Artist:Karen Clark-Sheard
Song:We Acknowledge You
Album:The Heavens Are Telling
Karen Clark-Sheard goes right to the top of the list of great singers. She is a gospel singer with legit four octave range and jazz chops. I don't know where she got the jazz chops because growing up in Detroit with sisters Jacky, Dorinda & Twinkie and as daughters of gospel pioneer Dr. Mattie Moss-Clark, they weren't allowed to listen to secular music. We almost lost Karen in 2001 because of complications during hernia surgery. Since her recovery, her music has been smokin'. We Acknowledge You was recorded live at her pastor husband's church in Detroit and kicks off the CD in energetic fashion. The song was written and produced by frequent collaborator Donald Lawrence. Karen signed with Word and released a new CD earlier this year. She's one of the best singers anywhere.
