Hello Claude! You may not even see this, but my girl and I saw you live with Take 6 in Vancouver in April 2018... The show was amazing, I loved every moment of it. Thank you for your talents. Bless you brother.
I went to school with Some of Take 6... I heard them just before the became famous... I didn't know or I have forgotten that Chris and Brian were cousins. I was in Art Class With Chris Willis... It's been a long time... Brian played the piano form me when I was doing an accapella or accapello(sp) When he first got to Oakwood. He was so sweet to do that. That was 87 Wow... Now here it is 2011... I wish I could see me on video with Brian playing the Piano for me in those not so famous days.
brian mcknight is my inspiration if it was'nt for him i would'nt be where i am today in the the music business(his voice has no limit to its vocal range)
Claude in his prime was pretty sick, but these days he's def not as strong as he used to be. 3:13 he sings very a claude-like lick, lol. thanks for posting this is great! brian is amazing, one of the best singers today.
You may not know this, but back in the mid to late 80's and in the 90's, weird haircuts like this were the haircuts to have. Even though it's embarrassing to say so nowadays, I had one of these weird type of haircuts, too. Still, this was the fashion at the time:)
ok...I thought you were talking about singing this song (choice/style). Now that's right there are some issues in his singing but when you see him now wow ! He is one the best singer =D
@6stringmonster No !! Brian McKnight is Claude's younger brother (Claude is the founder of Take 6). And there is Chris Wilis (David Guetta's singer) who is McKnight's cousin ! =) I don't know the other singers but I don't think they're related to Take 6 or even Alliance.
Totally agree with you about the fact he's one of the best(male and female),but the younger brian is not better,it's just that with the age your voice begins to be tired,especially when you're a singer...
(cough) ...(reverent whisper)... Luther Vandross Brian himself will say that he walks in the great man's footsteps so don't let's over do the superlatives...and I love Brian McKnight too!
com on man.. #3, oj simpson? Rollin my ass off! HA ha ha ha haha. And as for the dome, watch some old school flicks, even the hardest of them all sported these, including me. Ever watch Colours?
He had a perfectly positioned voice back in the late 80's and a beautiful sound. Been on a concert recently - Claude doesn't sing so nice anymore 'cos he pushed his resonating point from the palatal to the mouth (prob. due to singing a lot of falsetto). Even the best singers need some correction every now and then.
Beautiful. A complete masterclass by this vocal ensemble. Lead singers McKnight and Willis were always very special
Brian Mcknight killin it, even back in the day. I like this a lot.
Ok..so there are some VERY funny comments to this video….especially the ones in regards to voice quality, etc…..lol (This is Claude btw) all good…..
Haha

Another example of what started in church and went elsewhere! I used to love this song! Go Chris Willis!!!

The man Chris is standing next to is Kem Britton and next to him is Ted Rivers. They married Chris and Brian's aunts.

They sound like Take 6 because 2 or 3 of those guys make up that group....this pre Take 6!
lmao! so awesome
He's so giant compared to the other singers on stage. In this clip, Brian kinda looks like Lebron James. Brian killed this!!!!!
(cough) ...(reverent whisper)...
Luther Vandross
Brian himself will say that he walks in the great man's footsteps so don't let's over do the superlatives...and I love Brian McKnight too!
This is old but 😂 he walks in Stevie's footsteps, not Luther.
