Sister Rosetta rocks

The amazing Sister Rosetta Tharpe shreds her Gibson SG on "Up Above My Head," giving traditional gospel an edge that I don't think has been heard before or since this performance some time in the 1960s. The blistering licks start at 1:25 but the whole song is worth repeated listenings.
