Very cool. Nice tight harmonies. It's good to see some "other" a cappella groups getting air time. Too often it's just Rockapella etc.

I agree with every word. Listen to more Zappa. His catalogue is massive, though.

To me, this is a rare treat, hearing this anywhere but my cd player.

Thought I was listening to Zappa.

Checked out the Now Playing and didn't know what it was.

Now to the comment page and it was Zappa after all ... sort of.
I don't care for this treatment of it.

You know, I just can't see Freddy-the-Beadle Barnes w/ the Persuasions. It just doesn't work for me. Maybe Jack Kirkpatrick shifting ponderously about the stage praising Aunt Jemima. Sure. But not Fred.

I'm a long time Zappa fan and I recognize the heritage. But this just plain sucks.

Zappa first discovered and recorded The Persuasions, and is responsible for launching them from an act in a little club where he overheard them to the roughly 45-year career they've had. They usually acknowledge their debt to Zappa when doing concerts. This song is from an album they did as a tribute after Zappa died, covering numerous Zappa songs. Most people listening to RP won't have any appreciation for Zappa, nor this song. They will be coming to music from a more-limited exposure. They will see it as the novelty it is when it is aired on a truly public forum. I just want to thank Bill for giving it a little air time. Next up, how about the original?
