Shout, Sister, Shout!: The Untold Story of Rock-and-Roll Trailblazer Sister Rosetta Tharpe

When Shout, Sister, Shout! was first published in 2007, Sister Rosetta Tharpe was resting in an unmarked grave in a Philadelphia cemetery. That lack of a headstone symbolized much of what was wrong about so many stories of American music. Now, at last, Tharpe's enormous influence has been recognized with an induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
