    Is she singing "This train is a clear train"? If not, what is the word in the place of 'clear'?

    @Morgopolo: Same here. She's a legend.

    Perhaps not the greatest gospel track, but I have a soft spot for Sister Rosetta who was a fascinating character and a major figure of the later 1930s and 1940s (and had an impact on the fledgling British R&R scene in the 1950s). She was a pioneering electric guitarist, and "This Train" was one of her biggest hits. Hence, I'm always happy to listern to it.

    One of Tharpe's hits. She was an excellent guitarist, and was a massive star during World War 2.
