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

Entirely GOOD March 20, 2008
I checked this cd out from the library for my kids (6 1/2 & 3 1/2) and now I am going to purchase a copy for ourselves. Not only did they enjoy it, but I did as well. I initially checked it out for the Teddy Bear's Picnic song, but I was very happy to see that every single track on the record was excellent. Our favorite has become the song about their band and how they sing A-Cappella and their voices are their instruments. I can't say enough good things about this cd and these singers/songs. LOVE IT!
Children's music an adult can love April 4, 2007
This CD is a unique blend of child friendly content and adult friendly presentation. Filled with songs your kids will recognize and sing along to, but won't make you cringe if they insist on an endless repeat during your next road trip. No squeaky character voices, no product placement, no objectionable content, just straight forward all male acappella talent. It's so good you'll find yourself singing along to the CD and humming the tunes to yourself when your alone.

we love to wake up to this one. it has doowop/acapella versions of some classic children's songs.
a couple of the songs are kind of annoying after, say, the third go-around (shoo-fly, doggie in the window) but overall it's a fun collection.
I'm So Glad! January 4, 2006

"I'm So Glad" is one of many catchy tunes on The Goodship Lollipop. This tune is catching on around the country thanks to Noggin & Jack's Big Music Show. Jerry Lawson, former lead singer of the Persuasions debuts his new group "Jerry Lawson & Talk of The Town" on this wonderful new kid's show. You can learn more about this fabulous a cappella group at www.jerrylawson.biz -They've got lots more music geared for folks of all ages. Not to be missed!
Eureka! the coolest song in rotation on Noggin today (I'm So Glad) November 19, 2005

After much unsuccessful searching for anything by "Jerry Lawson & The Talk of the Town" as they're credited by Noggin (and Noggin's failure to respond to my emails) in order to find "I'm So Glad" -- a song my son ADORES -- I finally stumbled onto the Persuasions. I don't know if it's a different group of a capella singers accompanying Lawson from the singers in the Noggin video, but the song is the same and sounds terrific.
I'm so glad -- that the Noggin exposure led me to this whole CD and to discover this group -- I'll definitely be getting some of their other CDs as well!
