Dedicated champions of a cappella singing during an era when few others picked up the reins, The Persuasions steadfastly refused convenient classification as they embraced stardom - without using a single musical instrument
On The Persuasions Sing The Beatles , lead singer Jerry Lawson vigorously resisted any attempt to pigeonhole his group as a throwback doo- wop outfit, though they originally started harmonizing under Brooklyn street corner lampposts. Following three seminal 1971-72 Capitol albums (We Came to Play, Street Corner Symphony, Spread the Word), the classic lineup featuring Jimmy "Mr. Bass Man" Hayes, Jayotis Washington , "Sweet Joe" Russell , and Herbert "Toubo" Rhoad expanded their repertoire into uncharted territory, recording everything from children's projects to full tribute sets honoring Frank Zappa and the Grateful Dead. An album-length homage to the Fab Four was a natural progression for the group's soul-soaked harmonies. Recorded between April 30 and May 2, 2001, inside St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Manhattan, producer David Chesky chose the pristine house of worship over a conventional studio to capture maximum organic warmth, depth, and spatial resonance. Down to a core quartet, the group brilliantly reimagined 14 Beatles classics - including "Eight Days a Week," "Come Together," "Oh! Darling," and "Yesterday" - positioning their voices in a semi-circle around a single microphone to wring every drop of emotion and soul from the singular songbook.

The Persuasions Sing The Beatles is reissued on 180g 'One-step Pressing' vinyl LP and stereo Hybrid SACD, with new liner notes as part of the Chesky Original Masters series.
