On 7 May 1964, in the disused Wilbraham Road railway station in Manchester, UK, the Blues and Gospel Tour pulled in to the platform. And the local TV station were there to film it.
The line-up was the stuff of musical legend and included gospel star Sister Rosetta Tharpe whose guitar playing was hugely influential for the British blues youngsters such as Eric Clapton and Keith Richard.
As Sister Rosetta was being escorted to the platform (see the first 45 seconds of the video below) it had begun to rain. She asked to change her first song. This is what she played.
With thanks to Ursula Martin for the suggestion.
