Donald Lawrence Presents ‘Power’: A Tribute to Twinkie Clark includes features from gospel greats like Yolanda Adams, Kierra Sheard Kelly, PJ Morton, and more.
Donald says that, “Rather than just doing her catalogue over—because that has been done— I want to take one record that…to me…was her most creative body of work and reimagine it,” he continues, “Sometimes I just want to do things that I feel like is artistic and gets me back to the art and the love of why I do music anyway.”
