Millanders. This collection spans the first decades of her career from 1938 to 1951, and amply illustrates why she was such an influence on major stars of the rock n roll and blues/rock era.
