Three-time Grammy award winner Dorinda Clark Cole is one of the most gifted vocalists in the music world today. Carrying on the legacy of her mother, the late Mattie Moss Clark, Clark Cole has had much influence over a generation of singers both as one of the award-winning Clark Sisters and as a solo artist.

As a member of the Clark Sisters, Clark Cole won three Grammys in 2008 for Best Gospel Performance as well as the individual Best Gospel Song. In 2009, she was awarded Stellar Award for Best Female Artist of the Year. Clark Cole’s latest release is her third solo album, Take It Back.

Born and raised in Detroit, the second youngest of The Clark Sisters, Clark Cole attributes her career to her mother, who saw the gift of singing and preaching in her at an early age. Back in the 1960s and 70s, when other children their age were playing outside, Clark Cole and her sisters would work on their famous familial harmonies.

The gift of talking that Clark Cole’s mother saw in her as a little girl has evolved into a phenomenal preaching ministry that goes hand in hand with her singing ministry. “I can’t leave the stage without saying something … and even when I preach, I can’t leave without singing a line of something,” she laughs.

However, she hasn’t always been at such a joyous place in her life. Clark Cole was once a wounded soul who contemplated suicide. She remembers, “I was in a state of depression and I was about to drive my car off a bridge. I began to accelerate to 80 miles per hour. God spoke to me and said, ‘Dorinda, are you going to let everything that has been invested in you go down the drain?’ I began to take my foot off the accelerator and the car started coasting right to the bridge. And then I heard, ‘Peace be unto you.’”

This evangelist, singer, musician, composer, entrepreneur, visionary, wife and mother also serves as assistant to the Elect Lady of the Evangelism Department of the Church of God in Christ. She is also a member and administrator at the Greater Emmanuel Institutional Church of God in Christ. Additionally Clark Cole has ministered internationally in England, Japan, Germany, France, Korea and made history in South Africa as the first woman to minister in the pulpit to over 4,000 people.

In September 2004, Clark Cole received an honorary Doctorate of Divinity from Mt. Carmel Theological Seminary of Fresno, CA. She is also Founder and CEO of Lifeline Productions Inc., which holds an annual Singers & Musicians Conference.

As a featured performer for Verizon’s How Sweet the Sound™ national tour, Clark Cole is a force that can speak to anyone who has ever been through situations in where health, strength, finances or home may have been taken away, giving them inspiration, hope, and something to hang on to.
