[SeoulSarah]

3:14 - 3:20 - Earth, Wind and Fire! lol. Love this. Can't believe I'm only hearing it today!

[RobTheInterpreter]

@SeoulSarah what do you mean??? im confused?

[SeoulSarah]

@RobTheInterpreter The ad lib Karen does between that time is from an Earth, wind and fire song... (or is also done in their song) I don't remember which one right now though. Probably "Love's holiday". Maurice does it lol, at the end. Anyway, it doesn't mean anything. Karen still did an amazing job!

[RobTheInterpreter]

@SeoulSarah oh oh well if you ever remember i would like to hear them do it! i dont listen to them no have i heard of them but still i am just curious =)

[JKel07]

I love Karen!!! I love the way she sings!!!!

[whosdatgirl1]

There is a balm in gilead!!!! Thanks be !

[KRYSTALLIGHT88]

the beat reminds me of i made a choice that mrs.sheard has on her new cd

[dadreamzworld]

OMG, I'm not tryng to leave anything negative on this channel because I'm a big clark sisters fan and have always been. At 2:35 if you look at the ceiling there is a hexagon with a circle around it. and to be str8 out honest that looks like a witchcraft symbol. Hex if you look that up means up it means to practice witchcraft. I'm destroyed by this picture. (tears) BIG TEARS!!!

[thechuckwoods]

@dadreamzworld not burst your buuble but if you look closely its the star of david

[dadreamzworld]

@thechuckwoods Sorry to bust your bubble, matters if you think its a star, it is considered an idol, and it is not of God. They use that symbol in witchcraft.

[LincolnLLoyd]

@dadreamzworld: Be of Good Cheer. The symbol is six pointed. The pentagram, on the other hand, is five pointed, as in Pentateuch, meaning the first five books of scripture. It is the pentagram that would rightly bring tears if it were blended in this setting, chuckwoods does not stir you wrong. I think, notwithstanding your valid caution concerning warnings over idols, graven images and such, this celebrates your descendancy from the House of David and the Power of G-d to make it so. =]

[dadreamzworld]

@LincolnLLoyd Do you not understand so many ppl in the past that did what they wanted to do just like we do today, When God says no idols, he didn't say for us to pic and choose He said no idols. That symbol on top of the ceiling is used in witchcraft it is two pyramids over one another. I know the word of God and that star does not represent Christ or King David. Its Gods house not House of David.

[LincolnLLoyd]

@dadreamzworld: Aaah, u almost had me there - lol. =] FUNny, lady. =] Thought I was dealin with a 'processor' issue. =] I was about2say if such sensitivity came from holiness, then the, granted, extra-biblical "STAR OF DAVID" would hardly be the sole image to gall you. Clearly, in strictually a scriptual context, holiness asks much more of the whole "HOUSE OF DAVID" - Luke 1: 27 - which legacy became yours by adoption. But some others may miss your humor and confuse hex for hexa- six.

[LincolnLLoyd]

@dadreamzworld: To be clear, though, "Pentagrams were used symbolically in ancient Greece and Babylonia, and are used today as a symbol of faith by many Wiccans, akin to the use of the cross by Christians and the Star of David by Jews. The pentagram has magical associations, and many people who practice Neopagan faiths wear jewelry incorporating the symbol. Christians once more commonly used the pentagram to represent the five wounds of Jesus." You nearly ascribe occultism to even orthodox Jews.

[dadreamzworld]

@LincolnLLoyd What part of NO SYMBOL that recognize God do you not understand? If your mother was killed by a gun would you wear a symbol of a gun around your neck? These aren't my words you need to pray to God and talk to Him. You trying to justify why this "Pentagram" is ok isn't going to make it ok. God said no Idol thats exactly what he mean. Its like trying to make a statue and call it your symbol of God. OMG

[LincolnLLoyd]

@dadreamzworld: Why, I do believe you're in ernest. You're really not joking, are you? Apart from our littering something we're both appreciative of, I'm pretty sure something else is amiss. And I'm not sure there's any edificational benefit to either of us or that serves others well, so with your permission, may we take this 'iron sharpening iron' off-line? I wouldn't think a pentagram would be OK at all, but I can't seem to drive your understanding any closer to the distinction. I'll invite u.

[dadreamzworld]

@LincolnLLoyd ??

[LincolnLLoyd]

@dadreamzworld: Thank you at least for sidelining it all with me. Do dry your tears, love. But let's just leave that monkey alone. =] Proverbs 26:4, love. Proverbs 26:4.

[dadreamzworld]

@LincolnLLoyd  Do dry your tears? WTH are you talking about? Find God instead of your idols.

[thechuckwoods]

@dadreamzworld whatever floats your boat

[dadreamzworld]

@thechuckwoods Man don't only the truth. I'm not going to idolize ANYONE or ANYTHING when it comes to the truth. SO your right my boat will continue to float.

[emoboi86]

@dadreamzworld Man, I pray you are loving people perfectly before worrying about things like this. It would break my heart if you sucked at loving people the way Jesus asked you to, and yet were worrying about whether a bunch of lines on a ceiling might mean something about some ancient rituals no one even pays attention to anymore. In love!!

[dadreamzworld]

@emoboi86 Are you an Israelite?

[emoboi86]

@dadreamzworld As a matter of fact, I am! An Israelite who understand's Jesus to be who he said he was!

[dadreamzworld]

@emoboi86 Ok then worry about you and what you are doing and let me do me. xD

[longn4longhair]

@emoboi86 Amen!!!



[dadreamzworld]

@longn4longhair Amen about your own life, you wouldn't know what real love was if it was in your face.

[vangoghmatisse]

KAREN THE QUEEN, AND SHE MADE QUEEN YOUNG!!!!

[Zanessaluver95]

Karen better sing ` !

[liverpuddin22]

I love this! Dude at 3:28 looks like a light-skinned Jamie Foxx...lol

Anyway, this song goes hard! Even if you don't believe in Jesus, you'll sho'nuff believe there's one in Gilead!!!!

[Tearsr]

Love the picture on this video, and Donald Lawrence and Tri City take this to another level even out of sync, let the Church say Amen.



[Tearsr]

Love the picture on this video, and Donald Lawrence and Tri City take this to another level even out of sync, let the Church say Amen.

[snowman1919]

@Faith25able shole do! ROFL

[Yanipooh]

[emoboi86]

The choir leader behind her goes NUTS at 4:27 and I LOVE IT!!!

[MrZukyee]

I think they went up too high. Don't nobody go to no B-major chord (B4-D#5-F#5).

[lb2314]

3:30 and 4:30 lmao me and my cousins used to make fun of them allll the time

[lb2314]

lmao omgosh classic! brings back memories

[kappaken06]

Her hair is LAID!

[tulipandshaq]

I love when her eyes get all big lol I love Karen in general!!

[MultiTerria]

6:04 is crazy wit the thang

[DeeDeeWilliams24]

OMG...this is my favorite Karen Clark Sheard song. She is so awesome!

[1libra1diva]

I love this song! video so off! The guy at 6:04 looks like Orlando from Sunday's Best season 3. The guy at 3:28, had to make sure I wasn't watching an Ice cube video.

[KingSlim29]

@1libra1diva that is Orlando, everybody in Detroit is still scratching their heads as to how he got onto Sundays best because he has recorded albums before but just never made it big, he shouldnt have been allowed on there

[1libra1diva]

@KingSlim29 He was in some stage plays too.

[cebm07]

this song make me feel so good!!....love it Jesus is a balm in gilead!!

[newonjosonis]

this song is awesome

[fredrolee]

I was @ this LIVE recording in the D (Detroit)....WE HAD CHURCH UP IN BAILEY CATHEDRAL (Curtis/Livernois Ave) that night!! We shouted for almost 3 hours str8!!! I miss those "churchin" day!!!

[KBCREW]

now what if she said those were real gems and gold on that dress? #imjustsaying lol

[mudbones11]

the music is off . the video is not in sync , it makes her seem as if she is singing with the cd.

[watch2mefly]

I love this song!

[2000williams]

now this is the Balm i finally waited for you tube to put this out . I had the DVD AND HAVE SEEN HER IN PERSON . THIS IS A TRULY WINDPIPE SONG BIRD THAT CAN SING NO OTHER THAN KAREN CLARK SHEARD OF THE CLARK SISITERS.

[sirjohnsong]

I love this song.

[70GoodGirl]

I love this song!

[onevisioninc]

I was at this recording when i was a teenager! it inspired me alot! Clyde

[gqpostaboi]

exactly when was it?..Feb 1997???

[kurrlymac]

is there a dvd or a video tape with these performances on it,... I HAVE TO HAVE IT!!! :S

[gqpostaboi]

repost this on the same timeline as karen singing!!!!

[Jerald2010]

Karen is awesome in her own right. Oh, that's LeJuene Thompson at 1:06, Erica McCullough at 1:30. BTW, the red Blazer guy is Orlando Wright. He still sings but, he is also an actor. He does alot of David E. Talbert's plays.

[classydancer84]

The man in the red sings for Vickie Winans.. I forget his name though.. If you watch her video for either "Already Been to the Water" or "I Feel Music In the Air", he is the one that takes off her shoes..

[Richograph]

LOVE this song and video...but was they synching off?

[miamac63utube]

@Richograph are you serious? Karen lip sync, ha, ha. ha. never, ever, ever. this annointing on her is so real and so thick she can sing in her sleep and sound just like her records if not better. a rare treasure indeed. I've known her for most of my life, which means most of hers and no matter when or where I've witnessed her singing, it was explosive. real gospel singers don't succumb to lip syncing because the power of the annointing is live and not recorded. Hallelujah!

[jessicalm145]

@Richograph yea, someone put up the audio without actually knowing that its not matching...

[mlowerysmelodies]

~*hehee my god mom...is a just trail blazer*~

[susieQ19876]

Oh,Oh,Oh, Jesus is the BALM!

[JBenz1221]

Is that Tri-City back there?

[ypsiboi05]

yes it is

[lili2cute]

Yup! And Donald Lawrence.

[DezmandeH]

The man in the red suit was really feeling the Holy Ghost when he was dancing.

[tstratton2007]

every single one of them is blessed!!! i just don't know many people who can pulled off the riffs the WHOLE FAMILY be doing with such beauty and grace. wonderfully blessed!!!

[PoeticAmazon]

LOL true that.

[WESTSIDEsoul]

wow! im a BIG karen fan, how did u get dis?

[leavethemonkeysalone]

I apologize for the audio being out of sync... it's either Youtube hating on Quicktime, or the UMG sing their "copyright claim" to mismatch the video/audio.

P.S., ole boy at 6:04 kills me. Everytime.

[qwerty35313]

Thats one of Vickie Winans background singers Orlando Wright.

[rbaker1906]

wow... 6:04 is feelin' that thing! LOL!! i gotta get me one of those red blazers to wear on Christmas!

[ladyjmk20]

no pls dont get that LOL

[uniquesongstress]

@leavethemonkeysalone

Who are the people singing with her? I saw someone I knew, and she was a member of The Tri City Singers.

[LittleJ1576]

@leavethemonkeysalone He looks like the guy that was a contestant on the 2010 Sunday Best Competition!!! Lol

[thelawyer06]

@leavethemonkeysalone Lol! That's his song!

[Emoore80234]

@leavethemonkeysalone he is praising Jesus!!!! LOL!!

[GeraldWright1]

@leavethemonkeysalone lol He's in a lot of plays he's a beast but it cracked me up lol

[thejuanabe]

@leavethemonkeysalone isnt that orlando wright from sundays best???

[optimistic719]

@leavethemonkeysalone, that's Orlando Wright, one of Vickie Winans backup singers and Sunday's Best contestant...

[officiallylovell]

@leavethemonkeysalone Dude at 3:27 was rockin like he was at the club. she had it on groove move. with this playing you automatically forget your problems.

[kamry07]

do u have some interviews from dis video...and thanx 4 posting the clip...

[PoeticAmazon]

As much as I love this woman, I'm pretty sure she took a hiatus from her right mind and momentarily thought she was Michael Jackson as she dressed that morning. This is the song though! PS Why is the audio/ video sync off like that? I hate when that happens.

[Gioblu]

LOL!

[bxrokk]

LMBO!!!

[Vocellist2010]

Lol well Dorindsa said she's the "Michael Jackson" of the Clark Sisters
