The gospel singer/evangelist talks about her mother, the late Dr. Mattie Moss Clark, the early days of COGIC Musicals and her Singers & Musicians Conference.
The legacy of Dr. Mattie Moss Clark is so massive to this day. She has been gone since 1994, she went to be with her king in heaven and yet the Gospel industry still needs her. I live in Atlantic City, New Jersey and some of the churches here dont even have a children's choir, let alone a youth music conference. You have old fuddy duddies with a one track way of thinking that only want old time gospel and dont want to hear hip hop gospel or R&B styled gospel, but Dr. Mattie had a-
vision and she passed it down to her children. She knew that all age groups must be saved and sanctified and in order to do so you have to be able to attract the young crowds. What good is it for the elders to go to heaven while the youngins get left behind to burn with Satan. If it means taking different genres of music and incorporating it into Gospel to change the gang bangers life or the teen homosexual's life, or any youth that's going down the wrong path you're going to need more than just
"Jesus On The Main-Line". I heard TCS say that she didn't listen to secular music but when she realized that her girls were on to something with mixing Jazz, Reggae, R&B Soul into their music and that the world was responding she knew she had to this going so she started the Clark Conservatory of Music and Conferences and Conventions to get ALL AGES INVOLVED in Christ. These nonflexible churches out there need to wake up and get with the program. Our youth needs God too, they're dying out here.
Isn't this supposed to be background music? I can barely hear Dorinda. You need to do better. This is terrible. I'm sure it was a good interview, but I can't focus on Dorinda.
You can't leave us hanging!!!!! PART 2!!!
VERY NICE INTERVIEW.....Part 2????
