In the '70s, a cappella singing was a lost art; The Persuasions were determined to keep it alive. Personnel: Jimmy Hayes (bass vocals); Jayotis Washington (first tenor vocals); Jerry Lawson (lead vocals); Herbert Rhoad (baritone vocals) Jesse Russell (second tenor vocals).

This is not a cut-out or a record-club pressing. It is the original issue. Note: I haven't cleaned this 45-year-old vinyl record because everybody seems to prefer their own methods. I'll leave the cleaning up to the buyer. Also, I'm not a professional vinyl seller or buyer. This comes from my own collection. Bought at the Record Exchange, downtown Blacksburg VA. Enjoy the auction — and good luck!
