 “People need to meditate on their personal relationship with God and praise Him for His goodness,” Jacky shares, “and I hope that the music on this project will provide the catalyst for them to reflect on God from their own points of view.  It is my prayer that the words of these songs will bless and heal people.”

Through the years, Jacky Clark Chisholm’s voice has been heard as part of the powerful and unique sound of the Clark Sisters on songs like Angels Watching Over Me, No Doubt and Listen to My Heart Beat.  Now, with her name recognition and musical ability, Jacky Clark Chisholm is launching a solo career and ministry that is sure to continue the legacy of the Clark Sisters.

 “Having worked with The Clark Sisters for years,” states Doreonne Stramler, CEO/President of Entheos, “it’s exciting to see what God is doing through this project.”

Expectancy features ten songs, including “Blessing Me,” which features The Clark Sisters and “I Have Decided,” a duet with Ronald Winans.  In addition, Carnell Murrell appears on the song “Holy.”  Expectancy was produced by Doreonne Stramler, CEO/President of Entheos Records, and is releasing to Christian and secular retail outlets nationwide on March 16, 2005 through a partnership with Entheos and CNI.

Entheos, a Detroit-based record label with a distinctive brand of soul, was founded by renowned Gospel producer Doreonne Stramler.  The debut releases, Ron Winans Family & Friends 5 and Expectancy from Jacky Clark Chisholm, hit stores nationwide in early 2005.
