  • I WAS FIRST LIFTED UP BY THE CLARK SISTERS AT FAT TUESDAY IN SEATTLE IN 1986

    AND THEN AGAIN AT THE FILMING OF "GOSPEL" AT THE PARAMOUNT IN OAKLAND IN 198? ENDOW ME IS TRULY A CLASSIC AND BECAUSE OF THESE BLESSED SAINTS OF GOD I WENT ON TO JOIN NORTHWEST CONNECTION COMMUNITY CHOIR AND AMASS ONE GREAT GOSPEL MUSIC COLLECTION.....

  • A HARD TO FIND CLARK SISTERS CD IS ON AN EBAY AUCTION NOW! The CD is called "Heart and Soul" Starting bid is $5. Hope I win!!!! Whooohoooo!

  • hey every1,make sure to stop thru and comment my new clark sister videos i made,thanks

  • The Clark Sisters are so anointed. Karen's gift is amazing. Thank God for her, and for her yielding to Jesus Christ....Hallelujah!

  • Thank God for the vintage video!! I love and value the gift to the body of Christ as music minstrels and psalmist that they are and for the legacy of Dr. Mattie Moss Clark. I celebrate the Clark Sisters for staying on the course and always giving us refreshement in the music ministry. I love the way they take their older songs and keep them alive. Thank you Pastor Powell!!

  • Karen looks and sounds different. She was great back then, but she is a Beast now.

  • ENDOW ME LORD, THANK U LORD

  • wow this is a through back forreal... listen to the one live from charlotte.. it's crazy some ofthe runs they do!!

  • These are some sanging sistas!! Yea they are from COGIC!! And Im not even from COGIC!

  • I promise you ... no one does phrasing like these women ... between arrangement and range, along with an immense dose of anointing, these SISTERS were noticed, and became ICONS - 5:11 ... the way she came in was classic!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!

  • What a gift to gospel music they (Clark Sisters) are, thank YOU GOD!

  • its crazy that this clip...i actually still have the live recording on VHS!!!! (remember those)

  • Wow Karen Sanging I love his song and I love the remake by koko, faith, lil mo, and tasia..aint nothing like the original but they do a good job!

  • I DIDNT REAlly like the remake its cool but they dont sing with soul like TCS

  • 1:06-1:12; amazing! Karen sounds a lot like Faith Evans on this song, except Faith doesn't have the vocal gymnastics like Miss Karen. She truly has a God-given talent!

  • dang i was wrong ok give it up i love the song

  • um why is every body worried about her singing listen to her words of this song let it touch you endow in your spirit dont worried about her singing at all you go karen clark sheard

  • actually u all r wrong! twinkie is leading the song! she was skinny back in the day! i would know that if u were a true clark sisters fan but they are singing their butts off!:)

  • Twinkie's on the organ,silly! lol

  • that is twinkle clark on organ karen clark sheard is singing lead on this song so your wrong shes right you dont know clark sisters at all in twinkle clark was never skinny at all she was allways heavey every time i saw her she lost alot weight

  • You're so dumb!!!! Twinkie's leading what song? This one? That's karen!!! LOL

  • that dont even sound like twinkie you aint no clark sister fan like u thought after every high note twinkie growls! AND TWINKIE NWVA GOES INTO WHISHPER REGISTER LIKE KAREN THANKS!

  • karen is singing like a fool. she was just going for blood. she is "the best singer on earth" oh elshandio my God endow me with a piece of her anointing

  • This song blesses my soul! Karen is definitely singin'!

  • fav. part..."but i got news for u"

  • you betta preach karen

  • et-ta-fuh-ka-shun

  • I love this song.

  • they need put all the old clark sisters clips up

    when she sing this live with her sisters i would like to know put back up jesus for ever more thats my jam

  • yes, i love this song to. it truly ministers to me.

  • i love this song so much i love being save

  • i love you karen!!!!!!!

  • i love this version too!! yo can just feel the power!! it's a great alter call song~

  • Karen is amazing, she can sing very low and she can sing high. I didn't even know that was her singing because she is singing so low. I thought that was one of the other sisters.

  • ya I wish she was my mom lol i love this version of this song but who was singing singing soprano ?twinkie?

  • yeah twinkie went up to do soprano on this one.

  • thats my girl

  • jacky u mean she is a tenor

  • wat u talkin bout karen is a soprano u talkin bout jacky she sings low

  • Karen is singing low on this song. When she starts, she is singing in the alto range, so I thought that was Twinkie singing and not Karen. I did not think that was Jacky. Karen can sing alto or soprano.

  • Karen is leading the song. What are you talking about?

  • "Endow" is nowhere on the new Clark sisters album. The live album is great and everyone should go out and buy it!

  • Thanks for letting me/us know. I was given this information before I bought the album. Now, The Clark Sisters (Original writers and singers of Endow Me) have dropped a new album! These women have never compromised for wealth. They have always rode with those of us who only listened to Gospel music growing up and spent our dollars on gospel performers only. The R&B world is now trying to cut into the gospel dollars. So be sure to let these sisters know that you appreciate their commitment.

  • I like the way that karen sings this song, nice and slow you can feel the music and the dedication she puts in the lyrics i like this version much better than the new version, it was a bit to rushed and to many strong voices combined couldnt really get the feeling

  • this is dope fo sho...thx for posting!!!

  • That new CLARK SISTERS album dropped! Go and pick up! The ORIGINAL Endow me is on it! The whole album is FIYAH!!!

  • can someone tell me how where or who i can find the clark sisters heart and soul lp im desperate to get my hands and soul on it

  • Good God Almighty, I'm ready to go on and see what the end gone be after that one

  • gETTING cHILLS!! sang IT karen!!! u preachin!!

  • endow me mmmmm glory!

  • This is so beautiful. What an incredible voice. I had never heard her sing before I came cross this. Thankyou for sharing this.

  • Anyone want to hear the blessing of God's favor? It's in these ladies voices. Beautiful Song.

  • My God everytime I hear Karen I shout! Next time imma put my dancing shoes on..I wish I had her gift..A sister can sing and harmonize but not even close to this..Thank You Lord for this!

  • That woman is sangin that song.

  • anyone has James Moore's version???

  • Scorpion & Labell wateva, hey, who cares what she was tryna do. Music is music. Secular music is called hip hop, R & B, Jazz, Rap, Old Skool, Pop, and Church Music is called Gospel, God created it all & gave talent through all his children. SO SHET IT UP

  • You shet it up. You don't even know what you are talking about. It's not like anyone here reprimanded Karen for singing anything. He/she asked a legitimate question & all I did was answer to the best of my knowledge. No beef.

  • Its all good. My bad, my mistake, I do like to say Shet it up though. LoL

    No Beef, be easy pimpin!!!

  • No, that's not true. Karen has had many offers throughout the years for secular recording contracts though.

  • nondessant you're right i always thought tamela reminded me of Karen too cuz she has that powerful annointing upon her life just like karen now i need some clarification before karen got sick was she tryna sing jazz/or R&B? thats what i heard and i dont like to believe what i hear about my baby cuz i know she is fully committed to Jesus

  • This version ministers to those who are saved as well as those who are not. The BET Celebration version was a mess compared to this one. You can actually hear the lyrics in this one. and they are not all screaming.

  • every now and then (this is my personal opinon) tamala mann remind me of the old karen clark-sheard...especially when she speaks

  • YES YES!! I remember when Tamella SAANG Speak Lord on TBN lasy year and it remined so much of when KCS during the "Finally Karen" days

  • these woman are a blessing from god

  • this is truly a great video...thanx for uploading it!

  • Wonderful! Thanks for this video!

  • do you have any more songs from this concert?

  • They deleted now.

  • ya I agree. This is a church vid for God. Have respect at least for that. And take the cussin else where. Not judgin , just sayin. It ain't that deep really.

  • Don't use profanity on yo comment to this video clip. I don't know whats your promblem. I don't care how mad you are, you take to God and let him work it out. Please don't use profanity; because if a person use profanity its a sign that you don't know alot of proper English. So take with I said Mr.or M(r)s. czahair and let it endow in your spirit. God Bless you.

  • did you see that HOT MESS they did on the gospel fest they sounded terrible

  • Sang Yall!

  • dang i thought that was denise at the beggining

  • Ya'll need to take that kind of talk to private message. I don't wanna read no cussing on MY videos! Have some respect. Who cares about Coko & what note she may or may not have hit.

  • dont be no fool she did not recieve no atanding ovation for singings a patti song  she aint that good

  • yes the **** she did cuz I went to the concert the stupid trashbag. Itw as this summer in Richmond Virginia at the landmark Theatre and they sung "If Only You Knew" by Patti Labelle Coko went for the last note and she hit it just as high or higher then Patti, She got a standing Ovation from everyone in there, and If I get the vid I will post it on here

  • you all know that ckb1987 did not have to curse in his comment.

  • look at me co-signing...but i TOTALLY agree!!!!

  • Coko, Faith, Mo and Fantaisa Did an great job on this song they really otuch the lyrics

  • The arrangement on this performance is sick!!! I love it!!!!

  • I like both versions, this one and Coko version...

  • roootfl @ Bobo!!

  • Oh have mercy. . . This along with many others of the Clark's bank are pieces that cannot be touched. It hurts my heart to know that Coko and Bobo are redoing thier music. They can't even sing thier own music, they have destory someone else's. I'd like to remember it like it was. No shade.

  • well the new song that faith evans coco have i dont like it the orignals singers is better then them im sorry to say the clark sisters own that song as gospel jam

  • But Coko ws on them notes and she is a first soprano that gurl got skills she have sung Patti Labelle sungs and hit the same notes with no problem.

  • had to revisit and play this, Good God from Zion, Karen singing from her spirit for real!

  • you right y compare..its best to sing the song ur way and not try and do it like the other people...make the song as your own...as long as you are glorifying Him its kool...now dont jack up the song..lol

  • i love this song listen to to this everyday this is a gospel jam i love it

  • I dont think Fantasia them tried to outsing the Clarks...they did it there way...why COMPARE???

  • They kilt this.. im sorry but the R&B girls doesn't come close to this.

  • The Hell they didn't Coko has a voice on her faith too all them gurls can sing wait until you hear them live they gonna tear it up plus Faith knows Karen and karen told her to go ahead and do the remake.

  • feeling kind of down and a soft voice said endow me and my whole day turn around,god is just that good,a few montha ago i would have did some drugs but now i can listen to karen clark sheard and the clark sisters god is so good if you only know were i came from

  • All the Clark sisters are blessed with awesome voices and their harmonies are unsurpassed ...

  • kcs really help me out with her last cd its not over i really wanted to end ny life but song num. 3,4,5,6,7,8 brought me out

  • karen clark sheard is a gift from god heaven sent stop talking about her and pray 4 her

  • does anyone have the remix version by the clark sisters?

  • Coko has the highest range voice on the song but all the sisters rip it

  • WHAT A VOICE!!!

  • i think that faith is the more clark alike sounding than any of them her and karen clark voices remind me of each other sometimes.

  • Faith's voice does have some similar qualities to Karen as far as the texture of her voice goes. When they did "Nothing" on "Finally Karen", I had a hard time telling who was who.

  • Can someone post a version of the "annointing" from the "More than A Conqueror" album.  That would be the bomb.

  • I just heard the remake as well...Fantasia hands down has the best Clark-Like vocal! But all those women are truly anointed.

  • Where did you hear it. Is it on youtube?

  • Please Tell Me Where Yal Heard It At!!!

  • ITS ON YOUTUBE

  • I just heard the full-length version of the remake. Them ladies are SANGIN their heads off!!!

  • Where did you hear it. I would love to hear it. Fantasia is one of my favorites. Not taking away from the others because I love them to.

  • Karen looks just like kiki

  • i would hope so

  • LOL!! I was thinking the same thing! Or rather, KiKi looks like her "wayyy back then" mom.

  • no. kiki looks like karen. :D

  • A snippet of the "Endow Me" remake featuring Coko, Lil' Mo, Faith and Tasia!!

    Sidenote: They sing in that order too (in this particular clip)

  • Actually the order is Fantasia, Faith, Coko nad Lil'Mo

  • were can i see that one

  • If there is any group of sisters out there that can come close to this....just enter another line of work. lol!!!

  • TRY THE PACE SISTERS

  • The Pace Sisters are pretty wonderful but you're right...I don't think anyone can compare to The Clark Sisters!!!

  • People sleep on Jacky, but she holds dat bottom DOWN! How does everyone think the four of them will be voices? I think Coko's gonna be Sop1, Lil' Mo Sop 2, Faith Alto and Fantasia Tenor and they'll all get a lil' taste of the lead.

  • She did hold that bottom down on this. Twinkie was singing soprano, and Dorinda held down the alto. However most of the time when they sing Twinkie holds down the bottom, of course Karen sings soprano, and Jackie sings strait alto while Dorinda sings around the alto(meaning she sings alto but with riffs and runs in there}.

  • I thought Jacky normly sings tenor. However, they alternate between whoever leads a song. I know Denise sang soprano also.

  • I thought Dorinda was singing Soprano on this. That's what they usually do, when Karen leads, Dorinda will take over soprano.

  • Wow, that is going to be really good. I can't wait.  All of them can blow. Especially my girl Fantasia. I agree, Fantansia will probably hold down the tenor spot since she is an alto. But I think Faith could pull of tenor too.

  • YEH I think thats about right. All of them hav pretty high voices, but Coko is the "true" soprano of the alot. Faith and Mo are mezzos...Tasia in an alto with a high voice. But they all have great lower reigisers too so i hope they exhibit some that and don't run/holla all over each other.

  • So true!! I Love every song she leads. Y'all gonna get off Jacky! LOL!!!

  • Fantasia is confirmed on this track with Coko, Lil' Mo and Faith! Boy I can't wait...

  • Where'd you hear that and what's it gonna be on?

  • MAN!!!! what ever happend to saturday nite sing?

  • it became competition without the annointing....but I grew up in it and I miss it too.

  • wonderful clip...did anyone hear those runs twinkie did in the background when karen was talking starting at about 6:10-the end? especially at about 6:17! phenomenal!

  • Oh course Karen's vocal are out of this worl but did you hear that organ........Dynamic Musicianship...when the accompaniment is that fliud and exilerating you can't help but to sing at full capasity

  • As far as the old stuff, they did a tribute to their mother singing a few of her old songs...Salvation is Free, Wonderful Wonderful, & another one. Um, they did Miracle. Jacky sang "God Understands All" as a part of her solo set and Dorinda did "I Won't Let Go" for her second song. Anyone know of anything else, they can add on.

  • Oh thanks.

  • They sang My Redeemer Liveth, Wonderful Counselor, Name it Claim it, World, Pray for the USA and many others..can you please add the clip of them singing Hallelujah the night of this clip that you added.

  • What other songs did they sing besides this? Anybody know?

  • I luuuuuuuuv the Clark Sisters!! Thank you for putting this video out for everyone to see and enjoy!

  • It gave me chills

  • old skool karen sounds so much like twinkie its ridiculous

  • I know thats right!

  • The Clark Sisters are the "baddest" girls on this planet!

  • I don't know who all went to the Clark Sisters Live Recording: One Last Time, but when they took it back and did this song.....it was truly awesome

  • Yes it was say it 1 more time Didn't they TEAR it DOWN!.......L0L!

  • What other songs did they do? Did they do any new songs...give some details about the recording.

  • Yes, they did new stuff for the first half & old stuff on the 2nd half. Classic stuff that includes Endow Me, Jesus Is A Love Song, Name It Claim It, Redeemer Liveth, Angels, Pray 4 The Usa, Center Thy Will, I Tried Him & I Know Him, Vain, Sunshine, For The Love of the Ppl,& more.

  • Thanks for the response.  Wow! That's gonna be a double cd! Hey, did you ever upload that footage from Twinkie's Live in Charlotte DVD that showed Twinkie giving the sisters difficult runs that they couldn't repeat?

  • I like the FK remakes better than their originals. I guess because they were recorded live while the originals are studio recorded & dated with cheesy production.

  • i didnt say that the original studio recordings were better than Karen's remakes.... im talkin about the live performances of those specific songs on the TV program where this video came from... thats about as live as it gets!!

  • this is definately footage from "Saturday Night Sing" (like an old school bobby jones show) when the sisters did a 2 part concert... the best songs in my opinion was the original "Jesus is a Love Song" and "Balm in Gilead" much better than the Finally Karen Remakes! i actually called the station yeas ago to get these tapes and they said NO in Jesus name :( do you have anything else from this show??

  • Did yall see that shifting move that Dorinda and Jacky did around 6:19......that was BAD Dorinda really killed it!..........the Gurls are just plain BAD!

  • Dorinda was FEELIN' it lol

  • Coko from SWV should do good with her part

  • I think its funny how people think that's not Karen! Yall that is Karen, she leads the original as well.

  • If you listen to the congregation at about the 16 sec mark, you could hear someone say "Come on Karen". At least that's what it sounds like.

  • I love this song. I was a bit surprised to see Karen sing like this.. This is out of her contemparary style. Nonetheless its beautiful gospel music.

  • PEOPLE, IT'S KAREN!!! Denise sounds NOTHING like that & "Endow Me" has always been KAREN'S lead. She sings on the original album version & everytime they've ever sang this song, minus the 02 remake. This footage is OVER 20 yrs old, you can't expect everything to be the same....all of them have had changes in every area. Other than Neicy gettin involved in a seperate ministry, nobody knows what happened between them...just a bunch of rumors.

  • I agree, this is definitely karen. Altho I think it's on "Twinkie Clark and Friends" Or "Twinkie Clark Presents", Twinkie does the lead on this song and it's absolutely awesome.

  • I know what your talking about U talking about the video they did when they all wore black right?.......That was "Twinkie Live from Charollte"......And Twinkie was leading it thats an updated version of this song!.......I knew what U was talkin about man cause I got that video too, just dont know how 2 post it yet!

  • Wasn't Karen pregnant with KiKi at the time? Ya'll, I don't c how Karen's style could've changed that much in just a few years. That "Well!" don' sound like Karen at all, and neither does that falsetto. Wonder what happened 2 Denise cause i neva c her wit her sisters. Did they have a fallin out?

  • Who is Denise and who is Jakie? I had no idea there was more of them. I know that aint Karen cause even though she has that Clark Sisters sound, she sings a lil defferently than Karen. Plus she don' look like Karen.

  • It's Karen alright! Back in the Day... Long time ago!

  • What R U taking about!........Is Karen alright?

  • He said "IT'S Karen alright" confirming that its indeed Karen singing in the video since there was so much confusion going on earlier.

  • O my I'm sorry! I was misslead.......L0L!

  • I don't know ya'll... That looks like Denise to me!!!

    N-E-Ways, I'm waiting for a reunion with ALL of my Clark Sisters plus some nieces, nephews, and cousins too!!!!

  • i never heard denise actually sing....i wish i could have

  • Karen know she was singing.....

  • I'm loving these videos

  • This is definitely after Denise was no longer in the group. Denise does have a higher voice than Karen, but in the harmonies they both share soprano. Whenever Karen led, Denise sang high...after Denise left, it was mostly Twinkie singing high when Karen led...correct me if I am wrong, but I think Denise was out of the group right after the Is My Living In Vain album? This song was, though, originally on the You Brought the Sunshine album (pre-vain), which probably starts the confusion...

  • Denise was out of the group like a year after the sincerely album.

  • yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss­sssssss

  • ol skool dont find many artist today that still take it back to this. Lol the pioneers of gospel look a hott mess but thas ok they was blowin!!!!! Lovin it thanks for posting.

  • OMG, Saturday Night Sing! You took it back!! Love it! =)

  • loved the falsetto note.

  • This is the Karen I love! Not that I dont love the Karen of today... but there's just a difference in her quality of sound, performance and ministry to me... This is just my opinion... not trying to start a 3 day arguement or anything... LOL She still a beast tho... dont get me wrong!! LOL
