Have you ever been to Memphis,TN during the COGIC Convention….

During the COGIC convention there is nothing but church and major gospel recording artist and world known people.  There are midnight musicals every night and nothing but the greatest of the great attends and minister through song. You hear new groups as wells and old time favorites. The Clark sisters are always going to be there because of their mother “Dr. Mattie Moss Clark”, the creator of three part harmony in the Church of God in Christ, is the originator of music for the COGIC.  There is no one like the Clark Sisters and you will see Dorinda Clark in action like never before. Directing the choir, teaching music, having choir rehearsal all day long.

I grew up in the COGIC and I have made numerous of Memphis trips. I can remember staying in choir rehearsal with Dorinda Clark Cole and other great artist like Richard Smallwood, Walter Hawkins and others oh can’t leave out Timothy Wright.  All day long rehearsal on a Saturday to be prepared for the musical that night. Being a Mason Temple with the great soul food down stairs. The turnip greens, fried chicken and the corn bread.  Then the 24 hour prayer room with people praying all night long. Here is a clip that my friend, Greg Payne recorded while in Memphis during one of those great musicals….
