    This sounds better than ALL young people. Young singers need to learn from these grand old masters of dazzlin' harmony, doo wop, and soul!!!!!

    When this whole world starts getting me down, I go where up where the air is fresh and sweet up on the roof - Then I jump right off it.

    Kudos to Carole King and Gerry Goffin for writing this song.

    These guys are truly amazing. I loved them when I saw the Joni Mitchell concert back in 1980. They are awe-inspiring.

    Wonderful sound.I remember listening to their album "We Came To Play" back in the early '70s."It's You that I need" is just great."Up on the Roof" has been a favorite of mine since the early '60s when the Drifters did it.

    I also bought "We Came To PLay" many years ago and wore it out. The Persuasions just make me feel good. Sure there's ugly stuff in the world today. Always has been. You just have to choose.
