That would have been perfect and Epic! That place would have exploded. Twinkie Clark by herself coming in to play the organ would had that place go crazy.
+Jonathan DesVerney Gospel Channel I agree twinkie playing would have just been awesome but I was even thinking just Dorinda by herself and her getting a chance to direct also would have been perfect since she was part of that music department road dog crew with Professor Stevenson, Dr. Whitley, and Dr. Nelson
That three Music Department Presidents gather under the same roof. I think this is the first time we saw Professor Iris Stevenson at any Convention or Convocation since Judith McAllister became the President almost 8 years ago.
I could be wrong, and if I am somebody please correct me, for what I know, when a Presiding Bishop become leader of the COGIC, they sometimes put in their own people to be in charge of different COGIC departments. And sometimes when people get replace hurt feelings comes with that, so this was a reunion of current and former Music Department Presidents coming together to praise the lord. I could be wrong, but I believe Proffessor Iris Stevens hasnt been seen at any COGIC event since she was replaced as President about 8 years ago, so this was a homecoming for her.
You're right bro. Iris, Luvonia (and Bettye) were all apart of Dr. Clark's administration when Bishop J. O. Patterson was presiding bishop. Then when Bishop Ford was Presiding bishop. To be honest, Luvonia didn't even want to be in that position. She was kinda thrusted into being music Dept president by Bishop L. H. Ford who was her jurisdictional bishop. When bishop G. E. Patterson got in office he gave Professor Iris a chance to serve as president and she did well. However when Blake became presiding bishop he put his people in office and really ruffled a lot of feathers. Honestly, it seems like they were trying to eliminate the music department of anything that had to do with the "Clark" name. Dr. Mattie Clark had a strong department. And of course she involved ALL of her girls.
@@MaeSekou the irony of that whole situation is that Dr. Clark's youngest son in-law, J. Drew Sheard (in spite of his father being a bishop and over the board of bishops, he is in fact married to a Clark) became a Bishop under Blake's leadership.
If Dr. Clark was living, she would have been overjoyed!
the spirit that rested in that house. they even sounded like they did in the 1980s and 70s. Wow. God blessed them that day!!
To start out with a Clark sisters classic is like OMG WOW fr fr 🔥🔥🔥
Man if the clark sisters had been there the building would have been brought down by the amount of power

Yes I agree with that too. You can't mention the COGIC music department without mentioning the Clark family.
+Jonathan DesVerney Gospel Channel Right
Harold Johnson Absolutely right. And the Late Eld James Moore, the Late Eld. Timothy Wright, Douglas Miller
I'm not from COGIC, but if Dr. Myron Williams could have this again for 2023, I know it will be COGIC IMD and the rest of their communities.

I'm sooo lost. wats happening? wats the "historic moment?"

+Dazsa Mansco okay thanks for correcting me Dazsa. I wasn't sure if she had came around or not.
Jonathan DesVerney Gospel Channel I'm nondenominational so..had no idea Judith was the current director.
So what was the problem, I know it involves the music department?

@@MaeSekou and as a result the COGIC sound we all grew up on is now lost.

If you don’t know who Iris Stevenson is, you know nothing about the music history of COGIC
wow, she couldn't let the Clark song be the one, she had to add another....smh....
Lori Jenkins She wanted both former presidents to direct a song. Luvonia Whitleys favorite song to direct was Total Praise when she was president.
Rickey Richardson incorrect. I work with Madame Whitley. That was not her favorite song, NOR does she like or was ever good at directing.
Lori Jenkins bite ur tongue pls remove that post!! Madame Whitley is second to none and loves ministry!! are u from Chicago??
