Best version ever. She plays with such ease, it's like she's one with the piano. Her voice, her hands and those keys all work together. Absolutely love this.

She is the sound of the Clark sisters I can hear Jackie, Denise and of cos Karen in her voice. Her voice is so angelic. Able to soar in the higher register and reach deeper into the low as well supported by the unusual ability to use extreme melisma and trills
@ethnicbomb17 жыл бұрын
Twinkie is the quiet storm. She sings like every one of her sisters. She still sings sweet and pretty like Jacky. Has that piercing soprano like Denise. She's jazzy(scats and riffs)like Dorinda. Twinkie is like Karen because she too will leave you breathless after she's done singing, though not as much.

Twinkie is the whole reason Jacky, Denise, Dorinda and Karen developed their individual sounds. Mattie started it but Twinkie was the centerpiece and taught every sister their parts. Even now, they need Twinkie. She's the leader for a reason.
@tevon62583 жыл бұрын
The major difference I see between the way that Twinkie and Karen sing is that Karen's role in the group was lead soloist (not lead singer -- like Twinkie oft was) so she perfected that gift of singing ornamentally over things, which with decades of execution pushed her improvisational ability over the top. You'll notice what I mean (lead soloist vs. lead singer) on their early records especially, Twinkie would sing the verses, which requires a level of holding back as it's important to deliver the melody fairly unembellished as to establish the musical ideas for them to later be riffed on, but on that 2nd chorus (or 3rd depending on if the song started with the chorus) Karen would take over to exclaim and push it over the top (You Brought the Sunshine being a great example).

My father went home to be with God in 2008, then in 2009 God came and took my mother home. I didn't understand why, just coming into Ministry. That was their heart desire to see me go forth. But they never got the chance. And it hurt sooo bad. I wanted to give up thinking I couldn't do it without them. But God had me to listen to Twinkie sing this song, it really has bless and encourage me to know that I can do ALL THINGS through Christ., even at age 50.
