Karen Clark Sheard singing Will of God at 17 years old !!!!

[@bez26]

Her voice has aged so well. She still sounds VERY similar to this at (I think) 60. A lot of singers-especially women-voices drastically change with age.

[@KultivateWKah]

Right the voice is supposed to mature this was just the beginning she sound like a baby mixed with the anointing

[@musickfreek]

She sounds so much like old Twinkie here

[@SuperGirl90100]

She sounds so much like Dorinda at the beginning omg

[@elitelokkz]

Wow you can definitely hear the similarities in her and Kiki when Kiki was younger.

[@humbled92_Mister]

Yes!

[@deborahyuille7874]

Gosh, Karen just can sing her face off! Even at that age!

[@AnointedFamily469]

I think her and Denise sounded so much a like.

[@laronrhodesmusic]

So much alike! Denise's tone is just more airy

[@jaries9027]

2:00 to 2:07 is Mattie all day….Karen really does sound like all of them. But then again she is the baby so she had heard them all by this point lol.

[@John.1010]

I love me some Clark Sisters! Saaaaang 17 year old Auntie Karen!!!!

[@teeblack9066]

Karen was born to do what she do very gifted and talented 🔥🔥🔥🔥💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 08-11-21

[@jamellfoster6029]

She was already a vocal powerhouse even at 17 years old. Wow!!!

[@nadzl118wilson9]

I remember Karen Clark saying in an interview that her mum Dr Mattie moss Clark told her she had a young tone when singing with her sisters you can hear it in this song

[@wthomas2284]

The Anointing makes the difference!This choir must have been under the direction of Dr Mattie Moss Clark. No doubt the Queen of the B3 Hammond, Twinkie Clark was playing. Y'all seem to have forgotten the phenomenal voice she had. Blessings for the obvious respect and affection the sisters share. Its not over till God says its over.

[@JaySmith-mz7vg]

That walk down & the inflections at 1:33-1:40 was all Mattie! "You better, you better, you better"

[@brandonblocton5246]

Yesss I believe all Clark sisters started out singing like Dr Clark especially Dr Cole she sounded like Mattie for ATLEAST 15 years

[@courtneydallas934]

I pray I age as gracefully as auntie Karen ! I love her whole soul♥️♥️ her voice is so anointed

[@shareebell8857]

Voice is one of a kind! And 1st Lady is Absolutely Stunning ! I have yet to meet her and her gorgeous sisters. But, I will❤

[@TuanNGai]

She got more vocally aggressive as she aged. She was one of the greatest to do it even as a youngster.

[@marquishalsell]

Wow i never knew this was out before kiki's time awesome

[@justacup8676]

Anointed child.

[@nevaehlheaven]

God gave me an ultimatum: do his will or die forever. I'm living. I'm doing his will and I have joy because of it. Sometimes we get so used to feeling good that we forget about the evil. And we let our guard down. Never. I will do his will! I will be his daughter! I will live and so will my decendants. I claim it. I will teach them about the peace of God and the ultimatum. And they will live and will be able to ignore the evil around them that wants to kill them. It will NOT succeed! It WILL NOT prosper! God is my Sheppard. And I go where he says.

[@bonjovibon304]

This going to be dope in a few years when Karen and Kierra add the grand baby (Kali I think).

[@queenamunet7032]

This just brought me too tears. God is so Good 😊

[@geromebrown7582]

TWINKIE SLAYING THAT ORGAN 🙌🏽

[@myckalaross8973]

I’m so in love with this woman and her sisters 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Karen sung that and there’s no doubt that she’s definitely Anointed by GOD

[@godschild2012ful]

[@vibiify]

I believe she was 16 years old when this was recorded….

[@TheVoiceOfReazun]

You sure she was 17? 🤔 her voice and vocal dynamic was a bit mature here. Like in her early 20’s , however, she sounds beautiful, per usual!!!!

[@kcsfanss]

Yes, she was 17.

[@deoneken]

Have to remember she’s youngest and is my living vain album came out when she was 18..the Name It Claim It video w/ Dorinda sermon she was 18

[@reggiemitchell5198]

@@deoneken no she was 20 and 21. Is my living in vain came out in 1980. The performance where they sang is my living in vain, name it and claim it, pure gold and hallelujah was in 1981. Karen was born in 1960 she should’ve been 20 and 21. She was 18 when she first sang A praying spirit.

[@laronrhodesmusic]

She was 17 here

[@blacknesslove09]

Definitely not 17 however more like early 20s

[@billythomas691]

I think she was 25? Years old.

[@kcsfanss]

No..she was actually 17

[@1Chicanery]

@@kcsfanss Right. Lol. She was a teen when she sung this song. By the time she was in her 20s, she was doing all of the vocal tricks, runs and growls! Her mom wouldn't let her do that kind of singing on major songs at that age. People forget that growling, runs and playing with your voice was not a norm back then and frowned on by the leaders of the church. They were ahead of their time! Than you for sharing this video!

[@anr5458]

@@1Chicanery Right!!!! She was 17 lol. I was ready to correct it. But I see y’all already handled that.
