The DVD release of The Clark Sisters Live: One Last Time, the final live TV performance by one of the top female Gospel groups of all-time, has debuted at #1 on the Christian Video Charts. The DVD is the first released in a new partnership between the Gospel Music Channel, which produced and world premiered the show as part of their Front Row Live concert series, and EMI Gospel.

“It’s rare to have a #1 album, a #1 single and a #1 music video but with an iconic group like the Clark Sisters not that surprising,” commented Larry Blackwell Vice-President and General Manager of EMI Gospel. “The unique and exciting element is having Gospel Music Channel as a real partner in this story. Their on-going willingness to expose Gospel artists has been a key success factor to ‘Live: One Last Time’ and we look forward to a successful long term relationship as we both grow the genre.”

“We were honoured to have the legendary Clark Sisters perform in one of Gospel Music Channel’s signature series. This immediate initial success of the DVD is testament to their popularity and is a great way to launch our partnership with EMI Gospel,” says Charles Humbard, President and CEO of Gospel Music Channel. “EMI Gospel is a fantastic partner and we’re looking forward to building an even stronger relationship with them to bring more great artists and their music to the fans.”

The farewell concert, an intimate show with family, friends and fans, took place in March in Nashville. The group performs new songs, including their new single, Blessed & Highly Favored plus takes a trip down memory lane performing most of their popular songs including You Brought The Sunshine and Jesus Is A Love Song.

The well-known Clark Sisters; Jacky, Twinkie, Dorinda and Karen; are widely known for their inimitable vocal signature “Clark Sisters Sound.” They have been one of the top Gospel groups in the United States for years. The sisters have continued to expand the legacy begun by their mother, Dr. Mattie Moss Clark.

The immensely talented Detroit natives fashioned a successful livelihood with eight highly successful albums, including He Gave Me Nothing To Lose (1979), Is My Living In Vain (1980), You Brought The Sunshine (1981), Sincerely (1982), Heart and Soul (1986), Conqueror (1988), Bringing It Back Home (1989), and Miracle (1994). In 1981, the sisters posted a Billboard chart topping hit on the Dance charts, You Brought The Sunshine, that garnered a gold album and established the singers as a nationwide pop culture phenomenon. After moving on to equally successful solo careers and countless achievements, The Clark Sisters return as pre-distinguished figures in Gospel music. They reunited last year at Houston’s George Brown Convention Center. A CD of that show, also called Live: One Last Time, was released to Christian retailers across Canada on April 10th and also hit #1 on the Billboard Gospel charts. Produced by visionary Donald Lawrence, the CD was the first new project from the illustrious group in over a decade.
