HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the 1969 film ALICE’S RESTAURANT, Adam Arkin, Ginger Baker, The Beatles 1967 “All You Need is Love” single, Coco Chanel, Bill Clinton, songwriter Roger Cook, the daguerreotype (1839), Darius Danesh, John Deacon, Dave Douglas (Reliant K), Eddie Durham, Philo Farnsworth, Rob Fenstermacher, Jonathan Frakes (great to have met you), Ian Gillan, Fumio Hayasaka, Susan Jacks, L.Q. Jones, Margie Joseph, The Knack’s 1979 “My Sharrona” single, Billy J. Kramer, Deana Martin (great to have gigged with you), Diana Muldaur, Luis Muñoz, Spud Murphy, one of my heroes Johnny Nash, Ogden Nash, National Aviation Day (1939), Debra Paget, the 1944 liberation of Paris, Christina Perri, Beat Raaflaub, Eddy Raven, Gene Roddenberry, John Stamos, Jason Starkey, my excellent boss Nate Stevens, Clay Walker, Lee Ann Womack, and singer-songwriter and gospel music provocateur Edwin Hawkins. He challenged prevailing notions about sacred vs. secular and broadened the field for gospel music, bridging it with funk, pop, rock, and soul. Despite challenges to his early career and ministry, he earned many awards and made many well-received records, yet still kept his eyes on God. He’s best known for his recording of “Oh Happy Day, “ an extension of an 18th century hymn. Edwin updated it in 1967 and his worship group played it repeatedly at the Ephesian Church of God in Christ in Berkeley CA. In 1969 Hawkins took the church group and made a small budget recording of it on a custom label, with Dorothy Combs Morrison on co-lead vocals. Their modest production is lo-fi by today’s standards but—lo and behold—the track became a surprise international hit, reaching #4 in the USA, #2 in the UK, Canada, and Ireland, and #1 in France, Germany, and The Netherlands. 

Edwin’s version won a Grammy in 1970, has appeared in upwards to 20 movie soundtracks ,and has been covered countless times. It was also included on the RIAA Songs of the Century. George Harrison stated the song was a primary inspiration for “My Sweet Lord.” Here’s our modest take on it, and HB EH—thank you for making a joyful noise.

GRAMMY-Winning Legend Donald Lawrence/Yolanda Adams/Twinkie Clark Release New Song & Video: In Him There Is No Sorrow!

      GRAMMY® Award-winning producer, songwriter, and recording artist Donald Lawrence has released a new single and music video, “In Him There Is No Sorrow,” honoring Twinkie Clark’s beloved song with a newly-recorded performance by Yolanda Adams. The chart-topping, legendary gospel maestro Lawrence has created this new single going out to gospel radio, teaming up with GRAMMY®-winning gospel legend Adams, in celebration of the artistry of pioneering GRAMMY®-winning gospel legend Twinkie Clark.

     “In Him There Is No Sorrow” marks the first single release from Donald Lawrence’s upcoming tribute album highlighting Twinkie Clark’s early solo work with reimagined covers of her songs, whose talents as part of her family’s best-selling historic gospel group The Clark Sisters - as well as her work as a solo artist - remain a trailblazing influence on gospel artists today. 

     In the newly-released single and video from Donald Lawrence & Co., Yolanda Adams sings a powerful, modernized version spotlighting Twinkie Clark’s incredible songwriting that’s made it a classic. Keeping the message of the original song, the “In Him There Is No Sorrow” remake is an emotional tribute praising faith and God’s abilities to provide strength and lift us up throughout our lives. The music video made its broadcast premiere on the BET Gospel and BET Her channels on March 31st. 

    In his prolific career as a producer, songwriter, recording artist, music director and choir master, Donald Lawrence has garnered multiple awards, including GRAMMY®, Stellar, and Dove Awards, with numerous Billboard #1 singles and albums and over 200 million career streams. An integral force in crafting the sounds of The Clark Sisters and their solo endeavors in the past few decades, Lawrence was the music director on the record-breaking acclaimed 2020 movie biopic “The Clark Sisters: First Ladies of Gospel,” which was a ratings smash hit for Lifetime and the producer of the movie’s accompanying soundtrack.

    He has collaborated with a diverse range of artists in gospel and R&B including Stephanie Mills, En Vogue, Mary J. Blige, BeBe Winans, Tasha Cobbs Leonard, Kirk Franklin and more, and been a leader in influencing the sound and visually-stunning performances of gospel choirs, performing with his groups The Tri-City Singers, and Company.

     Among Lawrence’s acclaimed gospel albums and hit songs include “Encourage Yourself,” “The Blessing of Abraham,” “Deliver Me (This Is My Exodus),” and “The Gift.” Besides the new single “In Him There Is No Sorrow,” Donald Lawrence is also presenting an international choir gathering with the Edwin Hawkins Music + Arts Global conference, celebrating and elevating the longstanding artform of choir music worldwide, with the conference taking place April 27-29th, 2023 in London, England.
