I’m incredibly excited to be able to bring you a couple of tracks from former Persuasions lead man Jerry Lawson! He’s now working with a quartet called Talk of The Town, and they have a classic doo wop smoothness.
- Jerry Lawson & Talk of The Town – Islands In The Stream (Bee Gees/Kenny Rogers/Dolly Parton)
- T Minus 5 – Low Rider (War)
- Down 4 The Count – No More Blues (Carlos Antonio Jobim)
- Great Big Sea -The River Driver (Traditional)
- Copley Cats – Time and Tide (Basia)
- Jerry Lawson & Talk of The Town – Persuasions Melody
T Minus 5 is helping to put on A Cappellastock! It’s Aug. 25th, in Ogden City Utah, and will be hosted by Barry Carl of Rockapella fame, and will feature Navi Redd, Toxic Audio, and more. This is an absolute powerhouse lineup, and if you can make it, you really should.
And as a reminder to listeners, I’m holding a drawing on episode #35 to give away a copy of Fitchy & Grikko, by The House Jacks. If you are a new listener, tell me who referred you, and I’ll put both of you into the drawing. Enough of the words, let’s get on with the show!

Thanks for this episode. I ‘recently’ (about a year ago) discovered contemporary (high school / college) a capella .. but have been a fan of The Persuasions for years and years.
I had no idea that Jerry Lawson had left the group.
Shortly after listening to this episode I ordered (and received) the new Jerry Lawson / Talk of the Town CD and it’s great.
Thanks again, and keep up the good work.
