Take 6 is still awesome! Praise God! Who’s still listening in 2023?
MERVYN FRICKEN WARREN...You aint had to DO THIS SONG LIKE THAT!!! If not one of the best leads the had from the beginning!
Mervyn was a vocal monster I liked him better with the group
I thought the guy in yellow was Brian McKnight....I keep forgetting his brother Claude is in this group. They look so much alike.....and I had no idea until now that it was Claude that hit that amazing high note!!!
Go 'head, Merv. You were sangin' like you ain't had a care in the world. I just love an effortless singer. All of y'all can sang.
THEIR WONT BE ANOTHER ACCAPELLA GROUP LIKE THIS...TAKE 6 TAKES IT ALL EVERY TIME..
"Love is not evil"
Man, grew up listening to this bad boy. Mems a flooding.
Hallelujah! Yah gave them a big ole dose of talent! Ya'll betta SANG ! Praise His Holy Name! Holy is Yahushua
I'm only 26 now but I've loved this group since 1990! Freakin amazing and they to me have become the staple for acapella at its true finest!
Serious chord changes....incredible harmony and of course the lead vocalist, on this tune! wow
Wasn't a fan of the drum track when this came out..But the Mervyn part..DARN!! The brother can sang!!
The drum track was actually them beat boxing pre recorded
I love the CD version and this live version is great as well. Sing it Merv!
That dude was unreal. Singing and arranging the harmonies, and writing the lyrics. Genius!
I wonder why he left?
@@RoninAli1 Went to be a producer in 1991. Take 6 was always on the road and it never gave him the flexibility do do what he really wanted, so out of respect, he had to step down. That ended up leaving the door open for either Brian McKnight (Claude's brother) to join ( they considered others as well to be that 6th member) or Joel Kibble (Mark's younger brother) who had a sextet at Oakwood and was blowing notes as well. Joel ended up getting in the group after his father ask on of his teachers why should he join after being asked the 2nd time. His teacher said, it would teach Joel things he wouldn't learn in school, and Joel stated that the group saw something he can attribute to the team and that's what they needed. Joel has tried to be like Merv and he says that was nothing but continual stress lol.
I miss this time, when artists were recognized on pure talent and not ridiculous publicity stunts. Seems like anybody can be an "artist" these days.
Oh yes, Mervyn is KILLING IT!!!!!!!!
Mervyn Warren is the man! Group hasnt been the same since he left. The arrangements arent the same as it was when he was doing it. Still like these guys but not as much as when Mervyn was there! Best concert ever is Take 6 with Mervyn. Ever!
I woke up this morning and this song was in my spirit! God loves me, BOOM!
THIS IS THE SONG...OMG!!! I USE TO LISTEN TO THIS TAPE OVER N OVER N OVER N OVER. IT STILL SOUNDS THE SAME AFTER 20+ YEARS.....DAAAAAAANG GOOD MEMORIES!
these brothas tore that song up!!!! best version and best job by lead vocalist !!! such confidence, composer true Master craftsmen love it!! I bet the audience just sat there mesmerized !! you know they ain't no body do dat before lol
I love the group, but Mervyn Warren is FIYAH!!
My boy, C.
I'm more than *A* ble,
like a *B* eacon in the night<
to *"C"* that you don't ever lose your way.
'Cause your *D* efense is defective, *E* ven at it's best, but my e *F* forts will never fail.. because (g-h) *I* (j-k) *L-O-V-E U*
You’ve just blown my mind 😳
boyz 2 men was inspired by this group. thanks Mike biv
One of MY all time faves! And yes, still have the cassette! Can you beleive it? No instruments required!
I LOVE Take 6 my dad has been playin their music all the time in the car
I love this song when i was a child!!!!! :) Thx for this movie!!!!
mervyn is multi talented
Mervynnnnnnnnnnn
This right here takes me back to them days when they were on the radio, they were big at the time. Loved this song, and I loved the way they sang it. Their harmonies were out of sight, and the arrangement was incredible! Like I said, loved this song:)
I have always loved Take 6, and this is by far one of their greatest works!!! How many groups can sound this good live? Very, very few. Surprising that Jay Leno actually used to have some hip music guests.
I've missed this fantastic a cappella piece for a while, now. So many memories, and it's one of the various reasons I adored the 1990s. Thank you for this post.
When I was at Oakland U. I recall going to Vandenburg Hall and just like Take Six we would jam without instruments...I wish them Peace!
Very good performance, blessed voices
HE KILLED IT!!
I love this song
Stellar stuff by ALL the guys!
MERV!!! They never been the same without him.
i love love love this song!!!
Better than the CD omg thank you
Gotta love take 6 !
When Mervyn Left Take 6,I believe that he was the most "competition"for Mark Kibble Vocally. Joey had improved and matured greatly but as much as a T6 fan that I am that I can say that Take 6 adopted a"Mark Kibble" Sound with MK doing much Vocal acrobatics during concerts and stuff. I think that MW was that perfect Balance, resonance and Timbre that that T6 "Magic" was made up of. While T6 with Joey is still Awesome and best out there,The "SOUND" of TAKE 6 changed(For all those whoknowT6 well)
Did you know Joey Kibble is married to Karima from the gospel group Virtue?
I also think he may have been competition
@@sweetsweet81 they're divorced they've been divorced for many years now. He's married a new woman of Indian descent
@@RTDavis0503 say what now???
Which one is mervyn?
The one singing the lead@@altheaseaborn1081
i play this for you uncle Rusell (his favorite song in the early 90's) RIP!!
2:21-2:41, that is my favorite part of the video. But still, this was an awesome performance!
I-L-O-V-E-U TAKE 6!
Still a favorite of mine!!
ur right about the quality AND the lead :) and by the way thank u for posting Get Away Jordan. ive had that on repeat for weeks! ;)
x
been looking for this song forever.. I remember hearing this as a kid in a B.E.T. promo and it stuck with me ever since that day. Thank you for posting this.
Their Christmas CD hit #1 of the iTunes Jazz chart! Congrats!
They just performed at the Chicago Gospel Festival 2012 on Sunday 24th. I was very disappointed though that they were only scheduled to perform for 25 minutes. And I missed 10 minutes of that. But I'll cherish those few minutes I heard them perform. Extremely talented men!
UptownGirl27 so whose L8 ass fault is that they were serving wsffles U wouldnt've missed those! By a MINIT! FACTS!
i actually remember seeing that broadcast. hard to believe it was over 20 years ago.
Way mo jazz than commision and amazing acapella Take 6 is the best!!
😳😳😳😳🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Amazing!!... The beatbox Is on fire
1 dislike?! How could they be so cruel?!
IIIIIII LUV U!
Just released an album in 2012 titled "One" and touring all over Europe and Asia. :-)
Jammmm!
great!
does anyone know how they make that tambourine-ish sound?!?! this song is entirely in acapella :O
LETRA
L-o-v-e U
Take 6
U thought it would be easy
Something like a shopping spree
But living life n limbo
Created your catastrophe
Now u say you're sorry -
and that's good
But it's not over yet
But if u want me to forgive u
I'll b willing to forget it ever happened
Erase it from my mind
I gave my life to save u
That's the plan that I designed, because
Chorus:
I L-O-V-E U
I L-O-V-E U
Put your trust in me
'Cause I L-O-V-E Y-O-U
Lately you've been thinkin'
That you're the captain of the c
But when your ship was sinkin'
Your transportation back was me
(Do you remember?)
Now u have concluded
That u need someone to navigate
Which leads me to the question
"When can we affiliate?"
I know survival
Is not an easy task
I've always been the answer
But I thought you'd never ask, u c
Chorus (twice)
I'm more than a-ble
like a b-con n the night
To c that you don't
ever lose
your way
Because your d-fense is
defective
e-ven at its best
But my f-forts will never
fail because
(G)
(H)
I
(J)
(K)
L-O-V-E U
I L-O-V-E U
Put your trust in me
'Cause I L-O-V-E Y-O-U
Amazing! Do you have any more vids from the 'so much to say' album when merv was still around?
que bestial
I will admit that when he left the group the sound definitely changed and slightly missed something, althought they still remained superb. He was really good and I miss his energy in the group. Where is he? Why he leave the group?
I had their cd's after I saw them live at Youth '91 convention in Missouri. Loved their music. Was Brian McKnight part of this group?
No that's his older brother Claude McKnight
Mervyn Was The Truth When He & Cedric Left their sound changed Nothing against Joey & Khristian something left the group when the other two guys left
I like Take 6 better when Mervyn Warren was in the group. Fight me!
When did he leave?
Wht's so sad is that they are THE most talented vocal group EVER,but don't get the exposure, which would be great and give th new school reason to respect the rawness thy put out there, which is how it used to be done and still can be, but most solo artists can't harmonize like that...they can sing their asses off, but lack the vocal science of it all.
@ Jibcraip: So how do you feel about Ceddy stepping down? Personally, I'm sad to see him go, but I think Dentley is the perfect replacement. I'm just glass CD will still be doing stuff in the background, so we'll still be able to hear his touch on things.
@NuUTubeBabe IT IS...They sampled some sounds but all you hear is from voice/mouth/body ! =)
@musiclover77able all day everyday...
I'm guessing that two out of every three people who hear this don't even realize they're singing about Jesus.
OK. I have listened to this song at LEAST 10 times or more and I KNOW folks are going to shoot me for putting this out there but I have to ask. Can we say that Mervyn was a more colorful vocalist than any of the members? Maybe a better vocalist period??
Not better than Mark
@jibcraip rlly??? awesome
@Ree4Quee ...because the record label owns the copyright of the sound recording, not the composition. So as long as its a different performance than the one thats on the record its ok, although the publishing company that owns the composition could probably make a stink as well, but usually they dont bother. Some music business 101 for ya :P
is there a take 7?
:D
I-LOVE-U 0:59 BANK!
MAKE-ME-A-SAMMICH 1:54 bop! BANK!
I-NEED-2-BORROW-UR-CAR 3:46 BANK!
TIME-4-U-2-GTFO! XD
@gumgirl1: Actually it's not.
@maggee45 They just have a new Christmas CD which is #2 on iTunes Jazz selection =) =)
I heard Mark being Pitchy once or twice ! Check out "Brazilian Rhymes" from 2002 NorthSea Jazz Fest, posted by user YvonneZ
???????????????????????????????
I love Take 6, but the last 10 seconds kinda felt like a Rick Roll when Jay Leno walked out, which is probably why there are dislikes on this video.

I really really beg to differ.. Joey Kibble evened them out.. When Merv was there, they were a bit heavy on the high end.. Plus, Joey's voice is stronger than Merv's, which brings out a purer sound..
EXACTLY what I thought. Take 6 have been BETTER than ever with their new additions over the years. A bit too much fire power on the high end and grit especially in live performances back in the day on occasion. Joey evened it out nicely. Khristian also brings his own unique flair. What makes Take 6 a great group is the GROUP effort and the arrangement! Its not because of just one person's singing abilities.
Merv has a stronger voice than Joey . I will say his more spiritual though .
they were great, but COMMISSIONED WAS BETTER. Take 6 was good though. I couldn't really understand how they would beat them in some gospel categories on award shows.
Well, with T6, you have a group that mixed Gospel, R&B, Jazz, Big band swing, Classical, and Hip Hop which make them very unique. Commissioned, while very talented, were always in the Winans shadow. Hard to beat Marvin (winans) and his great singing and writing.
The fact you said his voice is stronger than Merv's shows you have ZERO clue about music or vocal tone. It's one thing to just be a fan of Mr. Kibble but please spare me with the foolishness. He isn't even CLOSE to the vocal range of Mervyn Warren. Not even CLOSE. Not sure what your ears hear, but they aren't hearing enough. Go back and listen to Take 6 very first album, then come back and listen to Joey's attempts at replacing Merv on those songs. It's a body bag in favor of Merv. Peace!
Dude you are so wrong it's hilarious. The only range Mervyn can beat Mark in is Falsetto. That's all I'm going to give you. Mark destroys him everywhere else. Gut range is not even a comparison. Mark and holler and he can sing straight. His riffs are more crisp and clean. He's far more soulful. And I love Mervyn. And I'm friends with some of the guys in Take 6. Mark kibble is The Man He's been the man for years. I've seen them in concert many many times. As a matter of fact my group performed on the same stage they did the night before they came. When Mervyn was in the group, nobody's live vocals compared to Mark. Nobody's. And I'm qualified to say this.
@@RTDavis0503 It's not up for debate. You clearly don't follow this group. Or seen them Live. Some people just love to argue out of ignorance.
Mark has a stronger and more dynamic voice .
Merv had a smother voice and wider range.
So does Dave , don’t sleep on him . He has very smooth and had crazy range .
He and Merv usually did the highest part of gateway Jordan .
click "like"??? I liked this group back in the day but I feel Commissioned is THE BEST. sorry.
I was deeply in love with Carmelita Fleming back in the day..
