[anticons06]

yaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhoooooooo­ooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

[iamtroyjones]

Man Claude and Mike sings hot on this. and the rest of take 6 on the background gives it that finishing touch

[dtrain4569]

If I was blind I would swear it was a black guy singing with 6 white guys!

[keefee79]

Any person that calls themselves a musician or a vocalist should really listen and pay attention to whats happening here. Just listening to these guys gave me some crazy ideas with voicing my chords. Thanx antcreations for posting this. Really appreciate it!!!

[mackitosh]

Esta si que suena bien.

Gracias otra vez.

[lsbrgss]

I remember my mother had one of Michael's albums and I thought he was James Ingram. He had so much soul its not even funny!!

[1jannurse]

OUR MIKE!!  SING IT BABY

[JaissacJones123]

MM sung it so good, I forgot the original was sung by Smokey Robinson. Claude Mcknight had no business accompanying MM on the lead, one the other members should have done it instead.

[jarbon5]

This is so awesome, Michael McDonald and Take 6 doing this song!

[mpastras]

What can I say about MM that hasnt been said!!! Next to Don Henley & Paul Rogers the best...........

[PoetGerri]

What a great performance. Perfect blending of voices Michael's and Take6's voices. I LOVE acapella singing. It is so powerful to hear the human voice bare and unaccompanied by a musical instrument. Finding and seeing this video has made my day. :)

[soursourapples]

some wild take 6 harmonies there!

[morgan699]

Wow!!! Hmmmm, Can i disagree and give a C+ to this performance. I like TAKE 6 harmony-- PERFECT. I like Michael's voice is GREAT. Yet, somehow together, they just DON'T WORK. He seems more angry and shouting rather than smooth. Weird cover. Sounds more like a mash up. Am I the only one ?

[jarbon5]

Well, like they say, to eah their own, but I couldn't disagree with you more!

[morgan699]

Um, who exactly is "they" who say to "eah their own?"

[jarbon5]

That wise group of people that can't spell...

[Oghar999]

Yep Morgan, you're on your own :-) It's precisely the contrast you spot, that makes the cover SO great!

[anteupper]

Many thanks for posting something so beautiful..(I admit to chuckling about the oreo comment, though..)

[jarbon5]

I wish this was the version that Michael had this on his album, but hey, we can catch this here on YouTube:)

[1funkyangel]

they turned this song out!! not only that, they work well 2gether!!

[arimababy]

Beautiful harmony.. I LOVE Micheal McDonald and Take 6! Awesome performance! Loved this. Thanks for posting.

[luardesa]

Great!

[jarbon5]

This is the best cover performance of this song that I have seen. It gets no better than this:)

[Nubi1984]

Go 'head Michael!!!! Love Take 6!!!

Nubi

[elsuperjodedor]

Definitivamente impresionante. The best vocal group all time. Micahel McDonald you are amazyng

[AmphibiousButterfly]

hey look an oreo!

[jdigitalseven]

Another song falls victim to Michael McDonald

[fonzie1217]

click on, smokey robinson tribute artist, alphonse new lead singer of the miracles.

[jarbon5]

This song is mesmorizing! Just breathtaking:)

[Krazie316]

That sounds great!!

[HeadMinerve]

Nice performance.

[wherestoonces]

I wish I could un-hear this

[snowmanwilly]

Goodness gracious! Unbelievably good :D

[tuzwol]

It's no need to argue,these are both great groups,and no one can say who is better,it is just a matter of opinion,by I have both of their cd's so its all good,these groups got harmonies for days

[thebassbat]

wtf are u mad bono can't sing .i'am irish and i can't stand the wanker michael mcdonald id the man

[arcitup747]

McDonald embarrasses them. They should have sung with Bono instead.

[indign8ion]

Simply beautiful and absolutely amazing... No offense, but if you have ever been in love (for real) and this DOES NOT move you, back track your steps and find out where you lost your soul :). Thanks for posting this.

[sexycaine22]

this group is so handsome and talented

[Dmeat24]

Best group in the world! this was great!

[get111]

can i get a copy of this video

[pearlady22]

Awesome! I love Michael McDonald. I have never heard of Take 6. Great!

[dpunero]

are u kidding me ??.. thats the best vocal group on the earth.. if you dont believe me.. ask a musician or group you look up to.. and they will tell you.. !!

[dzemalimsirovic]

boyz II men are better. No doubt. No boy band (or band at all) can beat them. But they are good, and so are the legendary All-4-One !!!

[dpunero]

Thank God..it's your opinion.. !!

[CROWALERT]

you need to learn about vocal music, they are far away to be the best musically and numbers talk 4 grammys against 18 grammys given to take six music

[RTDavis0503]

Boyz II Men, although I love them, are no where near as cold as Take 6! Take 6 was Boyz II Men's mentors!! If you see BIIM interviews, they credit Take 6 for inpiring them. Take 6 came out in 1988 and are Gospel group. That is the only reason why they are not more famous. If you disagree, youtube search their other live performances on here. I suggest looking up the songs Spread Love and Mary for starters. You will be shocked. Not to mention Brian McKnights older bro started the group

[Gaubandit]

i heard the did a couple of rnb songs but couldnt make so therefore they turned to gospel however i still prefer boyz ll men

[RTDavis0503]

They never did R & B..They tried a couple R & B sounding gospel songs as did a lot of gospel artist. Their fan base did not like it so they returned to what made them famous. Their originality.

[Gaubandit]

ohh ok cool

[morenaso1]

lol, boyz ii men are great but they copied take six.

[Aandunno]

No they didnt..wtf?

[morenaso1]

lol, boyz II men learned alot from brian mcknight and his brothers group take6

[morenaso1]

Im a huge boyz II men fan and saw them say that in an interview

[tuzwol]

you're right,Boyz II Men even said they tried so hard to sound like Take 6,it's human nature to be influenced,immitation is the highest form of flattery

[morenaso1]

Well said

[Renagade70]

Wow! This is mind blowing. Micheal McDonald and Take 6. Very soulful.

[WillBill1814]

Does anybody have a Mp3 of this perfomance?

[dpunero]

That was awesome !! Much praise is not given to Alvin chea, the bass vocalist in take6. Much, if not all of the grooving and moving of everyone at the concert is because of him. Are you checking him out !..RESPECT ALIVIN CHEA..you did a wonderful job !!

[ismaelfieo]

Bem loko, fico d+, para os norte americanos se sentirem humanos pelo menos uma vez na vida.

[Landschootc]

I was sitting in the front row with the drummers daughter. I'll never forget how AWESOME this show was!!

[VeritasLA]

Gorgeosity!!!!!

[slingeries]

Claude is an excellent unique vocalist. Nasal? Never!

[Mahlercougar]

I may be stepping out on a limb here but after being a huge TAKE 6 fan since their inception in 87-88 to present, I have noticed that... and Its a theory.. but I think Claude has modeled his vocals, or has been influenced by Michael MacDonald. If you truly know Claudes Vocals, notice how in his solo songs with T6 how often he says "HEY". MM says that a lot in his vocals too.. But.. Its just a theory of mine :)

[RTDavis0503]

You are absolutely right, both he and his brother Brian were totally influenced by MM. Take 6 harmonies are very reminiscent of some MM harmonies. (ie, "What a Fool Believes"

[danceamerica]

does anyone know where to purchase a copy of this audio & video?

[SPLEEAH]

You can order the DVD from the station that put on the show, don't remeber it off hand but you can google it and find out. I think it was in Chicago...

[SPLEEAH]

The concert series this is part of is called Soundstage. It's McDonald's first Mowtown concert for Soundstage...

[dootsmasta]

Actually, it's not his first Motown Soundstage concert. He did a performance in 2003 and featured Ashford and Simpson as well as Pat Simmons and Tommy Johnston. FYI, if you do call to order a DVD from WTTW/Soundstage (1-800-237-1100), try to get somebody on the line to clarify that you want the second performance (with Toni Braxton) and not the earlier one.

[ThickieWonder]

soul is something that any demographic can experience, its an energy that you can tap into, and its clear that both michael mcdonald and take 6 are are tappin that ass!tight shiz!

[stempelsteinmetz]

Great great ! I didn`t know that they performed together !

Stempel

[pfrodigal]

thanks for uploading a clean version of this!!!

[phumlanimtiti]

we might be makin too much of this but its not about black or white you need to change your mentality

[azkari05]

NIIIICE job, Mr. McKnight... ;)

[mirageincos]

I'm a Take 6 fan thru and thru but I have to disagree with you. Claude sounds real covered and nasal to me and he don't sound that great to me. Can't hear the words he's singing.

[azkari05]

Replace your soundcard.

[maorisyde]

Champloo52... U never knew Michael McDonald was White? Do you know what other songs he's done?

[Champloo52]

rofl a white man with soul where the hell do you come up with this

[RTDavis0503]

Micheal is one of the best R & B and Rock vocalist of all time. I love him. I am a black man and a vocalist. I don't what color he is he can sang! He influenced me.

[Mahlercougar]

I agree with you. Michael Is truly and awesome R&B/Rock/pop singer. I dont care what color a person is. If they can move me in a way that makes me respond emotionally. Im totally into them. I love MM

[jsept]

Elegancia...Ritimo e Prazer

[ThaMuzikMizzle87]

ditto saywhuuh

[saywhuuh]

a white man with soul.

[monsterconsoledaddy]

They *are* the best and they gave me a lot.
