The well-known Clark Sisters – Jacky, Twinkie, Dorinda and Karen – are widely known for their inimitable vocal signature "Clark Sisters Sound.” They have been one of the top Gospel groups in the United States for years. The sisters have continued to expand the legacy begun by their mother, Dr. Mattie Moss Clark. The immensely talented Detroit natives fashioned a successful livelihood with eight highly successful albums, including 1979's He Gave Me Nothing To Lose, 1980's Is My Living In Vain, 1981's You Brought The Sunshine, 1982's Sincerely, 1986's Heart and Soul, 1988's Conqueror 1989's Bringing It Back Home, and 1994's Miracle. In 1981, the sisters posted a Billboard chart topping hit on the Dance charts, You Brought The Sunshine that garnered a gold album and established the singers as a nationwide pop culture phenomenon.

After moving on to equally successful careers and countless achievements, The Clark Sisters return as pre-distinguished figures in Gospel music. They reunited last year at Houston's George Brown Convention Center. A CD of that show, also called LIVE – ONE LAST TIME, will be in stores everywhere on April 10. Produced by visionary Donald Lawrence, the LP will be the first new project from the illustrious group in over a decade.
