This is Twinkie Clark, and at that time, no female artist could match her professional expertise and singing style. What set her apart even more was her "tone," described as "angelic." No one could flawlessly emulate her tone. As you read this, I know someone might be thinking of Karen Clark Sheard... 🤔 I have an in-depth understanding and countless hours of study in music and voice, not limited to these two artists. What differentiated the two at THAT TIME was that Twinkie used her voice literally as an "instrument." She had the most profound understanding of music, giving her the greatest advantage as the greatest female musician in the gospel industry and other genres, solidifying her superiority. Twinkie, a musical "genius," played what she heard and sang what she played LITERALLY. 🤯 She used her voice back then as an instrument, similar to how Kim Burrell does today. And NO, I'M NOT A FAN OF KIM, but you can't deny the truth. There's a reason she's known and solidified as "The Mother of Contemporary Gospel Music." ***Written In Respect*** #MyFavTwinkie

Twinkie is truly an icon!!! People really overlook how innovative she was and is with her vocal ability. People always credit her songwriting which is extraordinary but when it comes to her vocal ability, she is otherworldly. Even after what’s she’s been through, her distinct vocal tone is still there🔥🔥🔥

It’s honestly was Twinkie’s ground work that Karen, Dorinda, Denise, & Jackie all adopted. To sing really low but also really high, smooth tonal qualities or rough growls/Squalls, super human runs/riffs!

Karen Clark Sheard said that Twinkie IS the Clark sisters!!!!! That says it all

I love the way Karen looked at her in that old clip. Total admiration

She definitely has the better tone and control outta all her sisters

Twinkie was and is a musical genius and a vocal beast. She is really overlooked by many from this generation. Because of illness her voice isn't what it used to be but to a real fan and anyone that studies the Clark Sisters you can't deny Twinkie's greatness

5:53/6:00 Ladies and gentlemen that’s how you vocally RUN! phenomenal icon she is. 🔥💯💯💯

I will be glad when the COGIC platform themselves gives Twinkie the flowers she’s due. Everyone says how she’s underrated or under credited but what about the actual church starting??

I love how when she sings and when she know she sounds good she smiles

People's sleep on twinkie so much ....I think she deserves to be up there and so many peoples sleep 💤 on her music 🎶 to much

She's the loudest out of all sisters. She can slice right through karen

It's always how Karen looks at her big sis for me, that's love, respect and admiration right there

One of the most anointed, gifted, singer, organist, songwriters to grace the Gospel Industry.....will ALWAYS be my Favorite 💖👍

Powerhouse Soprano🔥🔥🔥 Singgg auntie Twinkie!❤️❤️❤️

Absolutely LOVE HER!!!

Whew!. Subscribed! Lord knows I love Twinkie! She needs all over her flowers and it's well deserved.

He need some subs ASAP for this good content I just spent an hour watching all the vids (yes I watched multiple times)

You picked my favorite for the very 1st clip!!!! I still haven't moved on yet!!!! That's when Karen, Kierra, Twinkie, and Kim were at (I believe) Disney.

Twinkie has always been my favorite..! She’s my idol when it comes to organ cause I play as well and I love her singing

So she was the blue print I see

When u got it u got it.

My dear lord... 👌😍 I mean.... the Queen herself... 🇧🇷 love herr

They forgot her Famu project, live in Charlotte; Never leave me with Vanessa Bell Armstrong; Finally Karen live video- Love Song; The Grammy’s- When the Clark Sister’s song during the Gospel section. Twinkie was killin You Brought The Sunshine.

Love to hear Twinkie, I could listen to her all day and night 🙏🏾. The Clark sisters are wonderful together or individually ❤🙏🏾

This just made me smile 🙂❤️

It’s the lady that said “I’m singing Alto”🤣🤣🤣

I miss Twinkie BACK in the early 80s when she and her mom would conduct choir rehearsals at Pentecostal Institutional Church Of God In Christ and at Mason Temple C.O.G.I.C. where she performed lead of C. H. Mason Memorial Choir, at the Midnight Musical during the Holy Convocation of the Churches Of God In Christ, here in Memphis, TN. Those were the days.

I love her she stays on top fr fr

Twinkie is a guaranteed soprano!

Forever anointed without the shadow of doubt. HOWEVER, vocally speaking...0:40 - 1:23... displays that during THIS particular era, Evangelist KCS... ...wasn't the ONLY one with the total & complete "shut it DOWN" capability. lol🔥😧🙌

Twinkie is absolutely insane lol. It's ridiculous that "using your voice as an instrument" doesn’t include her outside of gospel communities.
