I like how Auntie Jacky snuck in at @4:53 and got her a piece too. Put your ear buds in she’s strong in my right ear. Go head Auntie!!!!

THIS is the classic CLARK SISTERS sound!🔥

[@1988bcr]

Yess... SO True its the Legendary Clark sound 🙌🏾

[@princechristophermcmillon7562]

Twinkie Clarks your ear is IMPECCABLE.🙌🏿 I MISS THESE YEARS when she would sing so intentional and FOCUSED. (No disrespect) If you are easily offended by critiques then I advise you NOT to read the following because I'm not going to debate its NOT that serious... 💯 The following critique is for those that are Music Majors and/or those that have "Perfect Pitch" lets put your ear to the test... I wanna see how many caught that mistake that Twinkie KNEW was about to come out of Dorinda from Twinkie FOCUSED on the music change starting at @4:21🤔 IF Twinkie would've not interrupted and IMMEDIATELY came back in at @4:24? Again those especially with perfect pitch listen carefully at the music starting at @4:21 🤔 a focused singer KNOWS where the song is heading. Those that know when singing with an orchestra it's IMPERATIVE that the song be sanged EXACTLY how it's written directly in front of the orchestra accompanying either by the singers reading the music or by with MOST gospel singers "Memory" Twinkies musical ear is so impeccable she heard the change but KNEW where Dorinda was going back to the "Land where..." and of course Twinkie ear heard the song going to... "Let freedom ring" (looped) If you are STILL IN DOUBT then I can't make this no clearer from where Twinkie just took control of it at... @4:33🙌🏿 EVEN THO DORINDA HAD CAUGHT ON TO WHAT TWINKIE HAD DONE AT @4:24 AND DORINDA EVEN SHOWED IT AT @4:30 BUT AGAIN TWINKIE TOOK OVER AT @4:33 I BELIEVE TO MAKE SURE PLEASE NO DISRESPECT TO DORINDA 😘 Trained Musicians and Singers you do know what I'm talking about so for those that are die hard Dorinda fans I'm not argue with you because we all have a propensity to make mistakes. Again Twinkie KNEW where Dorinda was about to go. She'll forever be not just the heart and soul of this group but the "Brainchild" ***Written In Respect*** #MyFavTwinkie

[@reggiemitchell5198]

THIS!!!!!!!!

[@bromil96]

That's why the sisters always look to Twinkie for the keys when she's with them. She a beast.

[@cortney4soul]

No offense taken as much as I love The Clark Sisters. Twinkie has the BEST overall understanding of music Theory, when compared to the others.

[@bonmam9511]

Yeah I noticed it Not offense taken

[@HOPE.TheresNoPlaceLikeHomeClub]

I'm not musically trained, but they say Dorinda always forgets the words so she adlibs. It seems that's what was about to happen and Twinkie got her back on track. Hands down, Twinkie is my favorite. The others may have perfected their signature sound, but Twinkie laid their foundation.

[@bronxboy2998]

#Dorinda rocked this same fit on #JohnPKee “Strength” video, at #Gosposummerfest ‘96.

[@PMillz20020]

Haha 😂😂 chhiiilllleee….rocking nearly dat exact same mid-90s HAIR bump too. I’m guessing she hopped in a TAXI🚕 & jetted over to John’s concert, right after dis. (Prolly stopping for uh quick tuna-melt on the way🤷🏾‍♀️) LOL #KnowingJohnWasGonnaChurchTill2am😒

[@larrymccullough8622]

Twinkie's vocal placements were a better fit on this than Karen. Twinkie should have led the entire song.

[@princechristophermcmillon7562]

I hate to say it, but I agree. Not every sound needs to be taken to church and oversung, especially not a patriotic song. If you look at some of those white people's faces in the orchestra that are trained musicians, I promise you they're thinking the same thing. This is why I favor Twinkie over all the others: she approaches a song as a musician rather than just a singer like the rest do. This is why her placements are always on point; she allows a song to breathe and never oversings, demonstrating the mindset of a true musician. She innately knows what to do. Every singer and musician should study her, because there’s a reason why she is known as the mother of contemporary gospel music. #MyFavTwinkie
