Product Description

From 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

People

As adept at percussive vocal effects as they are at soaring quartet-style gospel harmonies.

This review is from: On The Good Ship Lollipop (Audio CD)

Not only do I own this wonderful CD, I've purchased it for family members and friends of all ages. The Persuasions give new life to old favorites. My "inner child" never tires of listening to these songs and my adult self enjoys the excellent a cappella collection! It would make a great gift for any family going on a car trip!

This review is from: On The Good Ship Lollipop (Audio CD)

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.

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. Read more
