By Robert M. Marovich
“Great and Mighty” is Dorinda Clark Cole at her evangelistic finest, declaring the wonders of Jesus because he not only set his people free but gave them victory over death.
In keeping with her membership in the Church of God in Christ, the Rose of Gospel doesn’t stop at Calvary and the Resurrection. She also references the fire falling during Pentecost as another example of the Lord’s power. In fact, she transforms the word “power” into an onomatopoeia with her commanding vocals, as the background singers respond in kind with zesty precision. One of the Clark Sister’s best singles in some time.
