Transforming songs by U2, the Beatles, and others into dynamic R&B a cappella, this quartet is “invincible, innovative, original, [and] beautiful.” (The L.A. Weekly)

• Hailed as one of the first a cappella groups, the Persuasions went from singing on the stoops of Brooklyn in 1961 to recording 18 albums and releasing tracks for feature films such as E.T (1982) and Joe Versus the Volcano (1990).
• Rolling Stone rated their 1977 album, Chirpin’, one of the hundred best works of the 1970s. Other notable albums include covers of a number of full-length albums by music greats such as the Grateful Dead, the Beatles, and U2.
