• Glorious 24-track album, including the never-before released hilarious recording of her public wedding ceremony conducted by fellow gospel star Reverend Kelsey before an audience of 25,000 fans in Washington DC, in 1951. A must-have for all Tharpe fans.

• Also includes tracks of Tharpe, vocal & acoustic guitar, in 1938; also with Lucky Millinder & Orchestra, including Buster Bailey, Bill Doggett & Panama Francis; James Roots Quartet; Rosetta Gospel Singers; and on electric guitar with various groups, with musicians including : Sammy Price, Pops Foster, Kenny Clarke, George Duvivier, & Marie Knight.

• Sister Rosetta Tharpe was perhaps the first artist to make the successful crossover between gospel and secular blues, achieving international commercial success in both markets. Her unique style of guitar-playing, especially her embracing of electric blues, brought a new dimension to her delivery of gospel songs.
