A cappella
- Doo-Wop

In March, 2000, The Persuasions released an all-Zappa album, Frankly A Cappella: The Persuasions Sing Zappa (Earthbeat!/Rhino) in tribute to the man who signed them to their first major album deal in 1968. The album was the brainchild of this writer (then helping to manage the group), a longtime fan, and friend of Zappa. "Frank gave us our start, and this is our way of saying ‘thanks,’" said Lawson. "And you can’t believe how great his music sounds a cappella!" Co-produced by Lawson, this writer, and Bay Area producer Gary Mankin, the album accrued unanimous endorsements, from People Magazine to Billboard, Daily Variety, The Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, CD Now!, and a myriad of publications. It also received the hard-won endorsement of Gail Zappa, the composer's widow, who graciously feted the group at her home.© 2009-11 Rip Rense/Rensart Productions
