I was there that night. This was recorded in 1991 in Detroit. I wish they had the reprise too. Marvin started it back up and made the mistake of trying to battle Karen. She let him have his fun for a second and then shut er'thing down. LOL Love her!!!
It happens alot at concerts and conventions. The Clarks are known for killing impromtu performances. Karen especially, you can always count her to bring it.
Karen is in beast mode Greatest of all time theres alot of faces in this video bb winans the late kayla parker and many more Karen the Greatest of all Time!
she has that bravery because shes the youngest and if someone say something to her her Husband, Sisters , rest of her family, and most importantly God will defend her... so shes covered
@@dejaizrobinson3858 that part! Karen couldn't touch twinkie with the growls and squalls when she(Twinkie) was in her prime. Twinkie is a force to reckon with
reading the paper while singing shows commitment. That is one characteristic of being a professional and she is willing to take on even the challenge of singing without knowing the words by heart..
This is an old hymn...you can problaby google it or find it in a Hymnal at church! She killed it...didn't she? I have this on cd...but never saw it. I don't know where these people find all of these Clark performances, but they are a blessing! Thanks for posting.
i just downloaded this song on itunes... the post production is so funny. like it almost doesnt sound anything like the video. all these extra horns and bongos lol
How did the choir members keep from dying hearing this eargasmic performance done by the 1 and only KCS? Her performance just makes you want to laugh because you can't believe what you are hearing, remember they are hearing her sing this for the first time as we're we
I have been looking for this!!!! Thanks so much for uploading! I can't find my tape of this recording LOL WOW There's nothing like growing up in Detroit. Up close and personal...watching, singing, loving and making history while the whole world had to watch from afar. Trust me! It was better in person. THANKS GOD FOR THE FAVOR OF GROWING UP IN THE CHURCH IN DETROIT!!!
Mrs sheard my name is holly aka thechosenone, can you put more gospel music videos on my web sites I love your music and love you too and the clark sisters my mom told me about who you are and your music I love gospel music more than seculiar music god bless
This was my favorite song from the album. I use to just play it over and over again. I tore up my walkman when it tried to eat the tape, but I rescued it and it still works. It was unfortunate that my Ron Winans family & friends II cassette didn't. I still have that cassette by the way. I'm glad that the Winans' production studio used high quality matterial for such a high quality sounding choir :-).
omg....my mom sung on rwf&f 3 thru 5 & i had the pleasure of singing on ff5 since i was finally old enough...lol...i was 6 years old when this came out & i can still remember it like it was yesterday...it turned into a straight up revival! & thats ALL THE WAY LIVE right there...back in the days when folk used to take the paper up with them & end up tearin the song up like they had rehearsed for weeks...aaaahhhh the good ole days...
Now she yet ministered this song. Wow. Is that Kayla Parker behind her? And I know I also saw Yolanda Harris and Diane Campbell of Witness back there in the soprano section.
It would be under normal circumstances but she got the request either the night before or that day. So did her sister Dorinda the same night. I think it a testament to the talent & anointing they posses!
I’m pressing on the upward way, New heights I’m gaining every day; Still praying as I onward bound, “Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.” Lord, lift me up, and let me stand By faith on Canaan’s tableland; A higher plane than I have found, Lord, plant my feet on higher ground. 2 My heart has no desire to stay Where doubts arise and fears dismay; Though some may dwell where these abound, My prayer, my aim, is higher ground. 3 I want to live above the world, Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled; For faith has caught the joyful sound, The song of saints on higher ground. 4 I want to scale the utmost height And catch a gleam of glory bright; But still I’ll pray till rest I’ve found, “Lord, lead me on to higher ground.”
i love this vid...she killed it...............i just love old clips like this also..............sometimes i wish now was like back then............in a music way.....i mean like i like the new kind but its just something bout back than
Never forget my favorite people such a honor to be blessed to be in these great womanhood sis in christ mrs mattie most the Clark sisters angie curry love my sisters always and forever such a loving family great women teacher
yeah thats right. Many arts will do that if they have been picked to lead the song at the last minute. This is common at choir reharsals at convention and district meeting in many African-American Churches.
Thank you for posting this I was wondering who sung this song as it was playing on the local radio station the other day but never announced the artist
ooooo i havent pulled that cd out in a min...i switched all my tapes to cd's...i call it the archives of gospel...i gotta listen to that...yeah i think mine had the outlined of women on it as well...i wish i woulda kept all them old tape covers..ima listen to that end doe an get back witcha!
HER EAR IS REMARKABLE!!!
She was reading the lyrics and still killed it!! One of the best vocalist I ever heard
Yes! Killed it reading the lyrics!!!! My God!

And boom😏
That’s so Karen. She lets everyone know she’s the big voice in the room and nobody can come on her territory
Was this at straight gate

@@anthonywilliams488 yes this my home church

The Clarks are on a different planet than everyone else. 😁😇
All of them bring it, EVERYTIME! They never miss💯💯💯
This is pure talent and discipline
This is one of the reasons why they add ”the legendary” before her name...
This lady and her gifting is so remarkable to the body of Christ!!! I love her and her family since the 80's!!!
What a VOICE!!!
Definitely!!!
Mannn how in the world can she still have a voice after singing that song, that was ridiculous! Gurl is real good!
Karen is in beast mode Greatest of all time theres alot of faces in this video bb winans the late kayla parker and many more Karen the Greatest of all Time!
1:55 I had the same reaction as Marvin. I had to throw something real quick!!
I love how she just decided to change the vamp @3:47 #beastmode
1:41-1:51 is the best 10 seconds I've ever heard. This lady is so blessed 😩
That moment definitely puts me in mind of vintage Aretha riffs and runs
😜😂😂🕵🏾
And it gets sooo much better! My pick is 1:00- 1:51
@@rawalton1 I Love That Moment😭😭😭
3:30 to 3:34 has me rolling!!! 🤣🤣
that mic trick....God blessed her with so much creativity and bravery
Karen did everything but tap dance . I've loved her since the early 80's.
She killed this song while readin a lil folded up piece of paper... Lol... Love Karen
1:07 - 1:11 Run was sick
And too think this lady was reading off a paper wow
Kashawn Green yes incredible 🙀
That is what makes her the Great Artist that She is. To God Be the Glory.
Karen what a voice!! I don't care what female singer comes out they will not touch her vocally. God gave her and her sisters the gift to sing!
I just love the Karena and Dorinda. They hardly ever know the words to a song but they always kill it anyway
Right. 😎
By the time they get familiar with the song, they kill it! ❤
@@timmy841212 look for "Leaning On Jesus" she's reading from a sheet of paper on the organ 🤣😂🤣😂
@@timmy841212 ua-cam.com/video/lJw1CEgJmeE/v-deo.html
😂😂😂
Never seen this before. She did her thing as per usual.
she has that bravery because shes the youngest and if someone say something to her her Husband, Sisters , rest of her family, and most importantly God will defend her... so shes covered
this lady is simply incomparable, the best ever!!!! no one is her equal!!
Twinkie in her hey day was the Greatest there is
@@dejaizrobinson3858 that part! Karen couldn't touch twinkie with the growls and squalls when she(Twinkie) was in her prime. Twinkie is a force to reckon with
Aarionne Harris THE CLARK SISTER! TOP TO BTTM RANGE AND GOD GIVEN #TONE
@Tyrell Curry Nobody! Unmatched
3:01-3:15 was EVERYTHINGGGGG OMG
Karen Clark sheard growls like razor blades at 3:30- 3:35
She got that from her big sis/twin Twinkie that was her all day and Dorinda on the dos and I’s
To take a song like this and work it the way she did is Genius…… this lady is truly a musical and Vocal Genius.
This is why i love her. She went off !!
If they ever make a Karen Clark Sheard Life Movie, Jill scott could play as heavy karen and small 2nd chance Karen could be played by Faith Evans!
KCSALLDAY Jill Scott not that heavy no more to be heavy Karen and if she was heavy still I feel she would play Twinkie better
And Karen’s real daughter should play her heavy and then someone should slimmer should play slim karen
@@kevonnn7679 the movie is already out and Kierra did in fact play her mother
Absolutely
Kierra should always play her mother. She did an amazing job the first time.
I Wanna Goo I Wanna Go KCS -The Best
I recall hearing this song before, but I didn't realize it was Karen. I knew whoever was singing wasn't playing around. LOL
reading the paper while singing shows commitment. That is one characteristic of being a professional and she is willing to take on even the challenge of singing without knowing the words by heart..
0:24 - 0:28 is so intresting to my ears
5 people apparently DO NOT wanna go higher.
Bwahahahahaha
LMBO!!!!

She killed it once again
This was my favorite song from the album. I use to just play it over and over again. I tore up my walkman when it tried to eat the tape, but I rescued it and it still works. It was unfortunate that my Ron Winans family & friends II cassette didn't. I still have that cassette by the way. I'm glad that the Winans' production studio used high quality matterial for such a high quality sounding choir :-).
omg....my mom sung on rwf&f 3 thru 5 & i had the pleasure of singing on ff5 since i was finally old enough...lol...i was 6 years old when this came out & i can still remember it like it was yesterday...it turned into a straight up revival! & thats ALL THE WAY LIVE right there...back in the days when folk used to take the paper up with them & end up tearin the song up like they had rehearsed for weeks...aaaahhhh the good ole days...

She really lost her mind on this song...Like for real...SANG KAREN!!!
Now she yet ministered this song. Wow.
Is that Kayla Parker behind her? And I know I also saw Yolanda Harris and Diane Campbell of Witness back there in the soprano section.
Thats Kayla Parker!! Look at you...lol
How I miss the unforgettable and elite voices, lyrics, ministries of Kayla Parker and Ron Winans. Heaven must sound like Detroit in the 90's. RIP
Jamaal A. Bivens Yes Ms. Kayla Parker is there Bless her may rest in peace💖
I seen Yolanda and Tina but I didn't see Diane.
Yes great talents has come out of Detroit Michigan

Who do u know that can rip a song with the words on paper nobody but KCS gotta lvu them TCS

New heights I’m gaining every day;

“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”
Lord, lift me up, and let me stand
By faith on Canaan’s tableland;

Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where these abound,
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.

I want to live above the world,
Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled;
For faith has caught the joyful sound,
The song of saints on higher ground.

And catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still I’ll pray till rest I’ve found,
“Lord, lead me on to higher ground.”
