Give It 2 U (Explicit) Sister Rosetta Tharpe Sister Rosetta Tharpe (March 20, 1915 – October 9, 1973) was an American singer, songwriter, guitarist and recording artist. A pioneer of mid-20th-century music, she attained popularity in the 1930s and 1940s with her gospel recordings, characterized by a unique mixture of spiritual lyrics and rhythmic accompaniment that was a precursor of rock and roll. She was 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, later being referred to as "the original soul sister" and "the godmother of rock and roll".[1][3][4][5][6] She influenced early rock-and-roll musicians, including Little Richard, Johnny Cash, Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis.[5][7][8]

However, Slim Shady defended himself last week in an interview with Rolling Stone, in which he states that those words mean something different to him. “Gay” doesn’t denote “homosexual;” he claims it’s more like “calling someone a bitch or a punk or asshole.” Eminem will continue to be skewered for his stance, but he has shown he’s unlikely to listen to his critics. So instead of giving him more attention, here’s another solution: Stop listening to him.

Biographie[modifier | modifier le code] Débuts[modifier | modifier le code] Avant que Lester William Polsfuss adopte « Les Paul » comme nom d'artiste, sa propre mère l'appelait simplement « Polsfuss ». Son intérêt pour la musique débute à l'âge de 8 ans, lorsqu’il reçoit un harmonica en cadeau.
