⁠
Popularly known as the godmother of rock ‘n’ roll, she was a fearless black artist in love with crafting new sounds. Also, she is famous for being the first great recording star of gospel music and among the first gospel musicians to appeal to rhythm and blues and rock and roll audiences. ⁠
⁠
She was a pioneer in her guitar technique. Her guitar skills influenced the development of British blues in the 1960s. Her flamboyance, skill, and showmanship on the electrified guitar played a vital role in the conception of rock & roll as a genre of music.⁠\n
