Clark Sisters "Jesus Is A Love Song original"

[sevaryus1324]

why didnt jacky get any parts

[D3ZMoton]

-the run that twinkie did in 1:43 was hardcore!

[JDris08]

Sing Clarks!!!!! This song ministers to me

[vangoghmatisse1]

THEY WERE REALLY YOUNG ON HERE, SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[ttrucks76]

Man..Twinkie just gives me goosebumps on 1:29-1:52!! I love this song!

[luhkelsgoinhard93]

Man, they harmony CANNOT be touched!

[ADONISdaCAPRICORN]

OMG 3:25 - 3:55 ... Then Twinkie SMH! iCant with them! I love it!

[fulleffect29]

Karen jammed!!!!

[rbryant426]

i love dem jus because you never kno who will lead. They are all awesome. It's always a surprise. They switch parts, and they kno each other so well. They kno where the other's going before they go there. I luv the clark sisters.

[CeddyJam]

Twinkie was killing the runs from way back & yes, it is unanimous that Twinkie could've also been Kierra's mama. The resemblance is crazy!!!! Dorinda is my lady though. The Clark Sisters, as we can see, have always been phenomenal. It's amazing to me how their mother knew music would be their destinies. I'm on tiptoe expectation for their next release, or album, "Back By Popular Demand!"

[ctclarkcar]

@ thesinger...I don't know about the folded karen up sideways thing...a battle, yes...but a blowout, no maam (sir)

[DDDD1980]

Karen looked like she was just about to get started lol!

[thesinger]

I love KCS and I love whitney...i always wandered about them battling back when whitney came out round 1986...and whitney was fresh outta church and still had gospel twang in her vocal..she wudda folded karen up sideways ...but my my how the tables hav turned!!!!

[bemaniac2]

@thesinger NO WAY! Karen would have ate whitney up then and now dont get it twisted!

[Just869]

@bemaniac2  @thesinger.. I Dont Know, they really both carry different styles.. Thats a hard one!!

[titeyungin]

haaa GREAT GAWD ALMIGHTY!!! STRAIGHT THROWBACK Clarksisters right chyeh!!! These were the days when pants, fancy hairdos, extencessive weaves and makeup was NOT part of their image!! Mai GAWD did Dr Mattie M. Clark had these women DOWN PACK COGIC! Im talkin CHUCH WIMEN ALL THE WAY!! lol..

[Constavlos]

anyone know where the original is?

[BeyonceSoloStar]

@Constavlos The ORIGINAL Track Is Found Off their "Heart & Soul" Album.....It's A RARE CD To Find....Usually You Have To Look For It On Ebay Or Amazon.....But I Paid About $75 For Mine....Lol.....It Was Worth It, I Got 97% Of All Their CDs......

[brandonmalik2000]

Does anybody know the chords to this song?

[dmb851290]

OH MY GOD! I get chills every time I hear them sing this song! And they get better as the years pass.

[SeoulSarah]

Twinkie is a beast! In every rendition!! Love it!

[tb518]

@ 3:14  it looks like Twinkie gave her self chills

[chillie2800]

karen was about to get up..and it ended..

[louis1937]

I remember watching this show when I was a child with my big sister. Saturday Night Sing. Taft Harris was the host. Got to love the 80s.

[prelate74]

Karen look like she don't wanna be bothered.

[ladyjmk20]

she said in an interview she had the biggest attitude when they was younger so that might tell you somethin lol

[soulbrother34]

I still have the episode from when I recorded it back in 1986, thanks for posting this, it brings back so many memories....

[ShalomD123]

1:22 thru 1:53 is the most beautiful way I've ever heard twinkie sing her part of this song! that was so awesome. You could tell Twinkie really felt and truly believes what she is singing about

[Lederius18]

I wish they would all sing this song like this now. I love this and the Finally Karen version.

[fulleffect29]

@Lederius18 The Finally Karen version is amazing.

[519lile]

[ninahdee]

Thanks for posting this. One of my all-time favs. BTW, that set looks sooo familiar. Anyone remember "Saturday Nite Sing" with Taft Harris?

[brooklyn2dondon]

[tombom21]

Twinkie's runs are beautiful and you can see where Kiki gets some of her looks.

[kdivala]

@tombom21 ALL of her looks!!!!!!lol

[phatboysbakery]

I'm Sean Washington of Phat Boy's Bakery. Sang it yall, this is another favorite Clark sister classic that came out in the 80's. I was a little boy in Houston, TX living with my mom. I had been well introduced to they're music by that time.

[corlos19]

hey bluelocks. well denise did sing with them on heart and soul.and the same outfits they got on they wore them on the 88 grammys..she was out of that pic because she was pregnant again.and coouldnt make the shot

[LAJOYCE56]

[broberts90]

[thankfulgurl]

[abenjam2]

[JonnyEason1]

I agree

[nonpareil313]

thank you for posting this-one of my favs and ain't seen it since it came on tv.

[kotrt3]

It's so strange how I've been searching youtube for about 2 years for clark sister stuff but this is the first time I've ever seen this. lol

[jayrock313]

GON JACKY! U BETTA GET IT!

[armckenney]

Honey you dont know Mattie didnt play you were not looking unpresentable in those days no skin honey that would take away from the message that you are singing and portraying!!! She wanted you to feel the anointing and remember the anointing not what they really looked like!!!! I learned alot from their mother that type of holiness for choirs dont exist anymore!!!

[prelate74]

Twinkie was NOT TO BE PLAYED WITH back in these days. Nobody could get with her.

[BronxQT]

I agree. She don't really sing like that anymore. not that often at least.

[prelate74]

Twinkie really needs our prayers these days. Every time I see her I begin praying for her. Her appreciation was just this past Saturday here in Detroit.

[JonnyEason1]

whats wrong with twinkie?

[bemaniac2]

so true. she really sang her heart out back then...

[Just869]

@prelate74 Amen!! You still cant play wit her tho!! lol

[mskim123]

Twinkie Killed This !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[blueblood757]

Which one is Twinkie? I can't tell them apart.

[KeenaButtaH]

the organ player

[LittleJ1576]

Don't be gettin on my girl KAREN you 'darn' HATERS!!!!!!!!!!

[rch1jr]

What was the name of this gospel show they are singing on? I remember it used to come on channel 38 on Saturday nights in Chicago. The host used to be a tall skinny dark skinned brother with glasses

[jllard]

Saturday Night Sing with Taft Harris!

[ShalomD123]

twinkie showed her gymnastic skills from 1:26- 1:52. it still amazes me soo much how brilliant these women are : )

[BRITTANYLEWIS93]

omg wat year was this

[nicowill90]

wow!! that run twinkie did from 1:34 to !;39 was o so crucial!!!! wow!!

[EJONES1906]

I said the same thing!!!!!! whoooooo weeeeee!

[SamuelEmoryDiggs]

OMG TWINKIE!! LAWD SHE WAS SANGIN!!

[EJONES1906]

I remember when they performed this song at the stellar awards Karen held that note much longer.

[rickydraper]

i have been looking for this video for years!!! i even called the tv company in detroit and told them i would pay anything they wanted for this episode of Saturday Night Sing!! they turned me down quickly :(

[nothinevenmatters]

Hey, I want to know what happen to the version of them singing this song from 1996 or 1997 in the church? I had it saved to my favorites, it was a great video and crystal clear!

[anyhu4u]

what happened to the other version that was on utube.with twinkie,dorinda,denise and karen at the church?

[VeryNtycing]

deleted..I was so upset

[antsgirl84]

Twinkie's runs from 1:32 to 1:53 are just ridiculous...Amazing can't even describe it.

[DarkNLovely1015]

WHOA!! Throw BACK video right here!

[upt3rd]

I LOVE THIS SONG

[praiser45]

who is playing the guitar?

[TPCOD]

Dem gurls are the best ever! They created runs.

[cardiyac3000]

Poor Baby, I still think that Denise should be with the group because she IS THEIR SISTER. Whatever happened, I hate it when sisters fight. Juanita Bynum mentioned her on the TBN Special. OOOPS, What was that about. Then again, Dr. Clark was very strict and serious about her musice Ministry.

[Marsena]

I would love to see that too! And I hope there isn't division between them and her. That would be a shame!

[ES7Mike]

Sing Twinkie!!!

[emfamenace]

Uuummm...because that was the style back then. The fact that you even took the time to post that response(and to the others) shows that you are too young, dumb, and caught up to receive even the obvious purpose of the posting of this video. did we even hear what they were really singing aboutt??!? Stop criticizing and breaking down the messengers of the Lord! you should be embarrased, b/c I'm embarrased for you.

[chocolatestar72]

AMEN! AMEN!

[Zylaphone]

Why they got on them Sheets?? LOL!

[missbee101]

they might have been tired..lol but the look sad

[kg2987]

Twinkie is teasin us for real...what is up with these shoulder pads?

[trinatrine]

Kiki looks just like Twinkie

[JonnyEason1]

she sure does

[bigmamahattie]

twinkle clark she look like her mother dont she her

[SY1TK]

Her and rinda both talk just like her

[mitiboo]

they all look sad in this video.

[fmason83]

i see you've been digging in the vault again

[aow10]

I WISH DENISE WAS STILL IN THE GROUP.

[bruhjun]

WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO HER?

[BronxQT]

The story I got was that she kept having children out of wedlock and Mattie Moss wasn't havin it

[blacksglpower]

The sisters could've made peace and Denise could've come back for the reunion. Dorinda and Twinkie have made peace because they both routinely mention her in their liner notes for their solo albums. I don't know about Jackie but Karen definitely still has bad blood with Denise because Twinkie mentioned her once in an interview on BET and you could see how uncomfortable Karen was by her body language and thats wrong.

[COGIC1]

That maybe so...but Karen does mention Denise on an album liner note. I believe it's the 2nd Chance album. Denise is there.

[bigmamahattie]

on here finley album she does meaching her on the album

[Kinfolk68]

If you notice Karen was like that that entire interview... but at that moment all the sisters were shocked to have seen Twinkie mention Denise on national tv Karen just stood out more

[Ilovetheclarksisters]

what's the name of the interview on here ??????????

[Kinfolk68]

No, what i hear is that Denise was having babies out of wedlock and since Dr.Clark was the head of the music ministry at the time she shouldn't of had daughters doing things like like that. So the people said they were going to step Dr.Clark sown but Denise decided to step out of the group for her Mother... but thats just what i heard

[prelate74]

Karen look she got an attitude on this one.

[nowfaith0675]

Wow and I still have the original cassette tape that I actually bought in march 1987 lol.

[JayCroix]

OMG!! Was I crazy hearing that alto note split into minors on "it lifts me and makes me alive"??? 3:11-3:23??? WHAT!!!!

[nowfaith0675]

lol they can do it!

[JayCroix]

That's exactly right, hence all the performances w/Denise singing along on H&S tracks (Jesus Is A Love Song, I've Got An Angel). The original wasn't released because Denise was no longer a part of the group by the release date, which I think was September of 1986.

[nowfaith0675]

exactly!

[bluelocks]

The song "Scars Into Stars" IS on Heart & Soul...So please explain your comment. smile :-)

[JayCroix]

I swear, if Twinkie doesn't look like Karen and Jacky playing that organ! LOL. And those harmonies are SICK.

[definingsexitothamax]

Twinkie sounds so soothing on this!

[JayCroix]

I agree!

[2010mak]

i thought denise waz wit dem during dis tyme

[floridadiva]

wait a minute, the tape started skipping. i missed the "music so sweet, so rich, and complete" around 0:32-0:35.

[loaactnow]

LOVE IT!

[ILKCS1]

1:46 lol

classic twinkie hand motions lol

[ILKCS1]

thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!

[minjimmierodgers]

this is great thanks!

[clark8301]

Kierra looks just like Twinkie on here!!

[chrisgross74]

NOTHING will ever top the Clark Sisters--w/TWINKIE! Thank you for posting. This is AWESOME!

[bemaniac2]

they look too tired! but sounds good though

[denise804]

This version is pretty also. I barely recognized Karen.

[tccd]

I have this clip on VHS and always wondered if this was the first time the sisters "debuted" this song?

[MoSvivor]

No, this isn't the debut of "Love Song." Originally all 5 sisters sang this song.

[bluelocks]

Didn't "Jesue Is A Love Song" appear on the Heart & Soul album which only four of the sisters appeared on, just asking?

[MoSvivor]

I can't remember...I'd have to search...but I tell you this, All 5 Clark Sisters sang on "Jesus Is A Love Song."

[JayCroix]

Denise isn't on the album version, but she did sing live with them before the album was released. They used to sing songs from Heart & Soul even after releasing Sincerely. There's a video floating around of Twinkie and Karen singing "For the Love of the People", and that didn't get commerically released until 88's Conqueror.

[grey601]

not on the album it's just the 4

[MoSvivor]

Type in "Jesus Is A Love Song" a clip of the 5sisters AND Dr. Mattie Moss Clark will pop up. 1986.

[bluelocks]

Yea, I saw that clip, and maybe she just sung it with them live. I have the Heart & Soul album from 86 and only four of the sisters are on that record. I think Denise left the group right before that, I could be wrong but she was not on that album for sure.

[MoSvivor]

Ahhh, Okay. Cool.

[JayCroix]

Exactly. She was on Sincerely but not H&S.
