LOS ANGELES: Lead singer of the eclectic cult-favorite a cappella group the Persuasions Jerry Lawson has died at the age of 75. He died at a Phoenix hospice after a long illness, Persuasions producer Rip Rense said.

Lawson’s smooth baritone led the group of five and later six singers, who were revered as the “The Kings of a Cappella” by their small but devoted fan base.

Through 25 albums the Persuasions recorded rock, blues, gospel and pop songs, all with no sound other than their own voices, long after the doo-wop era and long before the “Pitch Perfect” movies, when a cappella was rare.
