GRAMMY Award-winning producer, songwriter, and recording artist Donald Lawrence's new album Donald Lawrence Presents Power: A Tribute to Twinkie Clark arrives this Friday (Sept. 15). The album is dedicated to celebrating Twinkie Clark's early solo work.

Forty years ago, Twinkie Clark sold her publishing. The Clark Sisters were one-of-a-kind so this wasn't good for business. It was a split decision that affected not only her, but the livelihood of her sisters. She's since gotten her publishing back and this collaboration celebrates that. Donald Lawrence Presents Power: A Tribute to Twinkie Clark is a reimagined version of Twinkie Clark's early 1980s solo album called POWER - a collection of her songs that will sang by other artists. Donald calls it a tribute to her genius as the engine behind The Clark Sisters.

The album is now available for pre-order, and listeners who pre-save/pre-add will receive the new song "Fix Me Jesus" and "In Him There Is No Sorrow" to enjoy as instant grat tracks. While "In Him There Is No Sorrow" is a tribute to Twinkie Clark's songwriting and praising God's steadfast strength to carry you, "Fix Me Jesus" expresses a deep desire for spiritual healing and transformation.

The latest single from the new album is "Fix Me Jesus." Helming a powerful tribute to Twinkie Clark's original song, Lawrence presents a newly-recorded performance of "Fix Me Jesus," joining together with the incredible talents of GRAMMY-winner Sir The Baptist, and the ensemble Jason Max Ferdinand & The Jason Max Ferdinand Singers.

"Fix Me Jesus" offers a contemporary arrangement of Twinkie Clark's original track, with gospel maestro Donald Lawrence creating a mesmerizing call-and-response harmonic tapestry with the sounds of Sir The Baptist, Jason Max Ferdinand and his choral ensemble that drives the song's core message. The song takes listeners on a spiritual journey, with a declaration in calling out in faith and the power of God as a source to overcome obstacles, find strength and fulfillment.
