  Sister Rosetta Tharpe attained great popularity in the 1930s and 1940s with her gospel recordings that were a unique mixture of spiritual lyrics and early rock and roll. She was a black woman leading a white band and became the first superstar of gospel music. Tharpe was an early influence on Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard and Johnny Cash, all of whom grew up listening to gospel music, and she became known as "the Godmother of rock 'n' roll" (PRX)
