Album Review
Street Corner Symphony is an awesome a cappella release, a soaring assembly of songs that slide across the time-line, evoking the 1950s and the 1970s with equal ease, commercial R&B and the most devout gospel music, and even the commercial pop and singer/songwriter influences surrounding them ("Medley," which includes "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" and "You've Got a Friend"). Their "Tempts Jam" will dazzle any Motown devotee, freely mixing the group's songs in what is much more of a musical stew than a formal medley, and their version of "People Get Ready" is a fascinating "recomposition" of the Curtis Mayfield/Impressions classic. The only flaw is that it dates from 1991 — fairly early in Collectables Records' history — and is lacking in some of the presence that a modern digital transfer would have — this is one recording that is long overdue for an upgrade.
Customer Reviews
Best Persuasions Album...
This album has been hard to find for quite some time….until recently. Amazing harmonies and soulful singing. The song selections are top notch, featuring covers from the Temptations to old spirituals. This album just begs multiple listens, and the more you listen, the louder you'll be singing along. Accapella doesn't get much better than this. If you get any Persuasions album, make it this one. You won't be disappointed!
