Synopsis

Amazon.com

The good humor and musical depth of veteran a cappella outfit the Persuasions make On the Good Ship Lollipop an essential kids'-music release. By way of exquisite vocalizing and well-placed asides, the quintet breathes new life into chestnuts such as "How Much Is That Doggie in the Window?" and "Teddy Bears' Picnic" while introducing a new song (producer Leib Ostrow's "A Cappella Fellas") and shedding light on the lesser-known gems "My Daddy Do, Too" and "I'm So Glad (I've Got Skin)." Finally, they turn "On Top of Spaghetti" into a doo-wop ballad classic as indelible as "In the Still of the Nite." A perfect addition to the grownup-friendly Music for Little People catalog, which also includes albums by Ladysmith Black Mambazo and Los Lobos. --Rickey Wright

CD Reviews

Wonderful, soul-stirring harmonies

10/20/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I am a child care provider and have played The Persuasions' new cd for my kids. They just love it! In fact, even after music time is over, they want more and sing the songs when I'm trying to get them to quiet down. Believe me, it's not easy to keep young, active minds entertained for long. The best part? I like it, too. The harmonies are soul-stirring, like no other I've heard. Not an easy thing to pull off with adult or children's music."

"Jimmy Hayes, the bass singer of The Persuasions, is my father, it was wonderful to hear all of the songs he used to sing to me when I was younger. It was even better to be able to play them over and over again. It is a great album in general and I suggest everyone get it. Musically, the soulful sounds of the group is just as good as they were when the group used to serenade me as a little girl. The group definitely deserves all of the recognition that was given to this album and much, much, more. Love you, Daddy and I wish you much success"

I liked it so much, I bought the company

"I must admit, I don't really like children's music, so I was a bit skeptical when a friend of mine pulled out this CD. I was shocked when after only the first song I found myself not only tolerating the music, but really enjoying it. I later bought the CD for myself, and found that it only gets better each time I play it. This album is obviously great for kids, but I think that any adult who plays it will greatly enjoy it, too. Overall, it's a great album that transcends any sort of categorization."

"There's a lot of music out in the market labeled as children's music that's nothing but pure garbage (Radio Disney, and many of these "kiddie" albums come to mind). The best children's music is music that doesn't degrade children by talking down to them; is intelligent, fun, and humorous; and that adults usually enjoy more than the kids. With that sad, children's music doesn't get much better than ON THE GOOD SHIP LOLLIPOP by The Persuasions.The Persuasions are the granddaddies of a cappela music in America. They've been together as a group for decades and though they use no instruments other than their voices, their songs are more lively and entertaining than the majority of the techno-rap-funk garbage that plays on the radio. The group has been performing for children for years but this is their first children's album.The range of songs on the album is quite varied. From "Teddy Bears' Picic" to "On the Good Ship Lollipop" to a new take of "On Top of Spaghetti", the songs never stop to entertain and amaze. There really isn't another instrument on the Earth like the human voice."

A wonderfully wholesome collection that promotes creativity.

"The Persuasions' new album " On the Good Ship Lollipop" is such a wonderful collection of tunes that I just had to share my thoughts. The beauty of the album is that it not only entertains the children , but promotes an appreciation of the human voice that the typical children's album doesn't even approach. The excitemnt of singing along with " On top of Spaghetti" , "Big Rock Candy Mountain" and " Shoo Fly , Don't bother Me " thrills the kids so much more than the dozens of other CD's they have. The fun of singing without music in the background is such an exciting discovery for them. It's so exciting for me to hear them having so much fun with music. I would highly recommend this album to any parent who wants to inspire creativity in their children instead of the usual " Mind Numbing " effect of most children"s albums."
