from Howcee Productions Gospel · host Freddie C. Howard
The Story Of Sister Rosetta Tharpe (March 20, 1915 – October 9, 1973) an American singer, songwriter, guitarist, and recording artist. a pioneer in her guitar technique; she among the first popular recording artists to use heavy distortion on her electric guitar, presaging the rise of electric blues. Playing For Change (PFC) is a movement created to inspire and connect the world through music, born from the shared belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people. The primary focus of PFC is to record and film musicians performing in their natural environments and combine their talents and cultural power in innovative videos called Songs Around The World. Creating these videos motivated PFC to form the Playing For Change Band—a tangible, traveling representation of its mission, featuring musicians met along their journey; and establish the Playing For Change Foundation—a separate 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to building music and art schools for children around the world. Through these efforts, Playing For Change aims to create hope and inspiration for the future of our planet.
