Gospel and country singer. Jenkins was also a preacher and songwriter. Of his in excess of 800 compositions, two-thirds are sacred songs. Medical malpractice occurring in his infancy left Jenkins with severely limited vision, and later in life, an accident left him totally blind.
Jenkins' second wife (his first spouse died) came to him with three musical children, and the family formed a singing gospel group. The family became regular performers on Atlanta's WSB, commencing in 1922 or 1923.
