Dorinda Clark-Cole

Born in Detroit, Michigan on October 19, 1957, Dorinda Clark-Cole is a member of the famous singing family The Clark Sisters. Composer, musician, singer, TV presenter and evangelist, Dorinda Grace Clark (not her real name) began singing in church with her sisters, forging a style that borrowed from gospel, soul and jazz. Joining the family group in 1970, she went on to develop her own career with the album Dorinda Clark-Cole, released in 2002 on Gospo Centric Records. Nicknamed "The Rose of Gospel", her second album reached No. 5 on the gospel charts in 2005. She followed this up with Take It Back (2008) and collaborated with Kirk Franklin, before touring with her sisters and winning three Grammy Awards in 2008 for their album Live - One Last Time. Still very much involved in the evangelical scene, she hosts The Dorinda Show and records the albums I Survived (2011) and Living It (2015). In 2024, she returned to singing with the track Great and Mighty.
