| | Take 6 Biography and Update at SoulTracks |
 | | In the ultimate of paradoxes, by focusing on the narrow, seemingly out-of-vogue a cappella singing style, Take 6 has become one of the most versatile, broadly loved groups of the past 20 years, and has broken down a number of barriers between musical genres – particularly the lines between Jazz, Gospel and Soul. |
 | | Consisting of brothers Mark and Joey Kibble, Cedric Dent, Alvin Chea, David Thomas and Claude McKnight (brother of Brian), Take 6 was formed at Oakwood College in Alabama in the early 80s. |
 | | Take 6 also became a much sought-after vocal partner, appearing in a background role on dozens of albums, most notably Joe Sample’s Spellbound (singing “U Turn”) and Quincy Jones’s Back on the Block. |
