"A queer Black woman invented rock 'n' roll," writer Casey Gerald declared in a rousing speech delivered at the beginning of the Spring 2020show, held in Brooklyn's historic Kings Theatre. She did. In the 1930s and '40s, Sister Rosetta Tharpe was a rarity — a Black woman who played the guitar and sang both gospel and secular music. She toured, forced to sleep on the bus when playing in segregated cities.
As Gerald correctly asserted, Elvis didn't invent rock 'n' roll — there was Tharpe and Little Richard and Chuck Berry and Jimi Hendrix. And so the night was largely dedicated to Black music; Pyer Moss shows usually incorporate a choir, and this season's was enormous. The"Pyer Moss Tabernacle Drip Choir Drenched in The Blood" incorporated 65 singers and took up the entire stage, performing everything from gospel classics to, Missy Elliott, and Cardi B.
