They be communicating with each other...what's coming next, the words, the notes, and making things up as they go if one forgets, and runs that surprise each other. Having a full conversation while blowing the rooftop off.
This particular performance was slated to be released when the idea of “Finally Karen” was supposed to be a live album. It was recorded a year before the release. Unfortunately, the label decided not to and use it as a “bonus performance from The Clark Sisters” to push the VHS sales. It worked! Also, I don’t think it would’ve fit the final track list.
ruclips.net/video/dD4ABIoMWvE/видео.html listen to this song jacky clark in the city she did an amazing job especially torwards the end of the song and she made a album
Anthony Moore and they can never touch them my generation learned from the best i'm one of them within my generation still taking notes smh dese sistas is da best
Those Clark Sisters can soften the hardest of hearts!❤😂❤😂 May God continue to strengthen & bless them in their musical gifts, abilities and talents!❤ All Glory to God, Hallelujah & Amen!!❤😂❤😂😂😂
I’ve been watching this video since 1997 and it just dawned on me that Twinkie made up half of the remixed vamp section on the stage 😂. No wonder Dorinda and Jackie were watching her so hard.
Just got off a live with Donald Lawrence who produced. He was talking about the behind the scenes for this recording. He said the Clark Sisters didn’t even rehearse for this song or Jesus Is a Love Song. All they did was sound check and Dorinda wasn’t at sound check because she had to preach.
Karen's daughter was just a lil bitty something when she did this cd. She has grown up to be a power house sing like her mom. So much talent in that family .

That growl at 3:42 🔥🔥 , Kiera at 4:17 looking like what ya doing mama, #FavePart of the entire video 4:24-4:59 Twinkie's sneaky run, to Karen's jumping from leading to joining BG,. That Ain't easy to do , perfectly & on pitch & time ! #TheClarkSisters are PURE GOLD!!
To me, this performance embodies the superiority of African-American musical culture. Just perfection in every way. I'm definitely perplexed every time I listen to these beautiful women.
Why was Karen in the pocket SOOOOO much in this performance. She was the literal pocket... This arrangement is just as good as the original. The runs are RIDICULOUS!
MY favorite things about this video are seeing improv happen. Jacky trying to coach dorinda on the changes. Twinkle helping Donald direct her sisters. Donald giving Karen cues as she tentatively takes them live and on the spot. This is so dope. And much respect to Dorinda for being able to hang with these changes and bend her skill to fit this funky update to their classic!
I live in los angeles and I be doggone all these Detroiters can singgggggg. wow. I love this song and it sounds so so so so....good......OUT AS PURE GOLD !....TRIED IN THE FIRE. OUT AS PURE GOLDDDDDDDDDDDDD ....GO CLARK SISTERS. THIS SONG IDENTIFY WITH ME AND MY LIFE.....THANK YOU GOD FOR YOUR WORD....THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORDS.....THEY HELPED ME. GO CLARK GIRLS
Actually Karen was watching Donald, and Dorinda and Jacky were watching Twinkie. Nothing was made up, they just didn’t make it to soundcheck. This song is a Clark original as well as Jesus is a love song.
This is so 90's. From the hair to the church outfits, even the arrangement of the song.
Very!!!! Lol
Yup!!!
Especially when compared to the original 1980's version on "Is my living in vain".... An entirely different vibe 😂😂
I miss the 90’s 😂
@@dalkyo1985 me too
Them girls can harmonize all day!
you ain't lying
kleo you ain't never lied
Yes indeedy
Twinkie shouting "Sing Karen" is adorable😍😍😍
lol right 1:46
Lol I love it
Denise was always situated beside Karen & always screamed “sing girl”.. shout out to Twinkie for doing that. Loved it
That was Twinkie who said that. Aww❤❤💛💛 giving love to her baby sis
That is my favorite part!!!
Jackie is very underrated.. That bass is not an easy note to hold, she does it so effortlessly... Go head jackie..
True.
Twinkie does the bass/baritone. Jackie is tenor.
Jackie mic is always off she can't sing ...
my millionaireclub Janet can sing let me see you do better
@@mymillionaireclub7591 I screamed.
Twinkie is a genius, i love how she direct them.
Mysharri Artistry yeah. She is always on point 💯
I know! The Clark Sisters are never better than when Twinkie is feeling it and leading them!
Love how they always look at each other and smile
DeJaiz Moe yeah. Like pure peace or sum they send each other
Beautiful connection
Me too . 😃
Their love and respect for each other
They be communicating with each other...what's coming next, the words, the notes, and making things up as they go if one forgets, and runs that surprise each other. Having a full conversation while blowing the rooftop off.
Whoever did Jacky’s French Roll deserves an award!!! Come through Auntie Jackie!!!
When you realize Twinkie's making up stuff as they go along. Genius
SDR Slick i just noticed that. musical genius!!!
At what point
@@bluebuffy5 at 4:25 I think he's talking about.
Right I thought I was the only person to peep that and they followed
She does it in Jesus Is A Love Song,too.
Notice how Twinkies head is subtly in motion with Karen’s run at 2:02. Twinkie is so musically in tune and it amazes me.
Actually never noticed that till now. Lol. Cute
I HATE how they didn't put this version on the Finally Karen album with the rest of the live tracks, because they killed it 💯💯💯💯
Right?! I was heated as this was one of my favorites off the VHS 😠. Nevertheless, thank God for RUclips 😆
Thank God for radio and RUclips. I remember hearing this on the radio all the time.
This is the SONG!
Same!

4:18 - 4:21 Kiki thinking 🤔 that will be me soon. I better pay attention
Jacky's facial expressions at 1:23-1:30!
Jordan Toolsee she meant that thang! 😂‼️
She had to make sure she got every note on the harmony 😂
ruclips.net/video/dD4ABIoMWvE/видео.html listen to this song jacky clark in the city she did an amazing job especially torwards the end of the song and she made a album
ruclips.net/video/5Y34r3fvSNM/видео.html and listen to the clark sisters amazing grace at 1:35 jacky sang a solo and her vocals left me speechless
She was serious with it😂😂😂😍😍😍😍
People don't give Jackie enough credit for holding down the base like she does.
amen
I second that AMEN! And her facial expressions, though! 😆 Go head, Jackie! #TCS4life
I do! Lol. I've always been aware of her part. She's "bad"! Lol...
I agree.. My friends give me a hard time for always telling them to not sleep on Jacky... Cause if she come out the box on you, it's over!
I know that's right!!!
I don’t think people mention how Karen’s ear is amazing. And her ability to just jump in wherever. Woo Lawd!
Her vocal agility is insane
Ya'll realize Twinkie made up 4:26 to stop Karen from going too far😂😂 and when Twinkie started it sounded like 5 persons but it was only her lol
It Sholl sounded like multiple people. I've always looked at that and been like "Who else it singing but Twinkie???" 😂
@@RandyJGJ she is amazing😍
@@RandyJGJ Twinkie and Jackie
@@Brend.0 Jacky didn't seem close enough to her mic, to me, for it to be her. Plus her mic is not really loud often.
@@RandyJGJ dorinda joined in too
I see I lot people saying that wall group brought them here, while is all fine but these lady's are the ORIGINALS!!!
Anthony Moore and they can never touch them my generation learned from the best i'm one of them within my generation still taking notes smh dese sistas is da best
You better say that!!
So the point I'd they honored them and introduced their music to some who may not have heard the ORIGINAL.
The Walls Group are them. Nvm I see. The Walls Group is the gospel family of their generation. Not the Clark Sisters. But they're them.
@Kevin Mason probably because they're still considerably young. Also they're not the Clark Sisters. They're them.
Twinkie is feeling this !!
Still listening, 2023. Fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Good ole gospel never gets old, especially this one. The good ones got everlasting duration. Hallelujah.
Yesssss❤❤
Those Clark Sisters can soften the hardest of hearts!❤😂❤😂 May God continue to strengthen & bless them in their musical gifts, abilities and talents!❤ All Glory to God, Hallelujah & Amen!!❤😂❤😂😂😂
Little Kierra studying at 4:20 like, this’ll be me in 20 years. 🤣
1:59-2:03 now thats my all time favorite high run from Karen she sounds like a computer. No autotune, pure instrument.
Yes man
Truth! 💯💯💯
Exactly and 2:41🙌🏽👸🏽💯
You can actually hear each note
Just the look on Twinkies face like where is she going and the she smiles and drops her head. I love this clip
Jackie’s facial expressions I love em 😂
Kierra is watching her mom and aunties intently, taking notes for when her time comes. Love it!
I looooove that harmony "We Learn" 1:20
3:08
This version is pure magic.
My goodness.
I’ve been watching this video since 1997 and it just dawned on me that Twinkie made up half of the remixed vamp section on the stage 😂. No wonder Dorinda and Jackie were watching her so hard.
I love music Hi just curious, what parts did Twinkie make up? Is it towards the end?
Just got off a live with Donald Lawrence who produced. He was talking about the behind the scenes for this recording. He said the Clark Sisters didn’t even rehearse for this song or Jesus Is a Love Song. All they did was sound check and Dorinda wasn’t at sound check because she had to preach.
Kiara Hill 3:18 & 4:24 & 5:20
Cute guy
@@deelocs That explains why Dorinda was watching Karen and Twinkie so hard, I always wondered if she rehearsed lol
Karen's daughter was just a lil bitty something when she did this cd. She has grown up to be a power house sing like her mom. So much talent in that family .
Insane Harmony...
Dorinda is so beautiful
You can say that again!
They are all gorgeous in person
Tim Tyler my childhood crush lol
Mine too lol. I'm glad I got to play for her one time.
Take back every thing
Twinkie Looks Very Happy In This Video And Jackie's Facial Expressions Had Me Dying ! Lol I Love This Clarks
Tho we are tried like silver in the fire we come out as pure gold
We must be refined
And then we need a shine
We come out as pure gold
There is a process to our fullfillingness
There is signifigance to every experience
From each trial we learn
We learn
We learn
Our foundation becomes firm
Our foundation becomes firm
We're tested then melted
Like brass, tin, and iron
We become like a stone
We're carved, scraped and shaven
Like rock, wood, and metal
We become like a stone
There is a process to our fullfillingness
There is signifigance to every experience
From each trial we learn
We learn
We learn
Though we're tried in the fire
(Out as pure gold)
Though we're tried in the fire, we come
(Out as pure gold)
Though we're tried in the fire

Though we're tried in the fire
(Out as pure gold)
Though we're tried in the fire, we come
(Out as pure gold)
Yes we are
Yes we are, yes we are

#FavePart of the entire video 4:24-4:59 Twinkie's sneaky run, to Karen's jumping from leading to joining BG,. That Ain't easy to do , perfectly & on pitch & time ! #TheClarkSisters are PURE GOLD!!
Ha! I was wondering who that little girl was. I'm from there so I was seriously trying to figure out, lol.
That was Twinkie? I thought it was Dorinda
@@anonimothy5979 Yeah, that's Karen's daughter, Kierra Sheard-Kelly when she was younger.
This would've SLAPPED....as a bonus track on Finally Karen!
4:25 Parliament - Flash Light
LOL They are crazy!!
gooseguse LOLOLOL!! I thought it was just me who peeped.
If Twinkie didn’t switch it up @4:26, Karen was gonna take that shit ALL THE WAY HOME. You can see it in her fingers
Their harmony is beautiful praise God this song really gives me peace.
3:08 Karen was like girl if u don't sing your part Dorinda, "We're come!!"
Mysharri Artistry Dorinda says we come
twinkie had Karen cracking up in the beginning lmbo

Twinkie so smooth how she insert that run at 4:26
There will never be another THEM. Individually and collectively! GOATS
Ohhhh my goodness Karinda's 'yes we are' part just gets me everytime😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
3:17 karen is so smart for that, she knew dorinda was missing her part so she ran to take up space
NOPE! NEVER MISS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE TWINKIE AND HER SISTERS SING!
when dorinda got a lil bit @3:12...she just had to. 😂😂😂
shardtx dorinda actually missed her cue the first time which is why karem sung that "we come"
joe moore Right!! Lol
joe moore you are a genius! And it also threw Karen off because she didn’t count correctly.
their ministry in singing is just heavenly.
I love this arrangement so much.
Memory puzzle
I'm from Brazil and I love American black music ❤️
@ 4:51 that look Twinkie gave like "Yes Y'all we did it" love this version of the song
Twinkie looked at Dorinda and said “I told you”
In my darkest hours your channel reminds me who I am and where I came from. Then I remember where I am going!
God Bless You!
To me, this performance embodies the superiority of African-American musical culture. Just perfection in every way. I'm definitely perplexed every time I listen to these beautiful women.
has anyone ever noticed how Karen cut her eye at Dorinda when she wasn't singing her part "We Come"....absolutely funny lol
Yes!!!
That run by Dorinda at 4:22 🤩🤩🤩
Twinkie told Dorinda “I told you” at the beginning idk what they were talking bout... but Karen did something lol I love their bond
Classic Clark Sisters
Kierra at 4:20 :)
Why was Karen in the pocket SOOOOO much in this performance. She was the literal pocket... This arrangement is just as good as the original. The runs are RIDICULOUS!

Never noticed this, Twinkie yells "sing Karen!" at 1:47
+Cynthia Turner She says sing Karen. Who the hell is Daryle smh lol
+Cynthia Turner That wouldn't make sense for her to say sing Donald. She said sing Karen. Donald doesn't sing..
