[@parrishwilliams5145]

I loved this from start to finish. One thing I miss about that era is that singers of that era let it be known they were there to handle business. From personal experience I can say Daryl Coley was one of best to do it and VERY down to earth. Rest well Bishop Carlton Pearson. Thank you for EVERYTHING you contributed to the ministry and allowing the world to hear from you!!!! 💪🏾

[@sharkkeeper01]

Do you all hear the range that Daryl is singing at…that’s just crazy…he’s doing some of the same notes as Karen…that’s insane

[@TheRoyal9Billion]

I thought I was the only one who noticed him matching her notes.....BEAUTIFULLY 🥰😇🤩

Debra Jones was perfect to lead this song. I have always loved that breakdown at 4:34. I wish Daryl Coley was still alive.

[@treymarks4122]

Karen "Coloratura" Clark-Sheard! Karen wore those warp speed head to chest runs at 3:20 and 4:19 OUT! Thee Daryl Coley was astounded at her execution. You can see the look of amazement on his face.

[@okebaram]

Head to chest? That was actually full voice from top to bottom. She has a brighter color in her upper chest voice and it gets amplified on video versus the way it sounds live

[@treymarks4122]

[@therlowfoy9738]

You must not know Daryl Coley and his talent. I know all of the Clark girls all the way back when Twinkle was going to Howard back in the day. Coley was a voice for the ages and is one of only two male vocalists who could stand toe to toe with the Sisters (Rance Allen was the other).

I noticed something Karen beasts for a minute then step back then beasts again then step back...most singers especially at that time people knew the power and agility of her voice so when she did sing they respected what was about to happen.

Its okay you can just say you want Daryl and Karen alone

[@thechristianteen9167]

I think you mean all of them didn't need to he up there. I mean I think they all wanted to share a testimony or someone told them that this was the song they were all supposed to sing together.

[@sidiquegeloo1816]

​@@thechristianteen9167 that's the best collaboration I have heard.

[@dslapster64]

Excellent

[@okebaram]

Not sure why Carlton Pearson (blue jacket) thought he needed to get in the middle of all that amazingness, just saying

[@thechristianteen9167]

You shady But you couldn't even hear him. (Edit: Nevermind you could he just was barely singing) Make sure that if you sing with people that you can be heard with them or make sure you're actually gonna sing. Also don't try to overpower anyone to puff yourself up or feed your pride. Make it about Jesus.

[@showingoutwithzen2530]

I thought the same thing.

[@DaMaestroMadeIt]

Often times, the producers asked him to sing as well.

[@DaMaestroMadeIt]

I'm sure she was aware that they'd join in. The point was for the Vocal Powerhouses of the Conferences to close out in that song and fashion.

[@dlegend8667]

I also, don’t think there was any harm done here. To me, it looks like Daryl mouthed to her “you did good.” I took that as maybe she was nervous to be singing with two beast of a vocalist. I know I would be. And very humbled. Lol and to be clear, I’m definitely not saying that she isn’t good at what she does. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been asked to sing. All meant respectfully 😊

@@dlegend8667 He was actually mouthing to her “Keep going” because she thought when he was coming in that she was supposed to stop. But he was letting her know that they were singing together. I’m guessing she was singing the whole song and then at the last minute, the producers asked Daryl, Karen, and Carlton to join her in leading so they could close the concert out with a big finish.
