  • @Classof20012010 Lets be honest. Mama out dressed her daughters for this performance. She looked like a gospel diva in that glittery gown. The Clark Sisters look for that night to sum up in words is this: put some clear fairy wings on the back of those dresses with a dash of glitter splashed on them and they could look like they belong in The Enchanted Forest. They could be Good Fairy's of Detroit in that get up

  • Denise sang soprano Karen sang under here as she dis most time in their harmonies

  • @MrMbell2 "Good Fairies of Detroit"

    Nooooo, LOOOOL

  • Denise wans't singing soprano. She sung alto. Karen sung soprano. Jacky and Dorinda sung alto. And I am supposing that Twinkie either helped Karen or Denise in particular areas. I know Karen's voice from anywhere, Karen is at the end in light pink.

  • @beautyfulewing I truly agree! the Jacksons of the gospel world!

  • Did anyone else feel the Power of God at 4:17 when Dr. Moss sang "Byyyyy the blood!"

  • I think worldly/secular music is a sad oh so sad imitation of Gospel music which is the real deal! So if you are to do any kind of comparisons what so ever - it should be the jacksons are the secular version of the clark sisters... :/

  • @beautyfulewing Jackson Family of Gospel Music

  • I love the Clark Sisters. They are like the "Michael Jackson" of gospel. Such an inspiration, throughout so many decades. I am so appreciative of the time I spent at the DR MATTIE MOSS CLARK MUSIC CONSERVATORY. Dorinda was my teacher. Love you Dorinda.

  • LOVE THIS!!! Thank you so much...& God bless you

  • Dr.Mattie Moss Clark knows she look good she was the trailblazer and trend setter for The Church Of God In Christ but other than that SING MATTIE
