[@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!!!!

[@tinaturnerforpresident5918]

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

[@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.

[@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!!

[@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.

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!

Thank you for thissssss

[@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 😭😂😂

[@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..

[@blacklegend214]

I have watched this atleast 10 times and ready to see it again...lol

[@c.williams6868]

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

[@princechristophermcmillon7562]

Dorinda TO ME has the most CONTAGIOUS SMILE out of all her sister's. EXAMPLE... @1:08:47-1:08:51😍 Karen TO ME has the most PUREST SMILE out of all her sister's. EXAMPLE... @1:26:11-1:26:21😍 Jackie TO ME has the most INTENTIONAL SMILE out of all her sister's. EXAMPLE... @55:04-55:09😍 Twinkie TO ME has the PRETTIEST SMILE out of all her sister's. Example... @32:39-32:44😍 "Beauty is abstract so you'll see it how you see it" ***Written In Respect*** #MyFavTwinkie 👑

[@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.

[@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!

[@KindlyKhari]

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

[@juanitawitherspoon5364]

Karen is dorinda biggest Fan !! You can tell she really looks up at her ❤️❤️

[@chillbrutha82]

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

[@_donald.harrison04]

It was an amazing experience

[@ricedamanda]

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

[@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!

[@SanLee-b8q]

Powerful. Thank you for teaching music!!!!

[@bbbvids22]

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

THEEE CLARK SISTER. Twinkie is it

[@reidx512]

The young lady who sung a New song, has a beautiful voice......

[@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

[@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 !!! ).....

[@karifoster4851]

awesome the part aunt Dorinda standing coaching is awesome

[@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!

[@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 😂

[@CANDYSOULonline]

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

[@knightfly28]

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

[@wilmaallen9872]

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

[@Supreme4real]

The Legendary Clark Sister’s are amazing

[@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!!!🤣🤣

[@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!!!!

[@LissaVents]

Lol Dorinda has sis shook...but that's great confidence building and adding a lil flavor to the song...that Clark Sister sound 😂😂

[@blasianjai9701]

Can’t be the only one who was impressed by this tenor note! 1:26:26 💗🔥 cmon and sing it ma’am!!

[@blessedandfavored9242]

THANK YOUUUU!!

[@RCsBoy82]

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

[@hsbthree]

The living proof of the genius of Dr. Mattie Moss Clark. Extraordinary masterclass.

[@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! 😩

[@brandeewild]

A TRUE MASTER Class! Grace, elegance, truth, skill and anointing. Yale will NEVER be the same!! Thank you for sharing!

[@hookedonhustle]

Sis. Twinkie is like “if y’all don’t stop asking me to play the organ!” 😂😂

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.

She can sing !!!!! Her tone is so clear and rich !!!!!

I've passed this video up I don't know how many times, but I'm glad I finally gave in and watched.

[@bbbvids22]

This was so amazing!!! I keep watching certain parts!! The songs “Surrender” and “Carried Me Through” were definitely the top songs!! The sisters need to sing those songs for real!! They straight flipped them!!!🤯

[@samuelking6398]

Only true legends can sit and still sound like this, a true gift from God 👏🏾

[@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!!!

[@nottoomuch87]

BOREDT 😂

[@nopjack7278]

Wonderful! An absolutely outstanding Master Class.👍 What a blessing to receive feedback and mentoring from the incomparable Clark Sisters. I hope the many nuggets these Ladies of the Gospel dropped will deeply impact the future singers, writers, and musicians attending this class.

[@verahines1022]

❤ I just finished watching this and I was not disappointed. The Sisters were right on the money. I have been hooked since their mother Dr. Mattie Moss Clark was alive giving Cogic and others the Word of God thru music. Hallelu💯🙏

[@emeldamillsgakpetor1478]

I love this Master Class. I will always love the Clark sisters

An amazing Masterclass! Thank you to the Instructor and to the Clark Sisters for a wonderful class/service! What a treat!

[@Shulemdior]

On the 2nd song Jacky told Dorinda to say something, Dorinda said “Twinkie” Jacky turns to Twinkie like “you start it off” Twinkie said “nah yall , I started it off” 😂😂😂😂 they’re so funny lol.

[@starbeauty672]

[@leslieh761]

I'm so impressed with these young songwriters! Really great writing! I was impressed with the Yale Gospel Choir Director! He has the Spirit!! The Clark Sisters brought their usual soul & anointing!

[@DEETRUTH777]

[@annettemeyers934]

What a wonderful opportunity to witness the creative anoELinting of the Clark Sisters. I felt like I was at choir rehearsal. Then the benediction of Dr . Copeland.

[@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!

[@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!!!!!!
