Timeline
Dorinda Grace Clark-Cole (born Dorinda Grace Clark; October 19, 1957) is an American Grammy Award-winning gospel singer, songwriter, musician, talk show host, and evangelist.
Clark–Cole is best known as a member of family vocal group The Clark Sisters and as a daughter of pioneering choral director Mattie Moss Clark.
As a member of The Clark Sisters, Clark–Cole has won two Grammy Awards.
She is known to the music world as the Rose of Gospel Music.
Clark–Cole was born on October 19, 1957, and raised in Detroit, Michigan, to the late Elbert and Dr. Mattie Moss-Clark.
Clark–Cole began singing at an early age with her sisters Karen, Twinkie, Jacky, and Denise.
The sisters sang in their father's church and usually performed songs written and composed by their mother.
Clark-Cole, a soprano referred to as the "jazzy sister" of the group, helped develop what is known as "The Clark Sound", which often features high and fast melismas, riffs, runs, scats, and soulful growls.
Clark–Cole attributes her fiery, convicting singing style to her mother, who saw the gift of singing and preaching in her at an early age.
Back in the 1960s and 1970s, when other children their age were playing outside, Clark–Cole and her sisters had to work on their familial harmonies.
Clark–Cole says, "We made a lot of sacrifices. My mom was a stickler for making sure we rehearsed before we went out to perform. She saw the gifts and talents within us and started shaping and molding us. She taught us discipline along with how to use our gifts."
Clark sang lead on "Overdose of the Holy Ghost", as well as on "My Redeemer Liveth", the B-side to The Clark Sisters' biggest single "You Brought the Sunshine".
Clark–Cole married Gregory Cole on December 2, 1978 and together they now have 2 children, Nikkia Cole-Beach and Gregory "Jay" Cole Jr. Dr. Cole also has two grandchildren.
Clark–Cole ministers nationally as well as internationally in countries such as England, Japan, Germany, France, Korea and South Africa.
She made history in South Africa, having been the first woman to minister in the pulpit to over 4,000 people.
Clark-Cole's self-titled solo debut, Dorinda Clark-Cole, released in June 2002 on Gospo Centric Records/Zomba Label Group, won two Stellar Awards and a Soul Train Lady of Soul Award.
The album featured the hit single "I'm Coming Out".
Her second album, The Rose of Gospel, was released under the same label in August 2005.
The album debuted in Billboard's top 5 on the Gospel charts and garnered a Grammy Nomination for the Best Traditional Soul Gospel album and won 2007 and 2009 Stellar Award for the Best Female Artist of the Year.
The live portions of both albums were produced by Asaph Ward.
After being pushed back from a prematurely stated date in late 2007, Clark–Cole's third solo album, also released on Gospo Centric Records/ Zomba Label Group, Take It Back, was released on April 15, 2008.
Producers Alex "Asaph" Ward, PAJAM, and Rodney Jerkins contributed to the project.
As a member of the Clark Sisters, Clark–Cole won three Grammys in 2008.
Live – One Last Time won the Best Traditional Gospel Album.
Its album track, "Blessed & Highly Favored", won the Best Gospel Performance as well as the individual Best Gospel Song.
With the group she appeared nationally on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, ABC's The View, Bobby Jones Gospel, Lift Every Voice, Gospel Superfest, TBN's Praise the Lord, The Stellar Awards and The Lady of Soul Awards.
Clark-Cole has been evangelizing and making speaking engagements annually for over 20 years, along with her singing career and being a wife and mother.
In 2009, Dorinda released a six-song (EP) album entitled In The Face of Change on September 21.
It included hit songs such as "Change" written by her son Jay Cole and "BAMM" which was a "Verizon Select".
Released on her own ministry label, "Harvestime Ministries", the album was never heard of until she announced it the day of its release.
A video on YouTube has a preview of all of the new songs on the record.
In early 2009, Clark–Cole performed "Nothing but the Truth" for the Sojourner Truth unveiling on Capitol Hill for First Lady Michelle Obama and other officials.
Another solo project, I Survived, was released in August 2011 under a new label, Light Records.
The project also contains duet titled "Thank You" with her sister, Twinkie Clark.
Clark–Cole was featured on the title track of Kirk Franklin's Hero album.
Clark-Cole is a staple in the Church of God in Christ of which she is a licensed National Evangelist, Assistant State Mother for the Michigan North Central Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction, and in 2016, was appointed by Bishop Charles E. Blake as the Elect Lady of the COGIC's International Evangelism Department.
She taught at the Clark Conservatory of Music in Detroit and is an administrator of ministry at the Greater Emmanuel Institutional COGIC.
Clark-Cole's preaching ministry has also gained interest within academic spaces.
According to scholar of religion Ashon Crawley, By attending to the Black Pentecostal aesthetics of whooping found in Clark-Cole's "Why Do I Come Back for More" sermon, Clark-Cole's homily is examined as producing the worship space as a discontinuous and open sonic space, open to the other voices that both proceeded her moment of being overcome with Spirit -such that other women gathered around, held and hugged her -and extended the preacherly moment by sociality, through opening up and diffusing the very grounds for the concept, for preaching, for listening, for breathing.
Crawley would go on to offer a reading of Clark-Cole's whooping that places the fundamental quality of such aesthetic sociality, not in the fact that it can be shared but in the fact that it must be shared by all, for vitality, for life.
