(Phoenix, Arizona) Jerry Lawson interview with Drew Verbis:
Listen to Interviews: 2004 I 2005 I 2006 I Christmas Special
Jerry Lawson is arguably one of the most important figures in the genre of a’cappella (singing without the use of instrumental accompaniment). For more then 40 years, Lawson was the founder, lead singer, producer, and arranger for the Persuasion, the most famous a’cappella group to date, and the only performers of their genre to earn worldwide mainstream success. Jerry Lawson and the Persuasions have undoubtedly done more to popularize a’capella then anyone else before or since. Lawson launched a solo career in 2004, and has been experimenting with different arrangements with musicians in the Phoenix area, and has even taken on a project to perform with the Moscow Philharmonic. Following the hurricane Katrina disaster Rod Stewart performed with Lawson on a benefit that was nationally televised on most major television networks. In 2007 Lawson released a critically acclaimed a’cappella album with his new group Talk of the Town. The album was produced and arranged by Jerry and Julie Lawson and features guest artists.
