The Persuasions are an acappella group that formed in Brooklyn, New York in 1962.
In 1969, Frank Zappa heard The Persuasions singing live over the phone in a New Jersey record shop, picked his jaw up off the ground and promptly flew the group to Los Angeles to record their first album “A Cappella”. Thus began a 25-album recording career that focused on R&B, Soul, Pop, Rock ‘n’ Roll, but eventually included full album tributes to Frank Zappa, The Grateful Dead and The Beatles. The group even recorded a children’s album, “On The Good Ship Lollipop,” winner of many parents’ group awards. Through it all, The Persuasions’ sound was crowned by Jerry Lawson’s sweet and smoky lead baritone, (which began as a tenor), his effortlessly organic vocal arrangements, and his electrifying stage charisma. Critics often place Lawson’s inspired phrasing in a context with Sam Cooke, Brook Benton, and Otis Redding.
