It was worth tuning in to NBC's "Sing Off" tonight (Dec. 8) just to experience the performance of Jerry Lawson & The Talk of the Town. Their voices blend so exquisitely you never want the song to end. Thrilled that acapella singing is making some waves. Kudos to NBC for creating a space for these groups to showcase their skills. Jerry Lawson is the ultimate "COOL".
Mr. Lawson--You are the definition of "COOL'" and Talk of the Town--you are the ultimate "SMOOTH". Your performance tonight (Dec. 8) on Sing Off was so exquisite-I taped it and replayed it 15 times before the local news. FANTASTIC! Can't wait until next week to hear you again! Best Wishes!
Jerry Lawson is indeed one of the "masters of the game" when it comes to that Doo Wop(ooh wee) style of harmonizing,and a recognized pioneer when it comes to good ol soul music!I'm also a male vocalist,and please believe me when I tell you that Jerry is a "Legend"... JB.Jr.
Can't believe some don't use YouTube to learn this is a Curtis Mayfield tune written a year after the 1963 Civil Rights March on Washington. Listen to the original Impressions, Chambers Brothers, Al Green, or even Bob Marley's rework of the tune into "One Love".
Yall need to look up the Persuasions. Jerry Lawson's first acapella group. They do People get Ready on an lp called Street Corner Symphony and it is amazing.
Thanks so much for uploading this. I remember seeing it when it aired last year. Is this just "People Get Ready" or is it a medley with some other song?
I bought the DVD only because of this performance

As someone who watched Eric Burden do the original... I was impressed with your rendition. Eric had a way... you guys have a show!

@OhRick Great song ,,, tho it was written by Curtis Mayfield and first recorded by the Impressions.. tho I'm sure Eric Burden's version was good too.
