The passing of Charlie Clark of Messiah Prophet...

I figured I would mention this since it was not posted previously. Charles (Charlie) Joseph Clark, 55, passed away after a long struggle with ALS on Saturday, January 6, 2018. The full obituary can be found here...http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/ldnews/obituary.aspx?page=lifestory&pid=187767335. He was the lead singer of Messiah prophet through the 80's. Here is a cool Messiah Prophet - Master Of The Metal lyric video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI2sGOmXgVE. Here is Charlie belting out a song Hit and Run: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGcyYHIfDxg. Other live songs can be found in this area of youtube. I discovered Messiah Prophet with the album Master of the Metal which I had on cassette. 


RIP Charlie....may you keep singing praises to our King with the Saints and angels. 

I'm stunned. I still have my original Master Of The Metal Lp. Will treasure it forever. R.I.P

He has his reward - Jesus! I'm so happy for him. I feel bad for his family, though.

That's a shame. So young. R.I.P.

Man, this getting older thing is rough, reading Obits too often of guys I grew up listening to. Be at peace Charlie.

Indeed.  I want to live past 100.

I still have both Rock the Flock and Master of the Metal tapes and play Master... regularly.

Prayers for the family.

That's amazing my friend Rob sent me this same link last night.   I already had it in my You Tube playlists but it was curious why he sent it when he did.

Even more interesting is the person that uploaded this to his YT channel had no comments for 4 months and now 10 comments in the past 12 hours. After I shared it here, I've noticed it spread around at 4-5 FB groups

Messiah Propeth !! 
One of those bands I need to find the records for my collection !!!

There was that one promo pic of the band in Metal Edge with Holy Soldier, Saint, Leviticus and Stryken back in 1987. I thought Charlie was taller with a bigger build years ago before I found live footage of the band and I based this on that pic in Metal Edge. After seeing this and other live footage he is smaller than what I thought with that big voice.
