Y’all heard the Clark Sisters’ version of Stevie Wonder’s “Higher Ground” yet? They recorded it with Robert Randolph as part of the Oh Happy Day: An All-Star Music Celebration album, released by Vector Records/EMI Gospel last week. The project also features the Soul Children of Chicago (shout-out), Mavis Staples, Al Green and Heather Headley, as well as mainstream artists like Jon Bon Jovi, Michael McDonald, Joss Stone and Queen Latifah.
Honestly, at first, I thought “here comes a trainwreck,” but it’s really not bad AT ALL! Dorinda seemed a bit more reserved until the end, but each of the ladies held it down throughout. I think they really put their signature “Clark Sisters sound,” with the harmonies and acrobatics, on a classic song.
Listen:
PLUS, I’m glad to see them branching out and doing more stuff in different arenas, getting some of the recognition that they deserve from the mainstream.
Now, lemme know what YOU think!
