Black History 365: Music
Rosetta Tharpe
Sister Rosetta Tharpe (1915–1973) was a trailblazing American singer, songwriter, and guitarist widely hailed as the "Godmother of Rock and Roll". She was the first great recording star of gospel music and a pioneer of the electric guitar, using heavy distortion and virtuoso solos that predated and directly influenced the founding fathers of rock.
Chuck Berry
Charles Edward Anderson Berry (1926–2017), widely known as the "Father of Rock and Roll," was a foundational American guitarist, singer, and songwriter. He is credited with refining rhythm and blues into the distinct elements of rock and roll, including pioneering guitar solos and showmanship like his signature "duck walk".
Tina Bell
Tina Bell (1957–2012) was an American singer and songwriter widely recognized as the "Godmother of Grunge" for her role in pioneering the Seattle rock scene in the early 1980s. As the frontwoman of the band Bam Bam, she helped create the foundational "Seattle sound" nearly a decade before it achieved global mainstream success.
Hackney Brothers: Death
The Hackney brothers—David, Bobby, and Dannis—were the founding members of the seminal 1970s Detroit band Death. Widely credited as the world's first Black punk band, they pioneered a raw, fast sound years before the genre's official explosion.
Frankie Knuckles
Frankie Knuckles (1955–2014) was an American DJ, record producer, and remixer widely revered as the "Godfather of House Music". He played a pivotal role in developing and popularizing the genre, transforming it from an underground Chicago club sound into a global cultural phenomenon.
