An Evening with Twinkie Clark

[@onewayonly3984]

Twinkie went from sacrificing her degree to focus on supporting Mattie Moss/spearheading the Clark Sisters, to being honoured in Harvard. Look at God.

[@apopenestolic7261]

The greatest recognition/honor of all in ministry is to be received in your own house.

[@princechristophermcmillon7562]

That's amazing! Also are you aware that she dropped out of Howard University, which just honored her a couple of days ago? That’s beyond amazing and definitely God’s favor, because it’s unheard of. So, I totally agree with you. #MyFavTwinkie

[@ChuckoDaBoss]

Her major was music lol so it worked out fine

[@jacobymorrison9262]

Can we have a national Twinkie Clark Holiday‼️‼️ She is so important to the world of Music, not just Gospel, but music period.

[@KTBmediaview]

YES!!! OMG🎉🎉🎉

[@snowwhite6882]

Amen

[@DaevionMarkelltv]

I was literally just saying this. Dr. Mattie or Twinkie needs a federal holiday.

[@LorettaLindsey]

Yes,let's have a Dr. Twinkie Clark day, and celebrate this musical genius

[@coryeasterling]

Awee, that is so nice! Would love that!!

[@HOPE.TheresNoPlaceLikeHomeClub]

I love that Twinkie is in the spotlight! It's almost like she doesn't realize how phenomenal she is. She IS THE Clark sister...If I'm every woman was a writer, composer, and arranger it would be Twinkie!!

[@storiking650]

👏🏾🙌🏾👏🏾🙌🏾👏🏾🙌🏾👏🏾🙌🏾

[@TheAlevels]

👆🏾✨

[@ajsimmons7239]

I wish Howard would confer an honorary bachelor's degree to Twinkie. She is a wonderful ambassador for her craft and Howard University.

[@OrganicallyLuxeLife]

EXACTLY🎉🎉🎉🎉🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@user-kq1gj1kd9d]

More like an Honorary Doctorate!!!

[@jerry5888]

Twinkie is so humble and sweet, but her gift is AMAZING!!! She has sacrificed, written and arranged some of the most beautifully anointed music. I love that she is getting her flowers while she can still smell them!! Well Deserved!

[@warpath1295]

Amen

[@fawaka5006]

Twinkie is GOLDEN! The way Damien described her solo on Karen’s recording was spot on! That is still one of THEE vocal deliveries …. Ever!

[@ajsimmons7239]

Although I don't understand the question that Damien posed but I enjoyed the prosessional manner in which the question was posed. Outstanding!!!

[@allthingsphoebe]

EVER!!!

[@OrganicallyLuxeLife]

She walked that solo down.... She did everyone's part

[@Nhamp-ig7qj]

God is faithful the fact that she gave up her college education to write and play for her mom, sisters, and the church of God in Christ, and he knew that was something she wanted to do he allows her to be honored and studied at major Universities in America.

[@snowwhite6882]

Amen

[@timsmith1122]

Amen!

[@jayaarons164]

Yep! "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." She got more than what she gave up on in the first place!

[@princechristophermcmillon7562]

Just seeing Twinkie receive her flowers while she's still with us, above ground rather than below, fills my heart with joy. Too often, we fail to celebrate our legends until they've passed on. Yet, witnessing this woman, who has given and sacrificed so much for the greater good, is truly worth honoring and celebrating. Side note: The humility this woman exudes is remarkable. When asked to brag about herself, did you notice she never once boasted? We must celebrate her because there truly is no one on Earth quite like her, not just in talent but also in humility. She has received every prestigious award known to man, including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and has been inducted into the Hammond Organ Hall of Famer and yet and still remains humble and that's worth celebrating and honoring. #MyFavTwinkie

[@heraclescannon3313]

Amen

[@camary1996]

I met Sister Twinkie when she was at the house of a producer I was working with. I was so impressed that she was so down to earth. I was nervous about singing around her because I was way out of her league, but she was very courteous and encouraging to me. Yes, she is the G.O.A.T musically, but she is also a Godly kind woman!

[@PaparazziPete]

Him reading her accolades gave me chills! She is the epitome of Gospel music today!

[@SoSillyWilly26]

It’s time for her to get all her flowers. The genius, not just behind the Clark Sisters but so many other vocalists in the industry are doing or have done what Twinkie was doing back in the 70s and 80s. Without her there’d be no Karen, Mary J Blige, and so many others.

[@george4u1960]

What I like about Twinkie she has a sense of humor. She’s not a stuck in the mud Christian person when it’s serious is serious when it’s time to laugh it’s time to laugh. She knows she’s anchored in God when you know you in God, you can laugh. It’s all right.

[@Sassa-e9t]

Not only a music Master Class, but a master class in Humility. No wonder Ms. Clark is so Anointed with music healing! So beautifully rare!!

[@LorettaLindsey]

Dr. Twinkie deserves every accolade there is such a blessing, humble and a musical genius

[@byronnichols973]

Twinkie pours out JOY! Genius. Prolific. Student. Fearless. Creative. Pensive. And HAPPY. What a combo.

[@revmd621]

Anointed & Holy! 👋🏽👏🏽🙌🏽

[@stephanietaylor928]

Twinkle is the GOAT..Thank you for all the beautiful music

[@65Acura]

I Love this Giant. I am glad Harvard only invited her. She needs to be seen in the Light that she is…..Bright!!!!!

[@OrganicallyLuxeLife]

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@nathannelson6657]

I am so glad that Ms. Twinkie is getting her flowers from around the world. I am also happy that people are recognizing that you just can’t put her in one musical box. The level of musicianship is off the charts.

[@kennethrivens3075]

Damien 35:00-37:00 spoke to the genius of Twinkie! Wow! What a setup!!!

[@revmd621]

👋🏽

[@ADavis571]

THE QUEEN OF THE HAMMOND B3! THE GOAT! The Clark sister! ❤❤❤ Twinkie🙌🏽 I love her so much!

[@robertca31]

My god the way he spoke into her gift made my heart shake. This is what we have to do for our greats. Give them their flowers while they’re here. What an amazing moment…

[@joemoore5312]

Twinkie means the world to me. It was so good to see her in such good spirits. Such a gift, a musical genius.

[@sirjazlivs]

I love her humility and transparency! Damien Sneed put in academic terms what she presents to the music in total! It transcends across genres! In one song she puts Broms, Bach, Mozart, Renaissance era, it’s amazing!

[@1sava]

Her contribution to the modern music industry is immeasurable! Her legacy as a songwriter, composer and arranger is compelling!

[@KrystalJohnson-l6g]

Twinkie is thee “Clark sisters” Detroit legend❤❤😢😢😢

[@kl.8992]

Oh man - they have no idea how legendary this moment is!

[@jan-u8h]

Detroit Twinkle at its finest Queen of the Hammond Organ❤❤❤❤Hire her for Harvard Professor

[@KrystalJohnson-l6g]

Amen to that 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤

[@kathleendantzler]

Twinkie is a genius. I’m so glad I was able to watch this. I’m also impressed by Damian Sneed. His intellect is amazing,

[@oceanwaves1179]

I like Twinkie’s calm spirit when speaking and expressing herself. It really speaks to the spiritual life which she says is so important for gospel artists to have if they want to have a music ministry that’s truly anointed. The Clark Sisters are really a gift to Christian music.

[@elijahharklessmusic]

This is a Masterclass!

[@mikeyccarter77]

I love her humility, grace and spirit.

[@thekaerichtexas]

Churching up in the university, HARRRRRVARDDDDD, to be exact!!!

[@Bluu.87]

Twinkie was in her baggggg! I so love this for her! A true mastermind! 🎖️🎖️

[@denised5530]

Twinkie can tear up an organ!! All praise & honor to Christ! 🙌🏼 She has always been phenomenal ! Well done Ms. Mattie Clark.👏🏽👏🏽❤️

[@JustAThought155]

Thank YOU LORD!!! I have been on the HDS campus. I have witnessed many doctrines that impress the masses. However, hearing Twinkie Clark share the importance and experience of allowing oneself to “decrease” to allow Christ to “increase,” especially when using your creative abilities to esteem The Lord, is indeed a testament to those who have gone before these people and guest, weeping, as joy is so graciously on display during this gathering. Most of all, thank YOU JESUS for taking Twinkie to this prestigious educational institution…to confound the wise with her down to earth humility.❤! I literally have tears of joy.

[@deborahterrell4679]

I hope if anything comes out of this, Twinkie and Stevie get to do something together musically

[@DEETRUTH777]

She can’t lol she’s saved fr

[@SockSnobFilms]

She is simply amazing; a national treasure!

[@leonardjackson1573]

Im so glad Dr. Twinkie Clark is receiving her flowers 💐 💐💐💐💐💐

[@snowwhite6882]

Amen

[@charleswillis3984]

Her footwork is amazing- Twinkie is phenomenal 🔥

[@blacklegend214]

TWINKIE THE GOAT!!!! So glad Damien is helping the WORLD realize the GIFT Twinkie has given us and the TALENT that keeps on giving to our SOULS as we live on earth! Glad to be alive during Twinkies HISTORY making years!!!

[@michellebailey7421]

I came across this while looking for something else. I was so intrigued by these beautiful artists, that I ended up watching and listening to this whole recording. I've always loved Twinkie and her sisters, but Twinkie has remained the same beautiful person through the years. This made me so proud.

[@andreacombs7605]

Thank you, Dr. Sneed, for painting the picture for us!!!

[@HolyGhostFilled]

It’s only by the grace of God she is able to still play like this!!! God is truly merciful 🙌🏾 let him use you.

[@ghicks861]

Love this! She looks like she is having so much fun. God bless this living legend! 🎼❤️🎤

[@soothingmotivations]

Twinkie is THAT artist! She is an amazing musical gift to us. I enjoyed this special, and I'm so glad she's getting her flowers. Thanks for this!

[@imjustlooking888]

Learning Twinkie’s chords and riffs helped my Gospel organ playing to be more contemporary. I thank God for every time I get a chance to hear her. Her compositions, singing, and playing are so anointed.

[@jasonjosh2234]

Just a Diamond but not in the rough but shining bright in this era love me some Twinkie

[@CJ-gf5sw]

TWINKIE really is crazy anointed. It slips out! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@annaware4426]

I reflected on my COGIC church life with gospel music and it totally influenced by Dr. Mattie Moss Clark, Clark Sisters, Andre Crouch, Sara Jordan Powell and The Hawkins family. This was an informative interview and time of worship. Thank Dr. Barron and Mr. Sneed.

[@jameschristopher8824]

In other words, we’re to live in daily resurrection power. The same strength God exerted in raising Christ from the tomb is what energizes your life today-your morale, your encouragement, your patience, your hope, your energy for Christian service, your strength in the face of adversity. Claim that power. Live in God’s resurrection strength today. Remind yourself about it. Not even the World’s Strongest Man can equal the strength of the humblest child of God who is powered up by the Spirit. We need to advance in our experiences of Christ until we manifest His resurrection power in our lives. Watchman Nee

[@TheSeeking2know]

Amen!

[@jameschristopher8824]

​@@TheSeeking2knowPeople often ask, “If God already knows what we need, why do we have to pray and ask Him?” First, Jesus revealed the truth about God’s knowledge of our needs to warn His followers about going on and on in prayer-thinking we have to impress God with our many words (Matthew 6:7). Instead, He gave them a short prayer to pray as an illustration (Matthew 6:9-13). As that prayer indicates, Jesus wants us to come to God as “Our Father”-like a child who asks her father for help. God knows our needs but wants to enjoy our relationship of trust in Him, trust that is built through the conversation we call prayer. Right now, God knows your every need. He is waiting for you to come and talk to Him. Pray as you can; God knows what you mean. Vance Havner

[@TheSeeking2know]

@@jameschristopher8824 Thank you for sharing these thoughts.

[@gospelician]

Damien?!?!?!? 🎹 You did that solo!!! Lawd have mercy! That was incredible!! Cherished, your voice and skills are so appreciated. I wish you all had am online course. I'd surely join.

[@thefrontroomtv]

Brilliant Video! Thank You Twinkie! for Blessing us in the UK also..

[@brilliantdiva5068]

5-1-24 Most Musicians trained in Classical Music cannot play Gospel Music But if you have a Musician trained in Gospel Music they also know how to play Classical Music, Spirituals, Jazz, Rock, and all genres!🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@Eastpointe]

Not true

[@nawlincurly]

Billy Preston was one of the best. Besides Dr Twinkie the only other person who could make a Hammond Organ sing

[@globalpioneer247]

“You Bought the Sunshine” by Clark Sisters and “The Question Is” by the Winans crossed into the clubs, found and drew me and many others out and to Jesus Christ changing our lives forever. Thank you for using the “cross over” music to reach me Jesus.❤🙌🏽😇 This video and Twinkie has blessed me tonight!!!

[@Thekeys36]

Thank you to whoever put this event together. My God, the questions and the way the young man articulated his points were amazing.

[@trevorcollins8530]

Thank you Harvard. Now, pass along that HONORARY DOCTRATE to the woman of God. Please and thank you.

[@lederrickjenkins7029]

She has a Honorary Doctorates already

[@1fnfigi]

What an incredible musician! I don’t really listen to gospel but she makes me want to really go through her catalog. Growing up hearing the Clark sisters I never paid much attention to them individually. But just listening to her play and how she explains music is blessed experience. Thank you Harvard for this. ❤❤❤❤

[@LamontSmithMusic]

This was so good, thanks for sharing this special moment with Twinkie with us! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@glizzeee7]

I just love Dr. Twinkie, watching you from Trinidad.

[@braxtonjackson_]

39:14 Every time i hear her play the High Place i get overwhelmed. Legendary is what we’re talking about here!

[@scorpion787x8]

Twinkie Clark... She has secured her place in "HISTORY"

[@NayRich]

You just know Dr. Mattie Moss Clark is looking on from the cloud witnesses so Godly proud and thanking God for His faithfulness to her prayers for her girls. The legacy continues.

[@charliek8332]

I vividly remember the Clark Sisters on the Grammys doing 'Hallelejuah!' You could feel the annointing through the TV and I kept singing it well after the show ended. I was Southern Baptist and their style of gospel was fresh and new to me!

[@damianbloomfield7692]

The question about Thomas Whitfield was excellent. It was good to hear how he was an influence.

[@nicknat1086]

Twinkie you are such a blessing. Ur music saved me ..saved my soul ..thank u million times over . Thank God for speaking through u

[@dorothyrainey3468]

My QUEEN of the Hammond, Gospel Music!!! Thank God for the consecrated life and anointing He wrapped in this precious woman as a "gift" to the Body of Christ!!! Just love her to the moon! 🥰😇

[@llman03]

This is amazing!!! The anointing is all over Twinkie!

[@TheSistacinda]

This was absolutely amazing!!!!

[@MimifromChicago]

Awesome program! I have watched the Clarks Sisters for years, but have never seen Twinkie interviewed in a format like this, combining interview with her music. Love it!

[@jeffreylather]

I’m so glad Twinkie spoke truth that the secular community doesn’t want to hear. Can’t be secular and sanctified (set aside), can’t be both.

[@royellis4017]

TWINKIE IS A NATIONAL TREASURE!!!! Good God, this lady and her sister's have been a Blessing to me since I was 8 years old and I am now 47!!🔥🙏🏾❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Imarshajane]

Long over due! She is one of the greatest! Imitated but never duplicated!

Twinkie is amazing ❤️❤️❤️

[@sonyabro964]

That was soooo good. She is a legend, thank you for this forum! ❤

[@tweetheart106]

Twinkie is so adorable 😩. Love her, musical genius ❤

[@marvamortley1098]

Continue to play, sing and write under the anointing. I hope you get an honoree degree from Harvard. When I watched the Clark movie, I got the impression you wanted your music degree when you were young, but Mama Moss took you on the road and that became your education. Now the teaching of God has scholars inquiring what God hath done. Your learning is downloaded from heaven, infused with commitment and faith to the Almighty God. God's purpose lived out is effective worldwide. Well done Twinkie Clark. May God continue to richly bless you. Peace and blessings.

[@jovitahollins8130]

Twinkie is the real doctor on the stage. She is not ashamed. She was asked to explain how she does it without being "too spicy". I guess that means avoiding the credit from the Holy Spirit but that thing she got is like 🔥 fire shut up in her bones. If I was a legitimate pastor of any kind, called to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ I would not have a job that would ask me to not express the joy of my salvation. Great job Twinkie. You are true to your faith.

[@isaacscott1063]

I don’t think spicy means not giving credit to God, I think she mens being nasty or a gossip etc

[@lucyhall1463]

Great Honor for Twinkie and Harvard!
