"Discovered" by Frank Zappa and his wife.
What started out humbly in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn is now a global phenomenon. The Persuasions have performed for fans in Alaska, Israel, throughout Europe, and down under in Australia. The Persuasions have appeared on stage, on record and on disc with such diverse artists as Stevie Wonder, Bette Midler, Joni Mitchell, Liza Minelli, Van Morrison, Lou Reed Gladys Knight, Patti LaBelle, Little Richard, Nancy Wilson, The Neville Brothers, Country Joe McDonald, B.B. King and Paul Simon.
The sounds of The Persuasions have been featured in films ranging from Joe Versus the Volcano to The Heartbreak Kid, from Streets of Gold to E.T.
The Persuasions are equally familiar with the small screen. The Persuasions documentary, "Spread the Word" has been broadcast on PBS. Spike Lee's "Do It A Cappella" presented The Persuasions as "the godfathers of a cappella" and has also been broadcast on PBS stations nationwide. The Persuasions also appeared on PBS, performing in the tribute, "Music of the Late Kurt Weill," singing "Oh, Heavenly Salvation."
The Persuasions have made musical guest appearances on television shows that seem to cover the entire day! The group has performed on Good Morning America, the Today Show, The Tonight Show, and Late Night with Conan O' Brien. Weekends were covered with appearances on Saturday Night Live!
The Persuasions started out as a bunch of kids hanging around singing Acapella. They have gone on to become the undisputed Kings of Acapella
