    Gospel is about the pain, and the struggles of life. Just like those that were enslaved, all they had was their voice to help get though those rough and difficult times. Most old gospel hymns were from the cotton fields to give hope to those trying to hold on to life, and to God. Gospel signing can heal the soul and mend the broken heart. It's from the struggle that is still with us, it keeps us connected to those who are no longer with us. Stay tuned and stay blessed

    There is a long standing teaching and belief in the black church that if God gives you a gift, you use it. Be it singing, musicianship, or ministry we are taught that if you give it 100%, God's glory and light will shine through and bring those in that do not know Him. Also what was mentioned about the emotion and years of relationship with God is the other part of it. We channel the emotions that are felt during all the ups and downs we have endured in life, along with the faith and belief that God will keep us no matter what comes in the future. That is the basis of gospel music.

    They are all sisters. Their mother had them learning the different scales in music. The mother was the master in bringing the four (4) parts to a choir. So, those five (5) sisters learned together to not over sing one another and that is where the Harmony comes in.

    Check out the late Pastor Daryl Coley. He was an amazing Gospel singer and also was the singing voice of "Bleeding Gums Murphy" on an episode of the "The Simpsons". He's one of my favorite vocalists. I've seen him performed live many years ago. He was amazing!!!

    I love watching vocal coaches analyze, review, and identify technique especially with gospel singers, because I grew up in the church singing and I learned a lot of these things by imitation and later styling them to “my sound”… it’s amazing to learning what my body is doing to produce those sounds.

      I love how she puts the harmonies together. Its easy enough to understand music theory and place a bunch of notes. Would only take a few years to develop that skill.

But 'Name it and Claim it' is just the tip of the iceberg. Songs like 'Oh What He's Done for Me' 'You Can't Tell It' 'Endow Me' and 'Jesus is a Love Song.' All of those songs from the lyrics to harmonies with her sisters and the arrangements are musically mind blowing. Her writing seems to get better with every passing year.

    @Lesage, thank you for displaying The Clark Singers. Their tight harmonies are a result of their mother’s tutelage. Dr. Mattie Moss Clark as well as their sister Albertina “Twinkie” Clark who is the organist. She wrote and arranged many of their songs. She was beyond her time and is responsible for moving the Traditional Gospel music genre into a more contemporary style.
    Your analysis of this performance was a joy to watch. By the way, I feel your pain as I grew up living by an airport, train tracks, and a military base. I appreciate you sticking with your video despite that challenge.

    What you hear in Gospel music is the shared pain and the church is the only place where we can express or release it into this collective sound of beauty. I loved listening and watching you analyze the Clark sisters. Your reaction to them from a technical aspect was beautiful. The ability to all those things that you hear is from that pain that is ever present.
    Some of the finest voices in music has come from those who have come from a place of serious pain. Amy Winehouse. When you hear those magnificent voices and your body responds to it because you just felt what they experience daily in a way that you understand in a technical musical way.
    Jaron M Legrair and you are my favor on music. You both are very knowledgeable and you teach. your analysis of Rachelle Farrell was my favorite. Your appreciation and acknowledge of her fine piano playing. You give more on the technical aspects of the voice that I like to hear in detail that you do a bit more than Jaron. He gives me the expressive way a singer is expressing their particular way. We both know all about gospel and the Church so with Jaron it's about the sound and delivery.

I almost wish I could hear this through your ears the first time and I grew up around this music as well as other genres.
