THE CLARK SISTERS x JESUS IS A LOVE SONG / Voice Teacher Analyzes

[@thequeenofresources]

And Twinkie Clark is responsible for giving every sister their part in the song and how to sing it she's a master genius at this!

[@Raquel986]

Twinke’s vocals is nasty! She can do so many things! They all have beautiful voices.

[@kwilcox1126]

That part

[@Curly.Leigh23]

The musical telepathy between these sisters is unmatched. It’s a true testament to their musical gifts and interpersonal relationships. They are literally talking to each other while singing.

[@MaeSekou]

Wow. In all of my 40 years of loving the Clark Sisters, I have never heard it out like this. Awesome!

That note Karen hit, slept in, woke up & continued hit non-stop was definitely a gift. There’s only a few singers I know that can do that & they are….Teena Marie, Patti Labelle, Rachelle Farrell, Whitney & Mariah.

[@denisehenry3427]

Years ago, PBS on interview (documtary)Ms. Mattie Moss. The sisters were very young then.

The harmonies, the singular voice from all of them. One voice but you can hear the differences. The famous runs. Ohhh and that forever note

This has been my favorite song of theirs from day one . Twinkie’s mimicry of a clarinet then the “ muted trumpet “ effect ? Pure mastery and genius ! The blend of this sisters is no less than PHENOMENAL ! Truly anointed Sisters born of an anointed musical genius - Mother Mattie Moss Clark 💖💕🔥🎶

[@JustLettuceBee]

What’s even MORE IMPRESSIVE is that at 16:09 she didn’t take ANY TIME TO RECOVER HER OXYGEN! She went right into the next note IMMEDIATELY!!! 😩🥺😟

[@sagemoonchild333]

It's the unison for me. The way they sing the same note together WITHOUT ANY dissonance is incredible. That is time and practice right there. They have very unique voices from each other. So the way that they come together to sing unison is what amazes me.

[@ericakane2274]

Dorinda voice is my Favorite. She is THE BEST MIDDLE SINGER EVA!

[@redzoom7857]

Yes, Dorinda is just amazing to me. No one sounds like her.

Twinkie Clark birthed Karen Clark now we have kierra!

[@moniquewrites9046]

As a singing sibling, I like hearing siblings that sing. Just like siblings look alike, they also have one common feature that makes them sound alike. I can hear myself when I hear my sisters. It is really creepy but also kind of touching because we lost our mom and this is something she gave all of us and we all have the same voice but it’s like the difference between a viola, violin, and cello. It’s like the one family might have the same nose or high cheek bones, we kind of have similar features in our voice. It makes me feel like a part of a family and DNA. When I hear Karen I hear her sisters, her daughter and even J Moss their cousin. I hear their familia. I hear their inheritance.

[@joannapilgrim]

Yes, there's something uniquely special about a singing family. The Walls Group bless my soul like this ALL the time. My family is like that, too, in Barbados 🇧🇧

[@joannapilgrim]

Condolences on the loss of your mom. My two younger sisters lost our mom, too. Jesus is near to the broken hearted. You're not alone

[@RBWJR]

This was amazing!!! You mentioned her tongue in the video lol.... I don't think people realize how most of them have a lisp and how their lisp actually contributes to their amazing sound

[@quonito3650]

YES it definitely contributes to the “Clark sisters sound”

[@CoCMember]

Lisp and a slight stutter. I think that's why Dorinda cab scat so smooth! Listen to her speak and she stumbles (pauses) a lot.

[@angeluvsvid]

when i accidentally broke one of my front tooth it left a gap i kept cause it allows that air to maintain

[@kelodarelus5133]

Mariah Carey mentions Karen Clark Sheard as one of her inspirations. What an honor but we all know Karen been doing this for years along with her fabulous sisters.

[@irislee8711]

Dorinda killed that! The runs were so smooth. I’m definitely over here tryna copy her licks. I wish I could grunt like Twinkie tho. Karen the most dramatic, of course. That long note was insane!

[@PhenomenalDoe]

Yaaasss!!!! Same! Dorinda is the truth!

[@MaeSekou]

Sis don’t hurtcha sef’ 😂

[@thetruthforyou1]

I can never get Twinkie’s whole verse! She killed it

[@adriannewilson714]

She sounds just the instrument she sings about. Sounds like a symphony music soooo sweet

[@rch1jr]

When I first heard this back in high school I thought it was just Karen singing not all three Their blend is unmatched

[@mej.2008]

Same!! I was like, wow she gave that second part a different tone… like she’s a diff person, and a different different tone for the third part LOLOL Had NO idea it was the three of them singing lead lol

[@mej.2008]

“And even in the midnight hooouuur-er” sound like J. Moss. The Moss really came out of Karen on that part lol

[@kyjones6879]

[@jmlegrairstudio]

I appreciate this! Never too late to start tho! 🙂

[@trishrenee06]

Me too! Didn’t realize singing could be so technically intentional and colorful… it’s deeper than just a mere sound coming out your mouth

[@bbopoconnor8040]

You are awesome and I love how you break down the vocals. I can tell you are a gifted singer as well. I've watch other 'so-called' vocal teachers analyze vocalists, but never in this way where you draw us into this vocal lesson. Thank you for being so vocal about the Clark Sisters' vocal styling. I love it🥰

Mama trained them sisters ❤️❤️❤️❤️ one voice. Sends chills down your spine when they sing ❤️❤️

[@naetiontv]

Idk if y’all noticed but when she first started holding the note of course she took a big breath and then as the note went on her head went down. Then she came back up after she let it go. I could be wrong but maybe that’s how she held it so long. Either way Karen deserves to be in some record book for that note ✨✨👑

[@trishrenee06]

These technical lessons is what becomes the bridge between singing and song artistry... when you're visualizing the song more than just throwing notes together.

[@jmlegrairstudio]

Yep!

[@dericjarmel]

[@rashawncampbell7619]

Funny how Twinkie and Karen makin one another laugh lol

Look like Twinkie wasn't trying to sing her part 🤣 I always giggle at that part

I love their harmony. It's so well blended with each other that you can't tell which person is singing which part.☺️

[@GreatnessNtheFLeSh]

U really can tho

[@wlj4501]

I suspect also since Karen was much younger than the others that she has had more of an opportunity to study and develop her gift.

THE CLARK SISTERS, to me, set the STANDARD of a female group harmonizing. Their incredible uniqueness is absolutely brilliant! They were ahead of their time. And, whomever is the lead singer, utilizes the microphone to make unique vocal sounds. Good God!Hallelujah! Sometimes they'll do techniques with a microphone that blows my mind! Remarkable! No one was doing that before the Clark Sisters. And, Twinkie, what a prolific songwriter, vocalist, and organist. The Clark Sisters, to me, still to this day, are unmatched! Can I get an AMEN? 🎼🎹🎤🎤🎤🎤🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵

[@r.a.l.p.h]

As for the to meeeee she actually has held it even longer in concert. I predict that she made the note ride on the release of the big breathe she took. That’s the reason why she was able to hold it that long and end it properly. The control was great

[@crohniequeenab]

She did it again in kierras channel to see if she could hold it as long as she did originally and I think she did it during their virtual concert too. She’s just crazy.

[@cathymitchell6713]

I am from Detroit. These are our gems. I have had the opportunity to watch them and their mom Pastor Mattie Moss Clark. I have also had the opportunity to sing in a choir as backup for Dorinda many moons ago. Karen has a specific breathing exercise/technique to hold notes. I’m sure they all use it as they taught it to KeKe and are teaching it to their great grand grands as well. They have demonstrated the technique. You may be able to find a video.

There harmony is perfect and it is so soothing to the ear.

[@A.W._Background]

Twinkie did a lot of singing in trumpet for this song.... Love, Love, Love!

[@YouGotOptions2]

It should be understood and recognized that out of THIS GROUP there was MANY singers born who patterned themselves after them. Faith Evans, Kelly Price, (Karen), Fantasia (Dorinda) Brandy and Missy (with the harmony arrangements). And just so we are ALL clear Karen Clark was/is the greatest singer of HER Generation she was even Whitney Houston's favorite singer. At any rate also dont forget that their Mother and SISTER Twinkie Clark (she usually played the organ etc was essentially their "vocal coach" as well) most people who arent really associated woth the church usually never know this.

[@Thecharmedonee]

I’ve always said faith was Karen’s vocal daughter
