Commentators on the group’s career will include Faith Evans, Jermaine Dupri and Ledisi.
Gospel music has been the backbone for most, if not all, forms of Black American music for centuries. It’s influence is evident in blues, R&B, funk, jazz and hip-hop. Few gospel artists have been as particularly influential and innovative as The Clark Sisters.
Starting out as a quintet, siblings Denise, Dorinda, Elbenita, Jackie and Karen have been spreading the Gospel since the 1960s. Thanks to the progressive songwriting of Elbernita, nicknamed “Twinkie,” the Clark Sisters helped modernize the genre thanks to songs like “Is My Living In Vain,” “You Brought The Sunshine,” and “Blessed and Highly Favored.”
This Sunday, Fox Soul is airing a special that chronicles the career and legacy of the Clark Sisters with Hollywood Confidential Salutes The Clark Sisters Special. During the special, luminaries from several genres, including Jermaine Dupri, Faith Evans, Ledisi, SWV, Mary Mary, and Donald Lawrence, all give testimonials on what the Clark Sisters mean to them.
