Like Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Mary J. Blige, and many of music’s biggest divas over the years, Beyonce has made no secret of her admiration of the legendary Gospel group The Clark Sisters – even sampling the sister act’s song ‘Ha Ya’ on the JAY-Z-led ‘4:44’ track ‘Family Feud’ (as we reported here).

Five years later, Bey is revisiting The Clarks via ‘Church Girl,’ a track on her new album ‘Renaissance’ (hitting shelves July 29).

Ahead of its arrival, the lead singer of the GRAMMY-winning quartet – affectionately known as Twinkie Clark – took to social media to salute the 40-year-old for revamping their early 80’s tune ‘Center of Thy Will’ for the highly anticipated LP.

Hear her words inside:

Twinkie Clark (from the Clark Sisters) sends a thank you message to Beyoncé for including a sample of her song ‘Center Thy Will’ in ‘CHURCH GIRL’.

On Thursday (July 28), the Queen of the B3 Hammond Organ took to the keys to thank Queen Bey for including the Clark Sisters classic on ‘Renaissance.’

“Thanks Beyonce for listening to my music and I hope it blesses your soul,” Clark told the ‘Break My Soul’ singer before launching into a live rendition of ‘Center of Thy Will.’

Proving she’s still got those golden pipes at 67-years-young, press “PLAY” on the video above to hear Twink’s full message.

‘Center’ was first found at the center of the Clarks’ eighth studio album, 1981’s ‘You Brought the Sunshine’ (the LP that birthed their signature song of the same name).  Hear it below.
