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 Billmo Records.
2. The Clark Sisters also refers to a vocal quartet from the 1950s and 60s, also known as the Sentimentalists when they sang with Tommy Dorsey. They recorded an album entitled ":Beauty Shop Beat" in 1960, containing barbershop standards such as ":Waiting for the Robert E. Lee", "Coney Island Baby", and "That Old Gang of Mine".

The Clark Sisters's song Celebration is a joyous dedication to the birth of Jesus Christ. The lyrics encourage everyone to come together and celebrate the birth of the Messiah, who has come to save us all. The song begins with Twinkie inviting everyone to gather around for the celebration, highlighting the importance of the event. She talks about how we can recognize Jesus by seeing the glory of the Lord in His hands.
Dorinda's verse emphasizes the prophesied sign that the Lord would give the people, that a virgin would conceive and give birth to a son. The name Emmanuel, meaning God is with us, is introduced. The chorus emphasizes that you don't need an invitation to celebrate Christ's birth, as He has come to save us all. The song goes on to evoke the many names and titles given to Jesus Christ, such as the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the Prince of Peace, and the Alpha and Omega. Celebration is a reminder of the reason for the season, and an encouragement to give thanks for the birth of the Savior.
