She was finally inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in 2018.

 
I meant did Little Richard have an influence or was he also influenced by Sister Rosetta Tharpe. I think he came from a similar background.

Well, per Wikipedia Sister Rosetta was recording for Decca records in 1938 when she was 23. Little Richard was about 6 years old then, so if I was going to hazzard a guess I would say he was most likely influenced by her.

It occued to me that her life story would make a great movie.
 
I did not realize that Jimi Hendrix was the guitarist in one of Little Richard's bands The Upsetters. Seems they did not get along. Clash of personalities.

That's interesting. To quote Johnny Carson, "I did not know that."
