The Clark Sisters on The Joan Rivers Show 1991

[@malikfirst64]

KAREN JUST BEEN A BEAST ALL HER LIFE!!!!!!!

[@rethabilenxumalo9742]

Period😂🔥🔥🔥

[@sofumba]

LOL!!!! She took them all to Church with her that night!!!!

[@canandwill1]

literally all her life check out the 70s she was just as amazing then too as a teen

[@CelestialGatez]

How did I miss THIS? Dorinda put that SAUCE on it, Jackie was on point and Karen brought the razzle dazzle! Those combined voices will lift you UP!

[@9F.O.H]

You couldn't have expressed that. No clearer. No better than fat. You said. I said the same thing. I never realized how much Jackie is needed in the group. She's like the center. Her voice round out the whole group. Love them all. Just as solo, they sound like a choir by themselves. That's hard to do..

[@OPedroVilaNova]

each sister demonstrated their skills and singing style. Jack's thick and firm voice is incredible.... Is so smoothie, I love her song "Cover Me"

[@mrakennedy]

It’s so wild to think at this time they were already music icons and many of us weren’t even thought about. Yet, here we are 30 years later and they are still active and producing new material. This type of career is practically unheard of across all genres.

They have had a once in a lifetime career

[@mfitzgerald2288]

These lyrics-this song is so fire! Twinkie is the GOAT and definitely the founder of contemporary Gospel music.

[@keepingitrealandtruthful.5081]

I thought Edwin Hawkins was the founder, this doesn't take away the genius of Twinkie.

[@sofumba]

Twinkie's Vocal Acrobatics on the original Track, are out of this world!! This is why her baby Sister, Karen looks up to her the way she does-🔥🔥🔥

[@ParisCouture]

Glory be to God!!!! This truly blessed my soul. I love The Clark Sisters, grew up with them. And I love Joan Rivers (RIP) I was here back in 1991, struggling horribly in NYC as a student. But God is so faithful, for today I am wealthy. xoxo I love you, Lord.

[@kindell1]

They look and sound so beautiful. THIS is why Karen is my favorite Gospel singer. Period.

[@erictoler5300]

Karen really keeps that tongue 👅 down like a BOSS. That’s the sign of a singer who understands the science of the voice.

[@PMillz20020]

Couldn’t agree more more, doc. ❤💪🏽 Can also appreciate how she’s managed to keep that voice-box intact, down through the yrs.
She learned how to Pull back and become more strategic (goes FULL-throttle only when NECESSARY).

This was nice, and to people in that time really rejoicing to the sounds of God in that time is great. Life was so different then and differs from today.

The Clark Sisters Forever! Wow they were on the Joan Rivers Show! The latter is greater than the former/ they look even better now!

Dorinda-Soprano
Jacky-Alto
Kayla-Tenor(backstage)

[@jadairm6318]

Who is kayla? She was killing that tenor! I had to listen hard because first I thought it was Jacky! Amazing!

[@reggiemitchell5198]

@@jadairm6318 Kayla used to sing back ground for them in the last 89s and early 90s and then pam and j moss started doing bgv for them. She mainly sings tenor when doing background for them. Jacky didn’t start singing tenor for the group until the 2000s. Dorinda would mainly doing the switching between soprano alto and tenor and then mainly singing tenor when it was just the 3 of them.

[@malikfirst64]

And see why ya'll need to leave JACKIE ALONE?! Don't sleep on her! You have to understand JACKIE KEEPS THAT BOTTOM SO SMOOTH AND RICH it allows Dorinda, Twink and Karen TO BE YOUR "FAVORITES."

[@reggiemitchell5198]

That was actually a singer named Kayla Parker singing the bottom. She sued to sing back ground for them from the late 80s to early 90s before J moss and Pam Taylor starting singing background for them. Jacky was singing alto. She didn’t start to sing the bottom note till the 2000s. Dorinda used to mainly do most of the switching between tenor and soprano when Twinkie would lead and when she left the group.

[@vrjanice2]

Where's the rest of them. Sounds like one of Twinkie's songs.

[@reggiemitchell5198]

@@vrjanice2 it is. This is the song she hit her highest note which is the F6 and it’s on the conqueror album.

[@malikfirst64]

@@reggiemitchell5198 OK I guess JACKIE was just standing there pretending to sing then. God rest the soul of KAYLA PARKER who was great too and I still say DON'T SLEEP ON JACKIE who has been singing the bottom for some 35+ years now.

[@reggiemitchell5198]

@@malikfirst64 Jacky was singing alto…no one is saying she wasn’t singing you can clearly hear her sing the first verse. Then after Karen starts singing lead you still hear 3 part harmony…Jacky was singing alto the entire time and she mainly sang alto bsck in the day and doomed would witch from tenor to alto to soprano and sang tenor when Twinkie left the group and even still when Twinkie was in the group (You Brought The Sunshine Dorinda would sing bottom)
