FOR SALE - Sister Rosetta Tharpe 78 Record Collection - Inquire

I have about forty five Sister Rosetta Tharpe 78's in very good condition. Most are blue or black label Decca's. I would like to sell them as a group. She certainly is one of the greatest female American guitar players of all time! Here is a little sample of her style....her solo on this Gibson SG starting at 1:24 is beyond remarkable.

Ken,

I have watched that video many many times. It makes me happy every single time! Thanks!

Jerry, Great to hear....me too! She is just terrific. Best, Ken

Uuuuyyyy... I'd love to have Sit Down Servant... Magical... Or I'll spend my vacations in heaven, with Marie Knight .. Oh didn't it rain and so many others.... Wow!
Once years ago I asked who was Sister, as I didn't knew and had never listened to, and a marvellous colleague ---I believe it was in 78-L--- sent me a full CD with copies of her best black label personally series Deccas. Not needed to say that I feel in love with her music so energetic!

We’re looking forward to many nights of our favorite music!!
