Solo career
Since leaving The Clark Sisters she has recorded several solo albums intermittently including Comin" Home, Masterpiece ( Produced by top gospel/jazz artist and musician, Ben Tankard. In 2002, she recorded her first live solo album Live in Charlotte. Twinkie"s son John Terrell raps on the album.
Its success warranted another live effort, the Asaph Ward-produced Home Once Again: Live in Detroit, two years later.
She also released a collaboration project with the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University Gospel Choir called Twinkie Clark-Terrell Presents the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University Gospel Choir which also was a mainstay in the Billboard Gospel top 10 in late 1996.
