Jerry Lawson was the lead singer of the a cappella group the Persuasions. For full obituary and coverage from Legacy.com, click here.
I just saw the documentary about Jerry on PBS last year. I am sorry to say I hadn't heard of him before. How is this possible? What a talent, what an amazing person! Julie, the love you had for each other was so obvious and so deep. I am so sorry for your loss. Full stop. What else can you say? I hope you get this message. All the best to you. Sincerely, Susan Davis.

Ì met Jerry lawson at Rockefellers nightclub in Houston Texas in the 1980's
The club doesn't exist anymore but the memories are eternal I got my mom and dad to take me to the show(I have cerebral palsy and don't drive) it was also the first time that my mom had been to a nightclub in 30 plus years but my parents enjoyed the show and every time that the Persuasions came to Houston my mom would say "I don't care what it costs- buy the table " and it became a family tradition at least...

You are the love of my life, my husband, and I am grateful for the time we shared. Your absence has changed me and I will never be the same. Thank you for opening up to me.

My Beloved husband... what a ride we shared. I still cannot believe you are not in the other room watching your favorite shows. I have not reached the point of feeling the joy of our life together. I cry a lot. And your leaving has changed me. There are no words to express the pain
