Take 6 is both a throwback to an earlier, more genteel era of American music and a precursor for a number of black male pop groups of the ’90s (most notably Boyz II Men). Also they has recorded Christmas carols, toured with Al Jarreau, appeared on Quincy Jones’ all-star Back on the Block album, and on Join the Band (1994) they used instrumental backing for the first time.

However, 1996′s Brothers album indicated a turn toward commercial, sound-alike soul music that threatened to rob Take 6 of its unique identity. So Cool followed in 1998, with We Wish You a Merry Christmas appearing a year later. The new millennium was a time of rejuvenation. Beautiful World, released in April 2002, showcased an incredible instrumentation and Take 6′s new musical approach.
