The Clark Sisters - Dove Awards 1987

Jacky, Twinkie, and Dorinda singing at The Dove Awards in 1987! Enjoy!!

[@Edward_Strong1982]

Man there is no debate twinkle is the Clark sisters! People rarely talk about Twinkie vocals. She actual is the most well rounded singer out of all the sisters . Her and Maddie taught them what they know tbh.

[@LilJessyeJBlige]

She’s my favorite

[@HOPE.TheresNoPlaceLikeHomeClub]

Agreed! The Bible says one plants, another waters. But God gives the increase. Mattie taught them all. Twinkie helped them master their parts. And then they each developed their signature sound.

[@rahsaanephriam48]

I am pretty sure Karen was just about to give birth or had just given birth to Kierra at the time of this taping.

[@karenpayne5660]

Denise and Twinkie resembles their late father Elder Elbert Clark. They should be twins.

[@reggiemitchell5198]

Y’all realize that Jacky was singing alto and soprano she started with the alto and then on the “don’t hold your head down” she forget to drop to the alto so dorinda dropped and she stayed up there

[@HOPE.TheresNoPlaceLikeHomeClub]

I love how they can cover each other so effortlessly. Unless your musical someone like me would've missed that. But someone like you, that you hear what they're doing, in the moment, just says these girls are in sync.

[@CrixusHeart]

​@@HOPE.TheresNoPlaceLikeHomeClubHow can you say "someone like you" to @reggiemitchell5198 when you don't know if he/she graduated from julliard or has a master's degree in music. You would've done better just to mention your own prowess and then said generically "others who may not know...".

Omg I noticed this too!😂

@@CrixusHeart that has nothing to do with it..:obviously if I was the only one who pointed it out then that shows I have an ear. A degree doesn’t have anything to do with a musical ear especially if I’m correct….

Dorinda on soprano - sing mam!

[@josiahwalker4447]

Really

[@thegospeloutlet2000]

She is sing alto, you can really hear her at 0:35 They just have had a track in the background for Karen’s soprano.

[@reggiemitchell5198]

@@thegospeloutlet2000 no she is singing soprano u can hear her tone on the high note cause it’s raspy snd there isn’t a backing track if it was den everything in the original track would be in this performance and this performance is faster den the original song and Jackys singing alto

[@jamesadams2953]

yes she killing it

[@KHerronCOMS]

@@reggiemitchell5198 Lol, I wasn’t going to respond to that - but, thank you! There is no backing vocal track - all live vocals¡ Dorinda is singing soprano. It’s clear when they break into harmony on “smile,” after the first unison line.

[@direfranchement]

I’ve never seen Twinkie move this much.

Karen wasn’t there because she had just had Kiki

[@jamaldavis7517]

Had to come to the comments to confirm if that was Karen or Dorinda. 😂

That's dorinda. Karen has never been that skinny

Mrs. Dorinda was pregnant in this clip

Where's karen?

[@jmarc6272]

I think she had just had Kierra around that time!

[@blaque843]

@@jmarc6272 k.thank you!

[@mschari1484]

This was the year Jackie, Karen, and Dorinda were pregnant at the same time

[@carolming6746]

To God Be The Glory Twinkie you handled it even in the absence of Karen

[@BriMcF]

She was around 7 1/2 months with Kierra at this point. She was very careful with that pregnancy since she miscarried at nearly full term roughly a year before.
