Sister Rosetta Tharpe

[barnflatwyngarde]

After the enthusiastic response to my previous music video postings, I am encouraged to carry on putting up links to some great music.

All eclectic, all interesting and all, in their own way, great.

So here is Sister Rosetta Tharpe performing in a disused railway station in Manchester.
Sheer class from top to toe, and has there ever been a better entrance?

Nice one, I enjoyed that! Before now, I'd only knew of her due to a short clip featured in the movie Amelie, and suspected that might have been shot especially for the film.

I nearly replied to your 'jam session' thread, as the brambles in my garden are about to burst into fruit. The music was good, but the video was seriously lacking in recipes.

Nice one Joshua, I appreciate that brambles should and must be dealt with.

I was beginning to think my musical taste was too "out there".

That was nice, Barn.

I remember buying that at the time. I wonder if the guy can still yodel.

This is a tad unconventional :

Robert,
That's not unconventional, that's Petunia Winegum!
Peter Wyngarde only recorded one album, called "When Sex Leers it's Inquisitive Head".
It is without doubt one of the great guilty pleasures.

Nice one!

Karl,
That was so 70's.
I am old enough to remember Focus, their big hit was Sylvia.
I confess though that I didn't know the organist could yodel.

Strange times the 70's.

My Jewish friends would never call".

Brilliant!

Smashing track Robert.

The thing about the Mael brothers is that they keep moving, refusing to stand still musically.

Here is a much less attractive belly dancer, but he was a character :
