[78-L] Mother's Day was: Father's Day - musicians and songs

[Philip Fukuda]

Actually, Mother's Day just passed, so I'll add Sister Rosetta Tharpe to the list. Her mother, Katie Bell Nubin, was an evangelist for the Church of God in Christ.

I think Rosetta's first husband was a COGIC preacher as well.
