Darlene was raised singing and playing the organ in tent revivals with her mother, Mamie Clark. Her mother
was an evangelist, so Darlene was on the road with her family at a very early age. When you hear Darlene sing, it definitely
takes you back to a Campmeeting feel. She has a powerhouse voice and an anointing tht will make it hard for you to stay
in your seat.

Childhood
Memory: Traveling in revivals with my mom, watching miracles take place, singing, and playing the organ constantly If you could meet one person from
the past or present, who would it be and why?
ELVIS! I've always wanted to sing Gospel songs around the piano with him
and talk about the Lord. What
has been your most embarrassing moment on the road?
We were singing at a
Homecoming, and as I went to walk down the stairs, off the stage, I tripped on the monitor cord. I fell off the stage
and landed on my hands and kneews in front of the pastor's wife and mother! The girls were laughing so hard, and when
the church found out I was okay, they had a nice laugh as well.
What has been your most rewarding moment on the road?
Of course, seeing
souls saved and watching my children use their talents for the Lord as young people are saved and blessed and want to be like
them. People being set free from bondage and being healed is so rewarding to see. It's great to see the alters filled!
