BioThe Sweet Talks were a highly popular highlife band from Ghana in the 1970s, led by A.B. Crentsil. The members of the band were Tommy King, Nana Afful, Cropper, Arthur Kennedy, George Quansah, Eric Agyeman, JW Thorty, John Koko, Ekow Tuyee, Kelly Koomson, Tony Mensah, and AB Crentsil.
The group initially served as the official band of a Ghanaian glass factory, but later received sponsorship and a home at the Talk of the Town club.
Their first album, "Adam and Eve", achieved considerable success in the World Music scene, leading to a tour of the United States in 1975 and the recording of a follow-up album in 1978.
Despite their success, the group disbanded shortly after. A.B. Crentsil went on to form the Super Sweet Talks, which later became known as the Ahento Band.
The Sweet Talks remain an important part of Ghanaian highlife music history.
