Clark Sisters - Is My Living In Vain (live)

In "The Gospel Sound", his standardwork on gospel music, Tony Heilbut writes with great admiration about the Clark Sisters' live version of "Is My Living In Vain", especially the complex harmonies.
Just re-read the piece. Or if you don't have the book, buy it!! It's essential reading for all gospel enthusiasts.
The Clark Sisters are members of one of gospel music leading families. They are the the daughters of Mattie Moss Clark. Their uncle is Bill Moss. The Clark Sisters are Elbertina "Twinkie" on keyboards, Dorinda, Karen, Jacqueline "Jacky", Denise "Niecy" all singing. "Is My Living In Vain" is taken from their 1980 released album "Is My Living In Vain" (New Birth LP 7056). It was later on released on CD by Columbia with the same title.
