Maurette Brown Clark's "It Ain't Over" Hits Top 30
Jackson, MS-"One God" by Maurette Brown Clark (AIR Gospel / Malaco Music Group) has garnered close to 50,000 spins according to BDS tabulations, spent over a year in the top ten (10), peaking at the #2 position on Billboard / Radio and Records airplay charts, hitting #1 on Mediaguide airplay charts and still remains a people's favorite continuing to receive significant spins on radio stations across the country.
Her Album The Dream captured two 2008 Stellar Awards, one for Praise and Worship Album of the Year, the other for Children's Performance of the Year for her daughter Jada Simone Clark's vocal performance on "It Ain't Over!"
Maurette Brown Clark's follow up single "It Ain't Over (Until God Says It's Over) is encouraging the hearts of thousands of Americans across this country during this tumultuous economic time while beginning to make its run up the Gospel airplay charts, debuting in the Top 30 on the Mediabase Gospel charts a few weeks ago and currently rising up the Billboard Gospel charts, now in the #19 position.
Millions witnessed Maurette Brown Clark's performance of "It Ain't Over (Until God Says It's Over) on TBN's Praise The Lord! with special guest speaker Juanita Bynum on July 24, 2007 when she turned her experience on TBN into a pure and powerful ministry moment, proving that Christian television can transpire into an extraordinarily moving television experience.
Ms. Clark's stirring performance left onlookers moved to tears, reaffirmed in their testimonies, hitting their "MySpace" accounts afterwards letting others know about this historic event that had just taken place or simply searching "YouTube" to see if they could catch a glimpse. That is one example of why people affectionately call Maurette Brown Clark the "Princess of Praise & Worship," for she truly resembles a daughter of the King.
