Much like many of secular music’s most respected vocalists (see: Whitney Houston, Patti Labelle, Aretha Franklin, Mary J. Blige, Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, etc.), Mariah Carey has made no secret of her admiration of Gospel royals The Clark Sisters.
The feeling has long been noted as mutual as the sister act have expressed their apprecation of the Songbird Supreme, even tackling some of her most famous hits in tribute.
Now, if word from one of the quartet’s members is to be believed, they’ve finally taken to the studio to blend their powerful voices for new music.

The Clarks are credited as pioneers of blurring the lines between Gospel and secular music – a nod they’ve only cemented by collaborating with the likes of Snoop Dogg, Jermaine Dupri, Mary J. Blige, Missy Elliott, Anita Baker, Stevie Wonder, and many others over the years.
Appears they’re not done yet.
Sunday (August 8), Dr. Dorinda Clark-Cole – one-fourth of the legendary Clarks – took to her home church, Detroit’s Greater Emmanuel Institutional, to dish on the latest happenings of the sister ensemble. Among her announcements was news that the group had tag-teamed with Carey for a new track.
While the purpose of the tune was not disclosed (i.e. holiday-themed, Gospel album, etc.), just the mere revelation was enough to send both acts’ fans into a frenzy.
The report is the latest in a slew of whispers about the Pop diva’s next project which – if the rumor mill is to be believed – will be lined with a series of duets, including work with Brandy and possibly Celine Dion. Click here to read more about that.

I’m more excited for the Mariah and Brandy collaboration.
Never heard of them.
All they do is holler. I’ll pass!
I hope it’s a great song so the sisters can continue teaching g the girls
How could Mariah knows this nobody cares gurl band but JLO? 💅🏿 Messsssssss.
I just never seen the infatuation with them…yes they can sing but they just give me hypocrite vibes and teas..and they seem like a cult or some ish, say one thing about any of these heauxs the whole family is going to come out the woods w their verbage..I don’t care about them being Legends, I just don’t too much care for them but I am here for Mariah finally achieving one of her dreams..I know she always wanted to work w them
The church kweens are obsessed with them. No one else cares.
They are a gospel group, ONLY. They are famous SINGERS. So singing with MC is a natural fit and about time…..
A who dem be?!?!
Of course this will be a classic combo, they all love the savior Jesus Christ 💕🙏♥️
This is so long overdue!!! I can’t wait to hear it. I was raised on the Clark sisters music. They’re definitely pioneers and innovators for crossover gospel. If it wasn’t for them there wouldn’t be a platform for Kirk Franklin & Mary Mary among other gospel artist who actually get music played on R&B/Hip Hop stations. And Mariah has been noted a Clark sisters fan since the beginning so this is going to be amazing!!!! Hurry up and drop the album MC!!!
