The Clark Sisters were born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. They each began singing at an early age, and by the late 1960s they were all performing together in church services, usually singing songs written and arranged by their mother. A few years later, Dr. Mattie Moss Clark turned over control of the group to Twinkie, who would then go on to write, arrange, conduct, and produce all of the Clark Sisters' recordings. In 1973, the sisters recorded their first album, Jesus Has A Lot To Give, on their uncle's local label Billesse Records.  The following year, Dr. Mattie Moss Clark Presents The Clark Sisters was released and people around Detroit began to take notice of the group. The Clark Sisters signed to Sound of Gospel Records in 1974. Under this association, the group released albums such as Unworthy, Count It All Joy, and He Gave Me Nothing to Lose. It was not until the early 1980s that The Clark Sisters began to become more widely known. Their popularity soared with the release of the live recording Is My Living In Vain. The first live recording by The Clark Sisters spent an entire year at number one on Billboard's Gospel Music chart. Opening with the bluesy title track, each sister vocally declares that their dedication to Christ is not a useless effort. The innovative "Hi ya" was funky enough to find its way into a Tonex produced track over two decades later. Karen Clark's lead on "Speak Lord" expresses deep faith while the call to worship is raised on "Now Is The Time". Another hit from this release, "Expect Your Miracle", is still a staple in black churches across the country.  Their next release You Brought the Sunshine would prove to be a monster hit via the title track. Reminiscent of Stevie Wonder's "Master Blaster (Jammin')," the song became a hit in church houses and on dance floors, including New York's Studio 54. "Sunshine" was picked up from its original independent gospel record label Sounds of Gospel and distributed by both Westbound Records and Elektra Records. In 1983, the song peaked at #16 on the Black Singles chart, #27 on the Club Play Charts, and #80 on the Hot R&B Charts driving the album to Gold sales. This album continues to display Twinkie's signature blend of scripture with unprecedented vocal and musical arrangements on biblically based songs like "Psalms 31." The album's other songs include the sincere prayer found within the lyrics of both "Center of Thy Will" and "Endow Me," featuring a young but already vocally mature Karen, as well as "Overdose of the Holy Ghost", showcasing Dorinda's vocal dexterity. The disco-inspired "He Keeps Me Company" is noted for its bubbly syncopation.  The sisters delivered another progressive effort in 1982, Sincerely, which included "Name It And Claim It" and the politically charged "World." Though its success was overshadowed by the previous hit "You Brought The Sunshine", the album received a Grammy nomination. CANNOTANSWER

Paret Clark Sister föddes och växte upp i Detroit, Michigan. De började var och en sjunga i tidig ålder, och i slutet av 1960-talet uppträdde de alla tillsammans i gudstjänster i kyrkan, oftast sjöng de sånger skrivna och arrangerade av sin mor. Några år senare överlät doktor Mattie Moss Clark kontrollen över gruppen till Twinkie, som sedan skulle gå vidare med att skriva, arrangera, dirigera och producera alla Clark Sisters' inspelningar. 1973 spelade systrarna in sitt första album, Jesus Has A Lot To Give, på sin farbrors lokala bolag Billesse Records. Året därpå släpptes Dr Mattie Moss Clark Presents The Clark Sisters och folk runt Detroit började ta notis om gruppen. The Clark Sisters skrev på för Sound of Gospel Records 1974. Under denna förening släppte gruppen album som Unworthy, Count It All Joy, och He Gav Me Nothing to Lose. Det var inte förrän i början av 1980-talet som The Clark Sisters började bli mer allmänt kända. Deras popularitet svävade i och med utgivningen av liveinspelningen Is My Living In Vain. Den första liveinspelningen av The Clark Sisters tillbringade ett helt år på nummer ett på Billboards Gospel Music chart. Varje syster som börjar med den bluesiga titelspåret förklarar högt att deras överlämnande åt Kristus inte är en onyttig ansträngning. Den innovativa "Hi ya" var funky nog att hitta sin väg in i en Tonex producerad spår över två decennier senare. Karen Clarks ledning på "Tale Lord" uttrycker djup tro medan kallelsen att dyrka höjs på "Now Is The Time". En annan hit från denna utgåva, "Expect Your Miracle", är fortfarande en stapelvara i svarta kyrkor över hela landet. Deras nästa release You Brought the Sunshine skulle visa sig vara en monsterhit via titelspåret. Reminiscent of Stevie Wonder's "Master Blaster (Jammin')," blev låten en hit i kyrkhus och på dansgolv, bland annat i New Yorks Studio 54. "Sunshine" hämtades från sitt ursprungliga oberoende gospel-skivbolag Sounds of Gospel och distribuerades av både Westbound Records och Elektra Records. 1983 nådde låten toppen på #16 på Black Singles-diagrammet, #27 på Club Play Charts, och #80 på Hot R&B Charts som drev albumet till Guldförsäljning. Detta album fortsätter att visa Twinkies signaturblandning av skrift med aldrig tidigare skådade sång- och musikarrangemang på bibliskt baserade låtar som "Psalms 31." Bland albumets övriga låtar märks den uppriktiga bön som finns i texterna till både "Center of Thy Will" och "Endow Me", med en ung men redan röstmässigt mogen Karen, samt "Overdose of the Holy Ghost", som visar Dorindas sångs fingerfärdighet. Den discoinspirerade "He Keeps Me Company" är uppmärksammad för sin bubbliga synkopering. Systrarna levererade 1982 ytterligare en progressiv insats, Uppriktigt, som inkluderade "Namnet It And Claim It" och den politiskt laddade "Världen." Även om dess framgång överskuggades av den tidigare hiten "You Brought The Sunshine", fick albumet en Grammy-nominering.
