R.I.P. Willie B. Holland of The Persuaders

Formed in 1969 in the Bronx, the Persuaders released a number of terrific cuts in the early 70s – songs that have continued to resonate more than four decades later and some of which have been remade as hits in multiple genres.

While the Persuaders never again had a large crossover hit, they recorded a number of additional Soul charters over the next three years, including the top 10 "Love Gonna Pack Up" and the excellent mid-tempo "Some Guys Have All The Luck" (later recorded by Rod Stewart and Robert Palmer).
The hits stopped coming by the mid-70s, and the group's major label recording career was soon over. The Persuaders experienced a series of line-up changes over the next several years before breaking up.
