I Just Want to Sing With My Friends from 1974 captures a fascinating moment in The Persuasions’ career. Prompted by their record label, the group experimented with a fuller rhythm section, joining forces with Stevie Wonder’s band. While it was a soulful record, the fans ultimately weren’t crazy about the change, leading The Persuasions to return to their fiercely beloved, strictly a cappella style.
