“Victor began a study of Indigenous Australian music, painstakingly written by hand, but this was blown up in a controlled explosion at London Stansted airport in 2003 when Victor left it unattended and it was mistaken for a suspicious package.”

»When we think about the history of Rock’n Roll we don’t think about the black woman behind the young white man.«
Endlich mal eine Doku über Sister #RosettaTharpe gefunden.
Sister Rosetta Tharpe - Spirituals In Rhythm / I love to find records like this one in record shops: Never heard of the artist before, great cover art, 10€ and beautiful music (in this case somewhere between gospel, blues and soul). #NowPlaying #RosettaTharpe #Gospel #Blues #Soul @vinylrecords
