Help!!!!! I have searched for years for a song I believe was recorded by Sister Rosetta Tharpe called "In the Upper Room." I have found Mahalia Jackson's verson but this is not it. Sisteter Tharpe's version was recorded in a faster tempo, more of a blues/rock style genure. I cannot find it anywhere. My father was a pastor and radio gospel minister in Bakersfield, California during the 1950s- 1960s and he used to play the record at home and on his radio program. Unfortunately, my father has died and my siblings and I cannot find the recording anywhere. I remember my father tapping his feet and smiling when this record was played as it brought him such joy. It would mean so very much to me to find this upbeat tempo song. Thank you.
