Bob Dylan once told Bono that U2’s songs would last forever—but no one would be able to play them. The Persuasions, being an a cappella band, have found the loophole in this prediction…or curse. Fun trivia fact: Now in their fourth decade of recording soul, gospel, blues, R&B, and everything that strikes their fancy, the “godfathers of a cappella” got their start in the record business thanks to Frank Zappa. They paid tribute to him on 2000’s Frankly a Cappella, which was so well received they’ve been releasing single-artist tributes ever since, including one honoring the Grateful Dead called Might As Well. The Persuasions Sing U2 lacks these disks’ catchy titles but the band has kept the magic—at least as well as anyone could after the departure of founding member Jimmy Lawson.
