Sheall323 (1 year ago) This was the concert of the century. Every group there was magnificent. The movie should be remastered dusted off and put back out there. Wow! What great voices these girls had. You can tell they are family.

ShalomD123 (1 year ago) this has to be one of the best is my living in vain performances... the best part being form 5:04- 6:30... it gets it for me
****
Reeca1 (1 year ago) Dorinda is funny!!! "You don't need no reefa!" LOve this performance

****
jrmcleo (1 year ago)  I love the raspy quality to dorinda's jazzy sounding voice...but, Karen is still my favorite Clark Sister...Hands down

****
b10 (1 year ago) Very powerful performance; The Clark Sisters really sang until their hearts content.

****
zleo18 (1 year ago) Whose sings which key when its five of them? I know Karen is soprano, i believe Denise is soprano too. I guess Dorinda is alto and Jacky and Twinkie are tenors?
****
Kinfolk68 (1 year ago)  with the five of them jacky is an alto .. sumtimes she switches and twinkie is tenor.. sumtimes they switch up but no one notices
****
lblu32 (1 year ago) Niecy & Twinkie are both short...they must take after Mattie
This is a great performance...They all cut up on this
****
Kinfolk68 (1 year ago)  lol.. the tallest sister is Karen

****
SLUJINMEE88 (1 year ago)  Thanks for posting this....The Clark Sisters are awesome! All 5 of them: Jackie, Denise, Twinkie, Dorinda, & Karen....Dr. Mattie Moss Clark was not only a wonderful mother, but a great directress....she trained them well.

****
michele6691 (1 year ago) mattie trained her daughters well!
****
chinkyeyes86 (1 year ago) In response to zleo18, Jacky is an Alto/Tenor, Twinkie is a Soprano/Alto/Tenor, Denise is a 2nd Soprano, Dorinda is a Alto, and Karen is a 1st Soprano....
****
tyhutson08 (1 year ago) I remember them coming to England where im from in the 80's they were awesome with their mother who directed the COGIC mass choir over here. We don't get much gospel over here. You Americans are so lucky to have such great music on your doorstep.
****
professorlip (1 year ago) You're right, tyhutson08. We do take the easy access to gospel music that we have in this coutry for granted. I live in Memphis, and I'm amazed when visitors to our city are shocked that we have more than one 24 hr all gospel radio station. I've learned to be gateful for that now.
****
milly4921 (1 year ago)  Amazing, the Clarks Sisters are awsome! What happen to Neicy Clark? Just wondering!
****
Psalmist8 (1 year ago) She's a preacher now. She retired in the 80's to do other ministry. She is now Denise Clark Bradford

****
utbr01 (1 year ago) Classic Clarks--Sang ya'll!

****.
kali8712 (1 year ago) wow looking at this video of a young twinkie makes me see the resemblance between her and Kiki(karen's daughter). They look so much alike.

****
therhythmchild (1 year ago)  I can see a lot of KiKi Sheard in Twinkie's face.

****
Jamorris15 (1 year ago)  I love dis song yalll.....woooo dem sisters kno dey kno how tu sang....

****
danncogic (1 year ago)  Denise is killin it. Go head Denise
****
MzShugr (1 year ago) I think the most amazing thing about the Clark sisters isn't their most amazing voices, but you can see the love that they have for one another.

****

ptrice3 (1 year ago)  who are all the sisters in this video? i didn't recognize some of them
****
ApropheticVoice (1 year ago) from left to right on the screen...jackie, dorinda, denise, karen, and twinkie.
****
BelleAme88 (1 year ago) I've been watching this video ever since I was a little girl because my dad had it on tape. I really thought I was Karen because I used to act like her then I thought I was Dorinda so I learned all the words to this part here; Man I just love them! They are extremely talented and blessed by God!!

****
