OMG I was watching it LIVE!! And, it was pure FIRE the way they turned the Grammy's out 1983! We were not accustomed to seeing 'us' on tv praising God then. Spectacular!!

I love that their mom was on stage with them

I don’t care what anyone says !! This moment was epic !! Some of them people didn’t have Jesus no where on the mind they got a full dosage in that short amount of time…. Religious folks can kick rocks …

[@christopherdieudonne]

1:41 Lionel Richie looked *real* stuffie but Sheila E was totally here for it.

[@kaylawaylaaa25]

right!!! I was so confused by his response. It looked like Dionne was here for it tho. lol

The white people was just so amazed 😭😭

[@researcheverything5942]

They dropped some Jesus like a 💣 at the Grammys!

[@iluvmyboba]

"You got a right to Praise HIM." And that is what I know. Hallelujah, indeed. Love YOU, Almighty GOD.

[@TheGamersGuide819]

Well black gospel singers back them were vocally trained . They treated their voices LIKE INSTRUMENTS!!

[@keepingitrealandtruthful.5081]

Yes their mom was opera trained vocally and classically trained on the piano and in turn she trained her daughters.

[@TheGamersGuide819]

@@keepingitrealandtruthful.5081 amazing !! That’s why they sound perfect

[@TerrellAmari]

Gospel singers now are STILL trained.

[@TheGamersGuide819]

@@TerrellAmari THEY WERE ALL TRAINED , ALL OF THEM .

[@dylanwashington2419]

She also sent them to music school in Detroit to gain extra training because Twinkie asked her mother ( Dr Clark) will Gospel destroy their voices because the instructor didnt think gospel was suitable vocally, and Dr Clark in return ask Twinkie, "has my voice been destroyed"????😂😂😂😂😂

[@robynn1978]

Sheila E was into it ❤️ The white performers were like what is going on in here... Wonderful and anointed performance..

THE KILT THAT STAGEEEEEE

[@foxyboop4164]

I'm so glad this posted!! I'm 40 today but was raised Pentecostal like COGIC how they grew up. No pants, no blues, (worldly music) jewelry, or make-up! I introduced my diet Catholic husband to them and now Karen is one of his favorite singers period! When he was in the ICU, I played "He loves me" ❤️ on repeat per his request! He doesn't even remember shaking his head to it but I played it for him and he responded. That was years ago but he still loves them to this day. ❤️ TCS are part of MY upbringing and I'm not ashamed of the Gospel!! I'm not where I should be spiritually but God will always be in my heart. I bless Him for grace and mercy! The best singers are Gospel singers, period!

[@chocolatecapricorn9418]

Best version of this performance. Whoever posted it, thank you!

[@shawntae-sm1zo]

I came here after the Clark sisters movie

[@peteygrind3556]

So nice seeing this, I remember meeting them at a James Cleveland gospel convention in the 70s I was mesmerized by twinkles voice

[@nicknat1086]

They did that..the crowd felt it

[@taneikaallison9899]

Had mama with them❤️❤️

[@RitadawnTedescoPerez]

Mama ,Clark Shoulda Stayed With them.!!! I know I would have.

Dope! Never knew this performance existed!!

[@melissamaria8645]

This is Epic … ❤❤❤

[@marcosdias3991]

How the world turns around. The Presiding Bishop of COGIC at the time was furious to see Dr. Mattie Moss-Clark on stage with her girls. While he was having children out of wedlock. He even tried to remove her from the position of President of the International Music Department of COGIC. Today, Karen Clark-Sheard is the First Lady of the entire Church.

[@Marquiiiss]

Lionel and Dionne was jamming!!

[@snowwhite6882]

He acted scared

[@jessicacooper7454]

This is crazy I'm watching the movie on lifetime for the first time rn. I came to see how correct they got it. And they nailed it then and in the movie. And gosh you guys black folk done took over the grammies....1983 until now not to many white folk go no more well I should say there are way more blks that are invited an rich now.

[@Nanbebe7]

This is exactly what I'm thinking, feeling, and this is the exact song that came to mind after I watched the weather forecast as the balls of hell / AKA / July 2023 is FINALLY SLITHERING AWAY. Hallelujah! Good riddance! Go!! Outside the fact that I hate very loud explosions / gun / lightning and thunder And thusly never into loud fireworks, I detest the dangerous hellish heat and humidity that plagued us the entire month of July!🥵🥵😫😫 GOOD RIDDANCE! GET OUTTA HERE! GET!!

They went in there like the Ward Singers and said "Ya'll gon have CHURCH whether you want to or not!"

This was filmed in 1985 not '83.

[@reggiemitchell5198]

I think dorinda was singing soprano on this song with Denise because they would’ve over powered her with 3 of them singing alto

[@thegospeloutlet2000]

Im sure She sang soprano alone, her soprano always stands out and Jacky and Dorinda have strong alto tones.. i.e the Gospel Movie. Always listen for her operatic "hallelujah",. Niecys tone is distinctive.

[@reggiemitchell5198]

Yeah, once Karen takes lead, Denise and Dorinda are soprano, Jacky is alto by herself, and Twinkie takes tenor.

[@terrancetyson7535]

@@keepingitrealandtruthful.5081 Denise left between 85-86. This video was recorded early 1985. This is the same Grammy Awards show that Prince and Tina Turner performed at in 1985. The Clark Sisters were nominated for a Grammy in '83, I believe that's why people get the years confused.

But how? Explain

[@bossteamentertainment6836]

Maybe you should go read the part of the scripture where King David's was embarrassed to see him dancing in the street as the Ark of the Covenant was returning home; hint: God punished her now go find out how. The problem is you have been taught by an uninformed leader/church or your yourself need to brush up on your reading. All this to say they did exactly what they were supposed to do! They brought praise & worship where it was most needed! AND I recommend you to go look up Pastor Shirley Ceaser song "Hold My Mule" (the 'green beans/potatoes/tomatoes song). It starts with the story of a man being kicked out of church for wildly praising God but they find out later why he was so excited to praise God.
