Singer, songwriter, and guitarist Sister Rosetta Tharpe was born #OTD in 1915. The original #soul sister & "Godmother of Rock & Roll" influenced Little Richard, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley & Jerry Lee Lewis. 😮 Great balls of fire! #WomensHistoryMonth #musichistory

A classic black-and-white photograph of Sister Rosetta Tharpe (1915–1973), the pioneering gospel singer, guitarist, and "Godmother of Rock 'n' Roll." Captured mid-performance in a nightclub or studio setting (likely 1940s–1950s), she leans into a vintage microphone with a radiant, joyful smile—eyes sparkling upward in ecstasy, mouth open wide in song or laughter, conveying pure passion and energy. Her dark hair is styled in elegant curls with a small decorative bow or flower accent. She wears a light-colored dress with voluminous, sheer puffed sleeves, a high neckline, and a large bow at the neck, giving her an elegant yet exuberant stage presence. In her hands she cradles a white guitar, fingers poised on the fretboard as she plays. The background shows a draped curtain and soft stage lighting, emphasizing her dynamic pose and the fusion of sacred gospel with secular rhythm that defined her groundbreaking career. This iconic image captures Tharpe's revolutionary influence—blending gospel with early rock 'n' roll guitar techniques, influencing artists like Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Chuck Berry, and Little Richard, and becoming one of the first major Black female stars to cross over into mainstream popularity while remaining rooted in her faith.

"That Box We Sit On" A metal box sits embedded in a field. It’s the everyday hangout spot for two kids after school, but why? One of them lets his imagination run. The other mostly jokes about it. get a physical copy at the link richiepope.com/that-box-we-...

This is your reminder to reuse that post that really zinged last month. Recycle that old sketch. Repackage that comic. It's OK. Social media rewards consistency.
