Twinkie Clark, of the award-winning, groundbreaking Gospel group, The Clark Sisters, is set to release a tribute to the late Andrae Crouch on Tuesday, January 13th! The iconic singer, songwriter and produced teamed up with her nephew, Larry Clark, for a remake of Crouch’s classic song, “Soon And Very Soon”. The new rendition will be featured on Larry Clark’s upcoming project, “Have Mercy On Me”.
Twinkie revealed that she wanted Crouch to hear the song before he passed, however, she never got the chance via social media. Also, in a recent NBC News article, Twinkie and Larry were both quoted in regard to Crouch’s legacy. Check out what they had to say below:
“Andraé helped pave the way for a lot of us artists. He wasn’t only a trend setter, but he knew how to reach all kinds of audiences,” says legendary gospel artist Twinkie Clark. “There’s just so many styles and facets of music in his writing,”
“Andraé released songs that were so impactful to the nation and to the church that his regular songs for records became hymns. If you look in certain hymnals right now, ‘Soon and Very Soon’ is in the hymnal,” says gospel artist and producer Larry Clark.
I really wanted Pastor Andrae Crouch to hear this new rendition of “Soon And Very Soon” before he went… http://t.co/CfTVLP2hxL
