Jenkins demurred, hopeful and confident in his group\u00eds chances at making it on its own, and Let\u2019s Talk is the sublime result of their hard work. Independently released and recorded with a distinctly lo-fi charm, it is a collection of unabashedly sincere songs that perfectly encapsulates the era\u2019s heady milieu of Black pride and cultural awareness, and the plaintive emotion of struggling to realize dreams whilst navigating a city and neighborhood in decline. Personal tragedy coupled with Jenkins\u2019 inability to gain traction as a musician, would haunt him for years. But Let\u2018s Talk\u2019s reputation would eventually spread via word-of-mouth praise amongst soul and funk connoisseurs and record collectors. Now elevated to exalted status, it may finally be more widely appreciated as a testament to Jenkins\u2019 gifts. The main album is augmented by two songs by Ray Alexander Technique with Chris Bartley, not available on the original album."}
