Videos"Didn’t It Rain"
FINALLY found this one again! It’s from a 60’s BBC show that featured other blues artists as well, including Sonny Boy Williamson and Muddy Waters. There is a Mojo article about it that I will try to track down. Thanks to Leif for the info.
"Up Above My Head"
Unknown performance date (1960’s?) on the show TV Gospel Time with the Olivet Institutional Baptist Church Choir. An amazing performance with a Gibson Les Paul SG custom.
"When The Saints Go Marching In/Up Above My Head"
Rosetta Tharpe and band/Rosetta Tharpe solo (France?).
"That’s All/Didn’t It Rain"
Rosetta Tharpe and Chicago Blues All-Stars. Early 70’s concert at the Berliner Jazz Festival. Tharpe is playing her Gibson Barney Kessel. Lee Jackson (or Eddie Taylor or T-Bone Walker), guitar; Lafayette Leake (or Big Maceo Merriweather), piano; Clifton James, drums; Willie Dixon, bass; Walker Horton, harmonica. The information is a little fuzzy - I’m basing it off of comments people have left on the YouTube video. If anybody can give me some more clarity, I’d appreciate it. "Honor to whom honor due."
Interview with Marie Knight
Marie sang with Rosetta Tharpe. This is an interview about her upcoming CD, "Let’s Get Together" (June 26, 2007).
"Sister Rosetta (Capture the Spirit)"
The Noisettes. This is of additional interest since it name-checks Rosetta in the song. And they’re pretty good.
"’Cause baby when I am laid in earth
May my laughter remain
Like your kiss blew me away
Left your scent on my pillow
Sister Rosetta was playin’
The congregation insane
Drinkin’ in the house with no name"
Document Records. British label carrying volumes 1, 2 and 3 of Sister Rosetta Tharpe’s complete works; Alfa Romeo car advert remix of "What Is The Soul Of A Man" is also available as a download. Lots and lots of great recordings of other artists of interest.
Walmart.com. Wal-Mart has 100 Sister Rosetta Tharpe downloads for 88 cents each. Type "Sister Rosetta Tharpe" into the search box in the upper right-hand corner and wait a second for the results. Audio samples available. Only works in Internet Explorer - no Firefox, etc. (GRRRRR!)
