My first review of this CD didn't make it, I hope this one does. This first self-titled album from the guys, was a milestone in Christian music. It won them 2 Grammy's in both jazz and gospel. It was also the first and only time a Christian act was nominated in the Best Newcomer category. Even such industry giants as Quincy Jones and Stevie Wonder had to take notice. The a capella sound was given a major shot-in-the arm with the release of this classic. With rich vocal harmonies, and impressively unique arrangements; Take 6 recorded traditional black church music like it had never been heard before. 'If We Never Needed The Lord Before,' 'Mary,' 'David And Goliath' and 'Get Away, Jordan,' all stand out along with two outstanding originals; 'Gold Mine' and their trademark masterpiece 'Spread Love.' Many popular groups of today, trace much of their style and sound to this recording. Yes, even Boyz II Men! This is where any serious Take 6 collection must begin.
