Acappella
The Persuasions
Released:
Jan 1970
Label:
BizarrePlanet Entertainment
On their 1970 debut, the Persuasions already sounded dated. Their a cappella style borrowed heavily from doo wop traditions and there's a hint of '60s soul in there as well. But the great thing about the Persuasions isn't their voices -- though those are certainly deft -- but rather the audience noise and street-corner atmospherics that seep into their recordings, giving them a found sound intimacy. This disk is especially notable for their cover of the Temptation's classic "Don't Look Back."
