Sister Rosetta Tharpe
Singer and musician Sister Rosetta Tharpe was from the United States. In the 1930s and 1940s, she became well-known for her gospel albums, which included an original fusion of spiritual lyrics and electric guitar. During the ’30s and the ’40s, Sister Tharpe completely changed the game when she cranked the distortion up and combined gospel music with the early iterations of rock n’ roll. She went on to influence Chuck Berry and Little Richard and many more aspiring guitarists of her time.
