Song of the Day: Up Above My Head

Happy Easter everyone! Every year, this is one of my favorite days for choosing a song. I love old gospel music and lot of older music in general, so I can really dive deep on Easter Sunday. Today we’re going with an old spiritual song that has been performed by many artists, but it was probably most notably from Sister Rosetta Tharpe. A lot of people don’t know who she is, but she is one of the early influencers of Rock n’ Roll. She mostly performed gospel music, but she could shred a guitar like nobody’s business. You get a taste of what she could do in this video. She was inducted into the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame in 2018, but it’s a real embarrassment for the Hall that she wasn’t one of the first people ever inducted. I hope you all have a great Easter Sunday.
