Karen Clark Sheard Music

Clark–Sheard began singing gospel with her sisters at age 6 in what became known as The Clark Sisters. Her involvement in the Island Inspirational All Stars’ “Don’t Give Up” in 1996 (along with Donald Lawrence, Hezekiah Walker, and Kirk Franklin) led to her signing with Island Records. Clark–Sheard’s solo career began with the release of her debut album Finally Karen in 1997.

The album, consisting of half studio recordings and half live recordings, was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Soul Gospel Album in 1998, won Clark-Sheard the Lady of Soul Award for Best Gospel Album that same year, and peaked at #28 and #2 on the U.S. Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and U.S. Billboard Gospel Albums charts respectively.

Denise Clark Biopic

On November 11, 2018, It was reported that the Clark Sisters would have a television biopic, The Clark Sisters: First Ladies of Gospel, that is set to air on Lifetime on April 11, 2020. The film is executive produced by Queen Latifah, Missy Elliott, and Mary J. Blige.

The film stars Aunjanue Ellis as Dr. Mattie Moss Clark, Angela Birchett as Jacky Clark Chisholm, Raven Goodwin as Denise Clark Bradford, Christina Bell as Twinkie Clark, Sheléa Frazier as Dorinda Clark Cole, and Kierra Sheard as her mother, Karen Clark Sheard. The script was written by Camille Tucker, with a teleplay by Sylvia L. Jones, and Christine Swanson directing.

Karen Clark Sheard 2nd Chance

She released her Elektra debut album 2nd Chance in 2002, so named because of the “second chance” she was given by God after her near-death experience – which is referenced in her daughter Kierra’s song “You Don’t Know”.

The album was led off by the single “Be Sure” and though Clark–Sheard was in excellent form vocally, the slick, progressive sound of the disc was not received well in the gospel community. However, the album still performed well commercially and critically reaching #82 on the U.S. Billboard 200, #27 on the U.S. Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart (her highest chartings on those charts to date), and #2 on the U.S. Billboard Gospel Albums.
