An article from the entertainment site The Cheat Sheet recounting how Studio 54's owners offered the Clark Sisters top dollar to perform "You Brought the Sunshine" at the nightclub, quoting one owner telling the family's booking agent, "Ma'am, we will pay you whatever you want, we will give you top dollar if you just please come to the studio," and quoting the sisters' mother, Dr. Mattie Moss Clark, refusing on the group's behalf in her own words: "Now I ain't going to have my girls in no studio with y'all dancing."
