See this just makes that song actually make sense to me for the first time so you know, hat-tip for that, too, you have relieved my endless puzzlement I’ve had since I was a small child. Wonderful documentary on her life & legacy in rock n rollToday, March 20th is her birthday so can we just take the time to list some of her amazing accomplishments- she was one of the very first great gospel artists who crossed over into r&b, rock n roll, and gained mainstream success- she frequently performed with a racially integrated band- guitar playing was seen as a “man’s” skill, but that didn’t stop her from beating out many guys in guitar battles at the Apollo- she may have been one of the first successful black artists to even have a tour bus with her name on it- this woman literally turned her wedding day into a rock concert for over 20,000 fans- openly bisexual in her private life- she sang with little richard in what would be his first public performance at her concert- she held a successful tour in the UK during the early 1960′s well before the “british invasion” of rock n roll -- source link
