The Persuasions - Sincerely (1996)

For over 30 years, the Persuasions have been making a cappella records that are both hip and timeless. Not to be confused with its hybrid, doo-wop, a cappella is that smooth-as-a-cool-breeze harmonizing, sans instrumentation, that filled the night air like smoke rings under a streetlamp. When you hear the sweet tenor of Joe Russell, the harmony of Jayotis Washington combined with the potent lead of Jerry Lawson and thunderous bass of Jimmy Hayes you will hear and feel the true sound of a cappella. And they still ain't got no band!
