I promise you ... no one does phrasing like these women ... between arrangement and range, along with an immense dose of anointing, these SISTERS were noticed, and became ICONS - 5:11 ... the way she came in was classic!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!
"You dont need no dope, all you need is a dose of the Holy Ghost, well"! "Yeah, Im high. I feel real good. (with the power) I aint had no wine (with the power). I aint had no weed (with the power). Im so gad i know Jesus." One day i heard my 4 year old niece sanging these verses. I was so tickled. LOVE THIS SONG & THEM SO MUCH!
I WAS FIRST LIFTED UP BY THE CLARK SISTERS AT FAT TUESDAY IN SEATTLE IN 1986 AND THEN AGAIN AT THE FILMING OF "GOSPEL" AT THE PARAMOUNT IN OAKLAND IN 198? ENDOW ME IS TRULY A CLASSIC AND BECAUSE OF THESE BLESSED SAINTS OF GOD I WENT ON TO JOIN NORTHWEST CONNECTION COMMUNITY CHOIR AND AMASS ONE GREAT GOSPEL MUSIC COLLECTION.....
I have been singing this song since I was a little girl. Thankful for my parents for playing the Clark sisters and the winans in our home. SING KAREN!!!
I agree... I love the clark sisters.. they were great back then but now they are all beast.. Karen 1st , then dorrinda, then twinkie and then jackie...they are all are so very amazing in their own ways... and i love karen's daughter kiki too she is a beast too when it comes to music.. they are a blessing to us all send from the lord above.. god is so amazing..
Karen & Twinkie look most like sisters than any other combination. Actually, its DENISE who is higher in vocals than Karen....she sang first soprano in the group. I keep saying, this was AFTER Denise had left the group. Plus, you can listen to the original...."Endow Me" has always been KAREN'S lead.
"Twinkie: Live In Charlotte" video. I don't know if you've heard it before or not, but that version is nothing like this. They don't have the verses & it's Twinkie singing lead with the rest on background. I still love that one too.
Yes, they did new stuff for the first half & old stuff on the 2nd half. Classic stuff that includes Endow Me, Jesus Is A Love Song, Name It Claim It, Redeemer Liveth, Angels, Pray 4 The Usa, Center Thy Will, I Tried Him & I Know Him, Vain, Sunshine, For The Love of the Ppl,& more.
Faith's voice does have some similar qualities to Karen as far as the texture of her voice goes. When they did "Nothing" on "Finally Karen", I had a hard time telling who was who.
ol skool dont find many artist today that still take it back to this. Lol the pioneers of gospel look a hott mess but thas ok they was blowin!!!!! Lovin it thanks for posting.
I sometimes get a kick out of reading the comments!!!! I agree... with the ones that say, "there's no competition in Gospel music...just in how many souls they can minister to!!!! Thanks for posting this video that I've never seen ScOrpion...and please don't let some foolish comment deter you from being a blessing to others. I am blessed becuz of your video...I claim the same for you....THANK YOU!!!!
My God everytime I hear Karen I shout! Next time imma put my dancing shoes on..I wish I had her gift..A sister can sing and harmonize but not even close to this..Thank You Lord for this!
She did hold that bottom down on this. Twinkie was singing soprano, and Dorinda held down the alto. However most of the time when they sing Twinkie holds down the bottom, of course Karen sings soprano, and Jackie sings strait alto while Dorinda sings around the alto(meaning she sings alto but with riffs and runs in there}.
YEH I think thats about right. All of them hav pretty high voices, but Coko is the "true" soprano of the alot. Faith and Mo are mezzos...Tasia in an alto with a high voice. But they all have great lower reigisers too so i hope they exhibit some that and don't run/holla all over each other.
This version ministers to those who are saved as well as those who are not. The BET Celebration version was a mess compared to this one. You can actually hear the lyrics in this one. and they are not all screaming.
As far as the old stuff, they did a tribute to their mother singing a few of her old songs...Salvation is Free, Wonderful Wonderful, & another one. Um, they did Miracle. Jacky sang "God Understands All" as a part of her solo set and Dorinda did "I Won't Let Go" for her second song. Anyone know of anything else, they can add on.
People sleep on Jacky, but she holds dat bottom DOWN! How does everyone think the four of them will be voices? I think Coko's gonna be Sop1, Lil' Mo Sop 2, Faith Alto and Fantasia Tenor and they'll all get a lil' taste of the lead.
PEOPLE, IT'S KAREN!!! Denise sounds NOTHING like that & "Endow Me" has always been KAREN'S lead. She sings on the original album version & everytime they've ever sang this song, minus the 02 remake. This footage is OVER 20 yrs old, you can't expect everything to be the same....all of them have had changes in every area. Other than Neicy gettin involved in a seperate ministry, nobody knows what happened between them...just a bunch of rumors.
Ya'll need to take that kind of talk to private message. I don't wanna read no cussing on MY videos! Have some respect. Who cares about Coko & what note she may or may not have hit.
1:06-1:12; amazing! Karen sounds a lot like Faith Evans on this song, except Faith doesn't have the vocal gymnastics like Miss Karen. She truly has a God-given talent!
I understand you as well. However, that song was written with Karens voice in mind. Just like "You Brought the Sunshine" could only be led by Twinkie, and "Determination" can only be led by Dorinda. There's actually a clip of them singing "You brought The Sunshine" on here, and Karen didn't lead it nearly as good as Twinkie would have. And of course none of them could play like Twinkie. But singing is another thing. They all have that. Mattie gave it to them.
this is definately footage from "Saturday Night Sing" (like an old school bobby jones show) when the sisters did a 2 part concert... the best songs in my opinion was the original "Jesus is a Love Song" and "Balm in Gilead" much better than the Finally Karen Remakes! i actually called the station yeas ago to get these tapes and they said NO in Jesus name :( do you have anything else from this show??
I like the FK remakes better than their originals. I guess because they were recorded live while the originals are studio recorded & dated with cheesy production.
Oh have mercy. . . This along with many others of the Clark's bank are pieces that cannot be touched. It hurts my heart to know that Coko and Bobo are redoing thier music. They can't even sing thier own music, they have destory someone else's. I'd like to remember it like it was. No shade.
This is definitely after Denise was no longer in the group. Denise does have a higher voice than Karen, but in the harmonies they both share soprano. Whenever Karen led, Denise sang high...after Denise left, it was mostly Twinkie singing high when Karen led...correct me if I am wrong, but I think Denise was out of the group right after the Is My Living In Vain album? This song was, though, originally on the You Brought the Sunshine album (pre-vain), which probably starts the confusion...
i didnt say that the original studio recordings were better than Karen's remakes.... im talkin about the live performances of those specific songs on the TV program where this video came from... thats about as live as it gets!!
Who is Denise and who is Jakie? I had no idea there was more of them. I know that aint Karen cause even though she has that Clark Sisters sound, she sings a lil defferently than Karen. Plus she don' look like Karen.
Actually prosperity06, Karen got a couple of things on Dorinda.....like clarity, range, & power just for starters. I love Dorinda too but even she ADMITS she can't compare...not even when it comes to her sister Twinkie either. So, that right there ends any argument. Please keep your negative inflammatory comments away from my videos, next time you'll find them all deleted.
LOL, I really don't like how you said all of that. You said it as if karen is the only singer, Dorinda is the only preacher, and etc. Well I'm here to tell you that they can all do it all. There were times when Dorinda would repeat after Karen on some things and outdo her. Then there are times when Karen just outshines all. Twinkie (the one who gave them the innovative ability) even has had moments where she killed hard. They are all multi-talented ministers!!!!
Wasn't Karen pregnant with KiKi at the time? Ya'll, I don't c how Karen's style could've changed that much in just a few years. That "Well!" don' sound like Karen at all, and neither does that falsetto. Wonder what happened 2 Denise cause i neva c her wit her sisters. Did they have a fallin out?
You shet it up. You don't even know what you are talking about. It's not like anyone here reprimanded Karen for singing anything. He/she asked a legitimate question & all I did was answer to the best of my knowledge. No beef.
Oh course Karen's vocal are out of this worl but did you hear that organ........Dynamic Musicianship...when the accompaniment is that fliud and exilerating you can't help but to sing at full capasity
I promise you ... no one does phrasing like these women ... between arrangement and range, along with an immense dose of anointing, these SISTERS were noticed, and became ICONS - 5:11 ... the way she came in was classic!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!
YES!!! I’m so amazed by them!
"You dont need no dope, all you need is a dose of the Holy Ghost, well"! "Yeah, Im high. I feel real good. (with the power) I aint had no wine (with the power). I aint had no weed (with the power). Im so gad i know Jesus." One day i heard my 4 year old niece sanging these verses. I was so tickled. LOVE THIS SONG & THEM SO MUCH!
Twinkie is knocking fire from that Hammond C-3!
Dorinda sings every part awesome. Soprano, Alto, Tenor. She is killin' this top.
She’s actually singing tenor right now
Twinkie is singing soprano
They all did but she’s singing tenor. Twinkie is singing soprano.
This video is off the chain! Karen at her very best! Voice strong and at it's peak!
I WAS FIRST LIFTED UP BY THE CLARK SISTERS AT FAT TUESDAY IN SEATTLE IN 1986
AND THEN AGAIN AT THE FILMING OF "GOSPEL" AT THE PARAMOUNT IN OAKLAND IN 198? ENDOW ME IS TRULY A CLASSIC AND BECAUSE OF THESE BLESSED SAINTS OF GOD I WENT ON TO JOIN NORTHWEST CONNECTION COMMUNITY CHOIR AND AMASS ONE GREAT GOSPEL MUSIC COLLECTION.....
The arrangement on this performance is sick!!! I love it!!!!
Lord have mercy, when the grandkids discover the gift they inherited from this woman. SMH
I have been singing this song since I was a little girl. Thankful for my parents for playing the Clark sisters and the winans in our home. SING KAREN!!!
I just heard the full-length version of the remake. Them ladies are SANGIN their heads off!!!
Twinkie - Soprano
Jacky- Alto
Dorinda- Tenor
Seeing The Comments, Some Had It A Bit Confused. 🔥🤝
i love moments like this, when singers are in their element and just get it right! she tore.it.up
I agree... I love the clark sisters.. they were great back then but now they are all beast.. Karen 1st , then dorrinda, then twinkie and then jackie...they are all are so very amazing in their own ways... and i love karen's daughter kiki too she is a beast too when it comes to music.. they are a blessing to us all send from the lord above.. god is so amazing..
sweet2jade Without Twinkie tho the clark sisters wouldn't be who they are musically. She arrange the music, arrange the vocals, and wrote the songs
Karen looks and sounds different. She was great back then, but she is a Beast now.
Dorinda was FEELIN' it lol
WHAT A VOICE!!!
Karen & Twinkie look most like sisters than any other combination. Actually, its DENISE who is higher in vocals than Karen....she sang first soprano in the group. I keep saying, this was AFTER Denise had left the group. Plus, you can listen to the original...."Endow Me" has always been KAREN'S lead.
its crazy that this clip...i actually still have the live recording on VHS!!!! (remember those)
Reminds me of being in church when I was a kid , and people had they tape recorders in the window taping all the good music oh and the sermon too.
"Twinkie: Live In Charlotte" video. I don't know if you've heard it before or not, but that version is nothing like this. They don't have the verses & it's Twinkie singing lead with the rest on background. I still love that one too.
THIS IS KAREN POINT BLANK NO QUESTION ABOUT IT I KNO THIS BECAUSE I WAS THERE
Yes, they did new stuff for the first half & old stuff on the 2nd half. Classic stuff that includes Endow Me, Jesus Is A Love Song, Name It Claim It, Redeemer Liveth, Angels, Pray 4 The Usa, Center Thy Will, I Tried Him & I Know Him, Vain, Sunshine, For The Love of the Ppl,& more.
Karen was looking to heaven for that annoiting. I cant wait to see them in July!!! THATS RIGHT!!! JULY 8TH HOUSTON TEXAS!!! GLOOORRRAYYYY!!!
I luuuuuuuuv the Clark Sisters!! Thank you for putting this video out for everyone to see and enjoy!
gETTING cHILLS!! sang IT karen!!! u preachin!!
I love this smh
"Endow" is nowhere on the new Clark sisters album. The live album is great and everyone should go out and buy it!
Faith's voice does have some similar qualities to Karen as far as the texture of her voice goes. When they did "Nothing" on "Finally Karen", I had a hard time telling who was who.
ol skool dont find many artist today that still take it back to this. Lol the pioneers of gospel look a hott mess but thas ok they was blowin!!!!! Lovin it thanks for posting.
Scorpian you are THAT dude when it comes to Clark vids. Thank you so much, this is one of my all-time favourite Clark song...God bLESS
Wonderful! Thanks for this video!
That background is holding it down
I sometimes get a kick out of reading the comments!!!! I agree... with the ones that say, "there's no competition in Gospel music...just in how many souls they can minister to!!!! Thanks for posting this video that I've never seen ScOrpion...and please don't let some foolish comment deter you from being a blessing to others. I am blessed becuz of your video...I claim the same for you....THANK YOU!!!!
Look at KCS!!!!
it became competition without the annointing....but I grew up in it and I miss it too.
YES YES!! I remember when Tamella SAANG Speak Lord on TBN lasy year and it remined so much of when KCS during the "Finally Karen" days
They know they were singing in this song. Karen is nothing to mess with...!!!
Wow Karen Sanging I love his song and I love the remake by koko, faith, lil mo, and tasia..aint nothing like the original but they do a good job!
still listening
OMG, Saturday Night Sing! You took it back!! Love it! =)
Good God Almighty, I'm ready to go on and see what the end gone be after that one
The Pace Sisters are pretty wonderful but you're right...I don't think anyone can compare to The Clark Sisters!!!
So true!! I Love every song she leads. Y'all gonna get off Jacky! LOL!!!
My God everytime I hear Karen I shout! Next time imma put my dancing shoes on..I wish I had her gift..A sister can sing and harmonize but not even close to this..Thank You Lord for this!
WOOOOO. I don't care who can out run who or who can trample wut keys or whatever. All I know I just got me some ANOINTED CLARK SISTERS
I AINT GOT NO WINE....AND I GOT NO WEED...HALELOOYA!!!!
LOL, too cute.
She did hold that bottom down on this. Twinkie was singing soprano, and Dorinda held down the alto. However most of the time when they sing Twinkie holds down the bottom, of course Karen sings soprano, and Jackie sings strait alto while Dorinda sings around the alto(meaning she sings alto but with riffs and runs in there}.
YEH I think thats about right. All of them hav pretty high voices, but Coko is the "true" soprano of the alot. Faith and Mo are mezzos...Tasia in an alto with a high voice. But they all have great lower reigisers too so i hope they exhibit some that and don't run/holla all over each other.
@MrDangoodguy wow i love that song dearly! i first heard it in 2000
This version ministers to those who are saved as well as those who are not. The BET Celebration version was a mess compared to this one. You can actually hear the lyrics in this one. and they are not all screaming.
As far as the old stuff, they did a tribute to their mother singing a few of her old songs...Salvation is Free, Wonderful Wonderful, & another one. Um, they did Miracle. Jacky sang "God Understands All" as a part of her solo set and Dorinda did "I Won't Let Go" for her second song. Anyone know of anything else, they can add on.
If there is any group of sisters out there that can come close to this....just enter another line of work. lol!!!
I KNOW MY KURN! THATS HER!
💖😍😍💯💯💖
People sleep on Jacky, but she holds dat bottom DOWN! How does everyone think the four of them will be voices? I think Coko's gonna be Sop1, Lil' Mo Sop 2, Faith Alto and Fantasia Tenor and they'll all get a lil' taste of the lead.
every now and then (this is my personal opinon) tamala mann remind me of the old karen clark-sheard...especially when she speaks
PEOPLE, IT'S KAREN!!! Denise sounds NOTHING like that & "Endow Me" has always been KAREN'S lead. She sings on the original album version & everytime they've ever sang this song, minus the 02 remake. This footage is OVER 20 yrs old, you can't expect everything to be the same....all of them have had changes in every area. Other than Neicy gettin involved in a seperate ministry, nobody knows what happened between them...just a bunch of rumors.
anyone has James Moore's version???
No, that's not true. Karen has had many offers throughout the years for secular recording contracts though.
I like both versions, this one and Coko version...
These are some sanging sistas!! Yea they are from COGIC!! And Im not even from COGIC!
i never heard denise actually sing....i wish i could have
Oh thanks.
Ya'll need to take that kind of talk to private message. I don't wanna read no cussing on MY videos! Have some respect. Who cares about Coko & what note she may or may not have hit.
@Mrdangoodguy (I noticed the question mark) Gospel was filmed during the SUNSHINE era (they wore the album cover dresses at the end, remember?)
1:06-1:12; amazing! Karen sounds a lot like Faith Evans on this song, except Faith doesn't have the vocal gymnastics like Miss Karen. She truly has a God-given talent!
yeah twinkie went up to do soprano on this one.
I understand you as well. However, that song was written with Karens voice in mind. Just like "You Brought the Sunshine" could only be led by Twinkie, and "Determination" can only be led by Dorinda. There's actually a clip of them singing "You brought The Sunshine" on here, and Karen didn't lead it nearly as good as Twinkie would have. And of course none of them could play like Twinkie.

I love this song. I was a bit surprised to see Karen sing like this.. This is out of her contemparary style. Nonetheless its beautiful gospel music.
A snippet of the "Endow Me" remake featuring Coko, Lil' Mo, Faith and Tasia!!
Sidenote: They sing in that order too (in this particular clip)
you betta preach karen
He said "IT'S Karen alright" confirming that its indeed Karen singing in the video since there was so much confusion going on earlier.
Its not letting me play the whole thing. It stopped on the first 3 words of the song.
What other songs did they sing besides this? Anybody know?
I like the FK remakes better than their originals. I guess because they were recorded live while the originals are studio recorded & dated with cheesy production.
That's what I hated about that show!!! He kept cutting the performances off!!! It was getting good!
where can i find that video of them singing endow me in 2002 holla back!!!!
Oh have mercy. . . This along with many others of the Clark's bank are pieces that cannot be touched. It hurts my heart to know that Coko and Bobo are redoing thier music. They can't even sing thier own music, they have destory someone else's. I'd like to remember it like it was. No shade.

old skool karen sounds so much like twinkie its ridiculous

Please keep your negative inflammatory comments away from my videos, next time you'll find them all deleted.
dang i thought that was denise at the beggining
I thought Dorinda was singing Soprano on this. That's what they usually do, when Karen leads, Dorinda will take over soprano.
It’s twinkie
Yes, it's all Karen singing lead.
They deleted now.
Karen know she was singing.....
no. kiki looks like karen. :D
LOL, I really don't like how you said all of that. You said it as if karen is the only singer, Dorinda is the only preacher, and etc. Well I'm here to tell you that they can all do it all.

Denise never sang like this anyway. This is Karen! I know my Clarks. You need to go back to school. I know their voices then and now.
THIS IS KAREN POINT BLANK NO QUESTION ABOUT IT I KNO THIS BECAUSE I WAS THERE
