Faith Is The Key (Vinyl LP)

Info All orders include instant digital download. Founded by vocalist and ordained bishop Larry H. Jordan and his brother-in-law Frank Tinsley in the early 1980s, Enlightment was among the first groups to fuse modern R&B production with gospel themes. After Jordan and Tinsley recruited legendary Washington DC keyboardist Al Johnson and gifted singers Sheila Stubblefield, Rhonda Lathon Homles, and Marilyn Monroe, the group started getting airplay across the country, bringing some welcome R&B/funk flavor to the gospel. Unfortunately, the independent release of their 1984 debut album Faith Is The Key was torpedoed when both their distributor and pressing plant went out of business. Only a handful of LPs ever made it into the public's hands, and by 2000 it had become a holy grail for collectors across the globe who recognized the record's undeniable quality. After more than three decades as a lost classic, the album finally reemerged with a remastered 2017 Nature Sounds reissue. With that pressing long sold out, Faith Is The Key is now back on vinyl.
