Sister Roseta Tharpe:
Really hit home when I was a kid Mahalia Jackson And sister Rosetta Tharpe
was the only ones I remember as playing church music that sound like blues
What shocks me more now reading this article is Rosetta was Born in Cotton
Plant Arkansas That's where I was Born Whats even more Shocking that Lucky
Millinder First name is my Dad first name Lucius Now I got to talk to my
reltives that live in Cotton plant Newport & Brinkley.
