The Clark Sisters Masterclass - Women of the Gospel: Jackson, Clark, Franklin - April 13, 2023

[@MrSpain29]

Twinkie is a breathing genius. She remixed this song she didn’t know, and turned it into a modern day anthem!!!! Like for real?!!!

[@simmyf1577]

Yes amazing!!!!

[@mtrheins]

I can only imagine what it’s like to lead a song and have Dorinda Clark Cole simultaneously doing adlibs in your ear. This was so good to see them pouring back into the next generation

[@starbeauty672]

Love how Dorinda is pushing her to sing out.

They need to do more of these classes. This was very nice.

[@jan-u8h]

Dorinda is so pretty!!!! Karen is so pretty!! Twinkie is so pretty!! Jackie is so pretty!! Incredible musical geniuses. Thank you for sowing your talents into this generation. This is beautiful. Keep it up. Do it on a national level. Praying for all of you!!

[@dzejnalukovic9920]

1. Absolutely Twinkie CLARK..... Get them together!!!!👏👏 2. After watching this in its entirety, this is what the Clark Sisters should do more of. Excellent.

[@eLLBdotmusic]

When Twinkie started singing I said wait a minute...let me get my note pad! This is going to be a TRUE MASTERCLASS!!!!

[@eastcoastblaxican4454]

Singing with the Clark sisters this weekend as a member of the choir is an experience I’ll never forget. Thank you to the Clark Sisters for this opportunity and I hope you come back to Yale soon!

[@Nhamp-ig7qj]

I hope these students really understand the weight and the privilege the teacher afforded them. They had to chance to glean from the Clark sisters vocally and musically. Then they were able to receive wisdom from one of the greatest musical writers and arrangers of the 20th century Twinkie Clark that’s a blessing. Her music will be around long after she leaves this earth.

[@lawandarussell4821]

Yes, I agree with you.

[@destinyhaspurpose]

I'm floored by this truth.. Love me some Twinkie Clark..

[@sickeningkamiyah_6357]

When Dorinda stood up and taught that was a lesson that girl needed and a way to help these students thrive and learn

[@you_can_call_me_T]

That part tickled me. She reminded me of one of the old church mothers helping somebody tarry for the Holy Ghost.

[@JesusIsKing1958]

I screamed 😭😂😂

[@c.williams6868]

Twinkie is a musical genius. Literally just rearranged a song she heard for the first time like that on the spot lol

[@MRZIG06]

I love that remix that Twinkie did of the song entitled A New Song! She is the GOAT! That song needs to be recorded because I have been singing it ever since I heard it! And I guess this clip will prove to so many people that the gift of Twinkie Clark is very much alive and well!

[@gr8fullynatural]

I absolutely love that this moment was created in the space of collegiate academia. To receive wisdom and knowledge of Black American Gospel music from living legends is priceless. I hope more of these spaces are created to express this inspirational genre. Gospel musical roots and elements are embedded in all of modern American music.

[@chillbrutha82]

Oh, to be a fly on the wall in that room....!

It was an amazing experience

[@jazzis7]

These women are stunning. What incredible gifts to the body of Christ. There music has been a vital part of contemporary music at large. We need to hear them more in these types of forums to glean from their expertise, there stories and musicianship!

[@ricedamanda]

🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 they ushered in the Spirit into all them songs!! That’s what they were missing. Looooove the anointing of them all.

[@Sc0rpion]

The songwriters should let TCS record those "Sing a New Song" & "Carry Me Through" songs.

[@_donald.harrison04]

Instant hits

[@telicia4084]

Yes I I think they should too

[@KreativeHoliness]

They sound like Clark sisters songs

[@KindlyKhari]

For the record, most of us thought it was a "B-O-M-B" in Gilead growing up (56:17), lol.

[@bbbvids22]

The Clark Sisters are FOREVER!! Dr. Copeland’s words were so true and touching, and heartfelt!! Brought her to tears!!

[@juanitawitherspoon5364]

[@tangelaking7628]

I love the Clark Sisters! I’ve attended Dr. Dorinda’s Singers and Musicians conferences and this is what she does , takes the time to teach and make sure your breathing to hold those notes.🤗

[@cdpmusic]

Oh my word! Watching Ms Twinkie create in real time is unreal. What an incredible talent!

[@CANDYSOULonline]

I love that the clark sisters KEPT IT REAL! masterful teaching

[@msmam4533]

THEEE CLARK SISTER. Twinkie is it

[@knightfly28]

Dear God in heaven knew I needed this today. Thank you Clark Sisters!

[@JourneyToMyDestiny]

I hear Tramaine Hawkins all over that “New Song”!! That’s the drive Dorinda was looking for. Someone ought to pitch it to her for her next single. That whole piece is Walter/ Edwin Hawkins nostalgia. Great job 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽!

[@ArtTheSinger]

I think I would’ve had to exit after that performance 😂

[@yeslia2010Godis]

A glimpse into a free Master Class with one of the most prolific song writers & best vocal groups in Music!!! I thoroughly enjoyed this.. Mama Twinkie knew she wasn't getting away without a snippet .. I had no idea there were many of us at Yale!!!!

[@Supreme4real]

The Legendary Clark Sister’s are amazing

[@dmp7252]

Ya'll did this. That last student song knocked it out of the park. But that organist - he has the chops, but he was slow on the uptake. Maybe he just needs more experience. Because there was enough ANOINTING at this IV-league place on this day for a praise break. There should have certainly been more fellowshipping and carrying on after that Benediction ... that woman could lay out any church with that Benediction. And yet there was silence - fortunately her TRUE words still resounded. Somebody should have took that organ and lead them into praise and worship. My, my, my, ya'll would have had a time. But I'm hear to tell you 2024 is the year of abundance. If you have another master class, take that organ and don't hesitate to move into a praise break or praise and workshop. Don't hesitate. Move quickly! And be abundant with it. Trust, you will touch some one. Ya'll ALL touched me on tonight. Many who will watch this video in the future will be touched. Because as the wind and waves obey, we too, must surrender.

[@iamtroytaylor]

Whewww!!! That testimony at the end!! 😭 Would’ve wiped a WHOLE church out! 😩

[@dennispearson871]

I Loved the way DORINDA Pushed that First Young Lady , ( The SAME WAY MATTIE WOULD HAVE PUSHED HER , Back In The Day , At Bailey Cathedral !!) I'm Getting Some Major Holy Ghost Flashbacks Now !!! ).....

That prayer at the end was just the icing on the cake!!!! Awesome time of outpouring. Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤❤

[@mcook15]

This masterclass is masterpiece. Twinkie and Dr. Dorinda Clark Cole are amazing. The Legendary Clark Sisters showed their anointing, grace and gift throughout this whole class. Mother Mattie Moss Clark came out of Evangelist Clark Cole @44:28 "Hold that note Girl"!!😂😂😂

[@RCsBoy82]

#1 My favorite part was the benediction - that brought me to tears

[@AirOnTheAir]

Literally as soon as I heard the 3rd song I said in my head…”now watch Dorinda love this one!” And I’LL BE!!!🤣🤣

[@brandonbaessa1541]

I'm in Portugal, watching this INCREDIBLE MasterClass. And I can say how much this moment has TRANSFORMED the way I want to compose music, the way THE CLARCK SISTERs are a living influence on my journey is of endless grandeur and richness. The ending with prayer WAS TRANSFORMATIVE about how we should honor God and the people who inspire us, about how we should recognize those who help us grow. I wanted to be able to study and be enriched with all the perfect foundation that YALE has. THANK YOU YALE for enriching me and sharing this INCREDIBLE moment!!!

[@gradeabeauty09]

The legacy of Dr Mattie Moss Clark strikes yet again!! What a wonderful experience this was, I know I'll never forget the times I've witness their enduring anointing. Lovely words of encouragement from Dr. Copeland. DCC sure knows how to teach ppl and meet them right where they are!! And what else can one say about the amazing Twinkie, but phenomenal. Pure genius.

[@TrumpetSAE]

I absolutely love how the professor honored and introduced the Clark sisters. ❤❤❤❤ This was so beautiful!

I Love this and am so very proud of your Professor for having to arrange this event and invite the Legendary Clark Sisters to actually teach and coach is amazing.

Jacky's facial expressions in the beginning during the 1st song are like "Why are we here?"

[@nottoomuch87]

[@Msplaydemkeys]

I love this I wish it was longer❤❤❤❤

[@miraclesblessings5044]

This has blessed my life today!!!!!!! The Clark sisters should produce a project of the new singers and songwriters that they are mentoring. Especially the first...third and fourth songs... praying God's blessings on these students and their professor. As busy as they are the Clark sisters took the time to come help these students....and Ms Twinkie is moving slowly. I'm praying for her healing and complete recovery. Now THIS is a Master Class!!!!!!

[@susanhutchinson633]

YES! This was such as AWESOME experience to witness my favorites-beautiful living legends LIVE sharing their God-given wisdom and knowledge under God's anointing as only they can. It was such a blessing to see them impart constructive criticism and encouragement and support to these new artists and I know that they will NEVER forget what they learned from them and will include the feedback as they pursue their musical careers!

I grew up C.O. G.I.C.listening and mimicking The Clark Sisters! Every bit of instructions that The Clark Sisters gave was on point! The sound that Twinkie brought to C.O.G.I.C. was exactly what I remember growing up in many, many C.O.G.C. choirs! "Is My living In Vain!" The Clark Sisters, has the most unique, wicked-good, crazy-excellent always, and I mean always on point with their vocals!

[@faafafineartist]

All songs have a similar TEMPO that drags the spirit in the room, instead of LIFTS the energy. Even through cord changes, the tempo is mono.
