Keyboardist: Gail NoblesVocals by: Gail NoblesSong: My Lord’s Gonna Move This Wicked RaceSong by: Sister Rosetta TharpeToday’s topic is traditional. Sister Rosetta Tharpe. My Lord’s Gonna Move This Wicked Race. Sister Rosetta Tharpe was a guitarist, singer, songwriter, and recording artist. I like the way she played the guitar. I seen her on some old videos. She attained popularity in the 1930’s and 1940’’s with her gospel recordings characterized by a unique mixture of spiritual lyrics & electric guitar that was extremely important to the origins of rock & roll. She was the first great recording star of gospel musicians to appeal to rhythm and blues and rock and roll audiences. Rosetta Tharpe recorded a song titled, My Lord’s Gonna Move This Wicked Race. She said he’s gonna raise up a nation that shall obey. And do you know what? I see more and more people becoming Christians. The lyrics said: “ Marvel that man if you want to be wise.” That man is Jesus. Sister Rosetta said just believe in Jesus and be baptized. Nicodemus, he desired to know how can a man be born when he’s old. God called on-a Moses on the mountaintop.(Lord, Lord)And he stomped his name in Moses’ Heart. (Gonna raise up a nation that shall obey). I’m Gail Nobles and you’re listening to the Gospel Greats.About the great gospel singers.
