I remember Vanessa talking in an interview about how difficult it was to sing this song, I remember as a little boy I was 11, on the day of Dr.Clarks funeral how we stood in line waiting to get into Bailey Cathedral, Vanessa cried and cried, this was her mentor, the lady who discovered and groomed her and pushed her into all the greatness that she has become for over 40 years!!
I was there for this. I was 21 years old in the balcony. I had always heard this song but had never heard them sing it in person. It was amazing. And the late Ronnie Kersey on the organ was BEAST.
Just to let every one know the reason that they go to pictures is out of respect for the privacy of the family. They periodically showed dr Clark in the casket
Yes I agree. It was like they threw it in only to give proof of Deneice's antics. Looking at the true footage, Deneice wasn't as obnoxious as they portrayed her in the film.
I’ve seen big funerals before... But this was something. You can feel the energy and the importance of this woman’s life. It could have been a big dramatic scene Ala “Imitation of Life”... Instead they went the trashy way. Denise was the obvious antagonist of the film. I want her to come out and do another interview to tell how she truly feels. That wasn’t right.
This is so sad, what a sweet & anointed woman she was. I can only imagine how the girls felt at their mommies funeral. Especially Dorinda, I remember Dorinda almost crying while talking about her mommy on unsung. :(
@tgrimes79 I didnt know that Vanessa was twelve years old when she sang in Dr. Clark's choir. But I should've known because she is a close friend of the family. She said Dr. Mattie Moss was like her own mother.
She was as hurt as them i guess the clark sisters said 😲😲😲😲 WOW we thought we were hurt i never knew they sung together when they were younger comin up fr fr
I agree but remember that being anointing doesn't mean you shouldn't have talent either. Someone anointed to sing the Gospel should study and perfect their musical and spiritual gifts. Dr. Clark had her children/students/choirs also working out their soul salvation in and with song. Singing and living for god was worked out together.
@voncarlosdiaz Vanessa recorded an updated version of "Salvation Is Free" in 2005. It can be found on Ron Winans' Family & Friends V. Her performance is nothing short of heartfelt and annointed.
When Aretha was a Gospel singer she was a Gospel sing and when she started singing secular she was still in touch with her Gospel side. Rev. C.L Franklin enjoyed all types of music and that is why she was able to sing secular music because her father was open to different types of music. A lot of baptists did have a problem with Aretha becoming a soul singer but that is all history now isn't it?
Vanessa was indeed very young when she started singing in the Southwest Michigan State Choir under Dr. Clark. She was actually 12 years old. Eventually Vanessa got married and started having children and cut back on her singing until she released her first solo album. Vanessa does give much honor and acknowledgement to Dr. Clark who was like a "second mother" to her. I've always viewed Vanessa as "one of Mattie's children".
@COGICHolyGhostwitnes ITS WAS A FULL OPEN CASKET THEY HAVE A VIDEO THAT SHOWS IT THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE FUNERAL. THIS VERSION WAS EDITED TO SHOW RESPECT TO DR CLARK AND THE GIRLS.
tarajon Simons She sounds nothing like Mattie Moss. You are reaching with this one. Mattie did not do vocal acrobatics and her tone was a lot different from Vanessa’s.
I love music So are The Clark Sisters, but they were Mattie’s daughters, trained under her, and Dorinda definitely sounds like her. So why can’t Vanessa? Stop being a bitter Betty.
Dominique Deveraux Mattie didn’t train the Clark Sisters to sing. She taught them her songs and they learned them. That’s not training them to sing. They already had a musical gift that they developed because they were put in situations where they had to learn songs. They all influenced each other with Twinkie being their biggest singing influence. However each of the sisters had other singers they mimicked like Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder. I am not being accurate, I am just not a fan of misinformation.
@@musickfreek Whew. I know this conversation is 2 yrs old, so perhaps you've reevaluated your thoughts? But If you haven't- 😂 LOL. Both comments of your comments were loud & wrong. VBA has her own distinctive sound, but it wasn't a reach, you can hear MMC's influence on her singing this song. I implore you to go & listen to Mattie's original version from the 60's. VBA was reading the lyrics off that paper and still made several of the same vocal choices as MMC did. Couple examples is the riff on "salvation", the placement of using distortion on several of the same words & the timing.
@@musickfreek & LMAO at you saying she didn't train her daughters to sing. I don't like misinformation either. It's really not hard to find TCS interviews individually and collectively talking about how she trained them. But I guess you must know something that they don't know? The woman traveled the country training COGIC choirs, creating workshops & holding seminars. Also founded "The Clark Conservatory of Music" where she helped train even more singers & musicians but somehow her daughters were exempt from being trained by her? 😂
Its funny, i've always wandered if COGIC's finest (Bettye, Vanessa etc) could compare to Aretha in pure vocal ability. Having seen this clip, and hers i would say they most definately can!
Greatest legacy to anointed mothers of. Gospel in the world Rest in peace. Her blessed spirit will live on throughout the lives of her family! I love her always!
The Heavens Are Honored And In At Awww Even Still Of Dr. Mattie Moss Clark And Many Other Gifts From Others That Heaven Receives Daily🙏🙏🙏 MISSI G SO MANY BUT BELIEVING GOD'S PERFECT WILL❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏
Dr. Mattie Moss-Clark really was somebody special to attract these names--Aretha, Vanessa, James Moore, etc... to pay her tribute and honor on her homegoing. When giants in the church, like her, go home, their shoes are awfully, awfully hard to fill.
You mean Aretha alone? The only one you listed who wasn't under her tutelage was Aretha. The others owed it to her, she made them who they are in Gospel music.
She sound like Mattie This was one of the !st songs to usher in the comtempary gospel harmony That the reason I call Dr. mattie Moss Clark "The Mother of Comtempary Gospel:
BETWEEN THE ANOINTING, VANESSA BELL ARMSTRON, THE CHOIR AND THAT ORGAN IT MAKES YOU WANT TO LIFT YOUR HANDS... THE ANOINTING AND THE WORDS TO THE SONG MAKE THE DIFFERANCE, SIMPLE BUT POWERFUL....!!!!
Va'nes got me crying "~!~" What a lost, Dr. Matie Moss ~ Clark was awesome, she taught my B.S.U. director "Baw~Baw" how to direct and/or sing, we went from church to church singing all day on Sundays singing, those where the good o'dayz "~!~"
you right. Peace be still and for god so love the world. Dr. Clark god Elder. Bell's permission. Her gift was so big and Dr. Clark could work with her without working against Mother VBA.
well lately cogic has been not so strict on the women pastoring policy..nathan simmons wife is pastor of citadel cogic in atlanta and he's been deceased i think2yrs now..i heard pastor maria gardner had her on church too and she cogic
You could say it's a Baptist thing... My only argument would be that Hazel Tempelton, who was a devout member of The Church of God in Christ was one of the people who came behind VBA. Ummm.... I call it support for the grieving.. RIP Hazel Templeton. I miss you!
I just think her schedule got too much. Vanessa was very young when she started singing for Mattie, 14 years old i think. As she got older i imagine she just wanted to do "ordinary" teenage things. However, i would give much thought to her album TQ's. Karen has used the same TQ's since her frist album LOL. Doesn't meana she doesn't appreciate the new'old poeple in her life any less.
When U have Vanessa Bell France Allen Aretha and James Moore on the same program that's a hot ticket we R talking about people whom R filled with the holy spirit nor R they ashame R afraid to let anyone know where they stand when it come to serving the Lord my my. DPitts
COGICHolyGhostwitnes not during this particular ceremony. She was laid out in a topless coffin as if she was in a four poster bed with a white and sky blue choir robe. She looked very peaceful
they were standing around her because they were waiting to take over the song, because she had forgot the song. But then she remember when she seed them coming to take the mic.
I remember Vanessa talking in an interview about how difficult it was to sing this song, I remember as a little boy I was 11, on the day of Dr.Clarks funeral how we stood in line waiting to get into Bailey Cathedral, Vanessa cried and cried, this was her mentor, the lady who discovered and groomed her and pushed her into all the greatness that she has become for over 40 years!!
DeAntwayne Hall yep love Vanessa
Gods Grace.
I’m here after watching the Clark sister’s movie on Lifetime.
DeeDee Robinson me too
Me too!
Me too. Looking for all things Mattie Moss Clark. Thank God for her.
Me too fr fr
Me too!
4:21 the QUEEN Aretha was standing you know Ms. Armstrong was tearing it up!! Tears & all!
The Clarks do not have to sing EVERYTHING! Vanessa was the perfect one to sing this.
I was there for this. I was 21 years old in the balcony. I had always heard this song but had never heard them sing it in person. It was amazing. And the late Ronnie Kersey on the organ was BEAST.
Nash Shaffer what's the name
Marion Simmons Salvation is Free
@@marionmarion6852 Oh wow
If there were organs in heaven Ronnie and your father would be jamming together.
You can see Vanessa's pain as she's singing! She really loved Dr. Clark!
Just to let every one know the reason that they go to pictures is out of respect for the privacy of the family. They periodically showed dr Clark in the casket
She did a great job too. I wish they would’ve did more for the funeral scene. They made it comical a bit in the biopic.
Yes I agree. It was like they threw it in only to give proof of Deneice's antics. Looking at the true footage, Deneice wasn't as obnoxious as they portrayed her in the film.

Mrs. Moses She actually was. The footage on UA-cam was edited.
@@CeliniacForLife FACTS!!!!!!
im glad those ladies came up there for support ....Vanessa look like she could fall all over the floor any moment
did the movie bring u here after you balled out crying 😭
my dream concert is to see vanessa bell,twinnkie clark tramaine hawkins and pattie labelle colaberate one song together
Thank you SO MUCH TO GOD’s SERVANT!
I totally understand how it feels to lose your mother & greatest fan ever. I felt every inch of this tribute.😭
Vanessa Bell..."THE VOICE,"THE DIVA,"..SO heavenly and heavily anointed....she's a Beast of a singer!
This is so sad, what a sweet & anointed woman she was. I can only imagine how the girls felt at their mommies funeral. Especially Dorinda, I remember Dorinda almost crying while talking about her mommy on unsung. :(
Something about that organ just gets down in my soul everytime...
@tgrimes79 I didnt know that Vanessa was twelve years old when she sang in Dr. Clark's choir. But I should've known because she is a close friend of the family. She said Dr. Mattie Moss was like her own mother.

ANOINTED VESSELS FULLGOSPPENT Where is it?!?
Where is it?
Also, if you're talking about the Aretha of today or in the tribute clip, I would say okay but in Aretha's heyday, Aretha held her own with anyone.
Oh PLEASE-Aretha was #1 till the day she died. Vanessa, and the Clark sisters aint got nothing over Aretha
I was there!! I was only 10 yrs old, but I remember that funeral like it was yesterday.
Did you view Dr.Clark and what she look like in her casket.
I hear a lot of dr clark in her singing....u can tell she was trained under her

How come the women are gathering around her? Her voice is beautiful.
Yes!
So you never listened to Essie Moss and the Moss Brothers (Bill Moss Jr., and J. Moss)?
does anyone know if they are selling it or on a personal website that people can go to. So they can have the funeral? A lot of people loved her.
I wanna have this type of effect on people
