That's Rosetta Tharpe, man.

What we doing?

That's all Chuck Berry.

You know what I'm saying?

He took the Rosetta Tharpe, Chuck Berry, and tried to make himself the king of rock and roll.

But there is no rock and roll without a black woman.

Yeah.

So shout out to, you know, long live the OG Sister Rosetta Tharpe.

Long live the OG Chuck Berry.

And then let's get into...

the mother of grunge music, Tina Bell and her band Bam Bam.

So Seattle, Washington, they're known for being the face and the pioneers of grunge music, but they made Kurt Cobain the face of it.

I think it's Kurt Cobain and Alice in Chains.

But before those two groups came along, there was a band called Bam Bam.

with the lead singer and vocalist being Tina Bell, a black woman.

And she actually took Kurt Cobain on the road with her.

So Kurt Cobain got to see her, you know, pioneer this entire new sound, this new era of music.

And especially being in the Northwest, where it's not like a lot of music coming out of the Northwest, you know, everybody trying to either get to LA or New York.

This was big.

And for her to be the face of it, she's an extreme minority out there.
