Tedster Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 I watched the "Motown Christmas" thing on USA last night. Take 6 came out and killed me. I mean, I'm a huge fan of vocal harmony, I love Boyz II Men, All For One, even some of the stuff I've heard by some of the "boy bands"... But Take 6, they seem to take it to another level altogether...a "not of this Earth" kinda thing. Phenomenal stuff. Just had to reflect upon that. I would have to say that they're arguably the best at what they do. "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jotown Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Take 6 are still the cutting edge of vocal harmony. One of the reasons they are so tight is that they are all musicians. Those are arrangments they are singing. No doubt they are the shit. I heard a group recently on the PBS Gershwin tribute called "Manahatan Voices" that were also very good. But Take 6, Yeah Buddy.

Oiled Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Take 6 was great, and I was impressed with Bryan McKnight. I didn't know he could play piano. Stevie wonder had his shit together too. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Botch. Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 I first heard Take 6 on a grammies-type show many years ago. They came on the stage [i]after[/i] the Manhattan Transfer, I felt sorry for them...but only for 20 seconds or so. Picked my jaw up off the floor and bought their CD the next day. :thu: Botch "Eccentric language often is symptomatic of peculiar thinking" - George Will www.puddlestone.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it, too!!! :) ...But, what I did NOT know, is that Take 6 are so talented, for I have not heard them. I'll keep an open ear for them now.
