The Clark sisters movie #thefirstladiesofgospel is out tomorrow on @lifetimetv and the stan in me can’t wait. If you don’t know get to know, these ladies have been very influential in contemporary gospel + r&b in terms of style and runs and have been sampled countless times over
Karen Clark Sheard, the ‘MJ’ of the group

The category is TALENT
They were always cleverly weaving secular music into their songs, catch the Earth, Wind and Fire run
Twinkie Clark(lead) is the genius behind their vocal and instrumental arrangements
Sample for Jay Z- family feud
This song was my introduction to them, they have a vast catalogue spanning over 40 years, most of it is on Spotify but theres some jems on YouTube. Living legends
In my humble opinion, if you’re a fan of the R&b we know and love today you MUST appreciate gospel arrangements and harmonies and 70s smooth grooves/r&b, these are the foundations
Songs:
I won’t complain
Is my living in vain
Balm in Gilead
Endow me
Blessed and highly favoured
Ha ya(eternal life)
I won’t complain
Is my living in vain
Balm in Gilead
Endow me
Blessed and highly favoured
Ha ya(eternal life)
I left this out the thread, air tight harmonies https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👌🏾" title="Ok hand (medium dark skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Ok hand (medium dark skin tone)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👌🏾" title="Ok hand (medium dark skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Ok hand (medium dark skin tone)"> song-pure gold
Idk why this song wasn’t picked up for a closing song in a movie yet, but it needs to happen #TheClarkSisters
