After more than three decades of spreading the gospel of A Cappella, The Persuasions recorded their first album for children. Though it’s aimed primarily at the little ones, say one- to five-year-olds, it’s hard not to enjoy it no matter your age. There are a host of treats, including “Teddy Bears’ Picnic,” “A Cappella Fellas” and the title track. The story that Jerry Lawson spins to frame “On Top of Spaghetti” is not to be missed.

The Persuasions have received a 1999 Parents Choice “Gold” Award for their children’s album, “On The Good Ship Lollipop.” Parents’ Choice is a nonprofit consumer guide to children’s books/videos/toys/software/television/magazines founded in 1978. Its honorary advisory board includes Julie Andrews, LeVar Burton, Barbara Bush, and Mister Rogers. The advisory board is made up of prominent educators, psychologists, children’s literature scholars, and writers.

“On The Good Ship Lollipop,” a diverse collection of everything from the Shirley Temple title tune to “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,” has also won the 1999 National Parenting Publications (NAPPA) “Gold” Award, recognizing “the best in quality children’s media,” and the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio “Gold Seal” Award for “outstanding new products that enhance the lives of children.”

The song they performed is titled “I’m So Glad I’ve Got Skin”. It became a big hit and is track #7 here on The Good Ship Lollipop which was recorded with The Persuasions 5 years earlier.
