Take 6 is the best acapella group of all time, there is no debate. Actually heard of Brian McKnight before them, when I bought Brian McKnight's first album and I saw who's helping with background vocals on songs like, My Prayer, Is the feeling going etc. Always wondered who Claude was. Then I got into Take 6 and my mind was completely blown 😮

OMG! What a blast from the past! I used to know several of the group members back in the day. We were all a part of the Seventh Day Adventist church! PineForge, Oakwood, etc! Thanks for this interview. I haven't thought about Take6 in so long. They were all great people. Brian could not have been in the group! He was so incredibly arrogant back then! His brother would never say that, so I'll say it. Also, he got caught with his then girlfriend/later wife when he was at Oakwood and, being that it was a "Christian" school, they kicked him out! LOL! That's a little known, fun fact. Anyway, Brian went on to marry her & then she divorced him after two decades of marriage! He cheated on her! Anyway, Brian always thought very highly of himself and he wasn't the type of person to want to share the spotlight. So that's the real reason why he wasn't a part of Take6. The guys would have needed an extra traveling van just to carry around Brian's ego! Sorry to say that, but it is 100% true!

One of my group members met Brian years ago and said he was the most arrogant ass. I was very disappointed to hear that.

I've also heard that about him. I think he's an incredible vocalist but I never cared for the guy outside of him singing. You get a sense of his arrogance from some of his interviews.

@@RTDavis0503 yep. Brian is an amazing artist and is responsible for the sound of alot of singing artists in the late 90s and early 2000s, but I think there are very few if any pop/R'n'B tenor artists alive that can even come close to singing at Mark Kibble's level - and back in the 90s, only Mervyn Warren was anywhere near close to his vocal abilities. In the 'Live In Japan' album, on the all blues song, Mark improvised a rift/run that is near impossible to replicate even after practising. Doing that spontaenously is not realistic. Incredible vocalist! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aa-qmNt9nZPQnGQ.html

@@R-and-Bj yep. When the Jackson 5 looked to leave Motown, legalities got in the way. IIRC, they went to court because Berry Gordy didn’t want to let them leave. Ultimately they did, but couldn’t use the name. Also, Jermaine elected to stay in Motown (He was married to Gordy’s daughter Hazel). As a result, they rebranded as the Jacksons on Epic Records and Randy joined the group. I may have some of it wrong so I welcome corrections from anyone watching
