In [Follow My Lead] episode #03 I talk about ‘Biggest Part of Me’ from the 1994 Take 6 album “Join the Band” (our most expensive album). Originally written and recorded by the group #Ambrosia 1980.
From the moment I heard this song in 1980, I knew I wanted to sing it… 14 years later Take 6 decided to do it, I wanted to put everything I had into it.

Take 6 's version of this song was off the hook ...mindblowing ...!!!!!...I love the electric piano sound ...im still looking for those chords since im a piano player myself ..
Today is 2023 and im still in love with that song

[@Pamelab252]

This is my song ❤ I sang it to each of my daughters when they were born. Now that they’re adults 32 & 20; they both sing this song with such a mellow tone I tear up but this song lives on forever❤.

[@ComedianMoGreen]

I called that about your voice, YEARS AGO! the Michael McDonald connection.

[@kimmanning2913]

Hi Handsome. Good to see you.

[@JulietRobin]

Thank you sir for sharing. You have no idea how much I’m learning from you. God bless you and the members. 🙏

[@ClaudeMcKnight3]

You’re welcome 😊

[@ComedianMoGreen]

You know what's crazy Claude?.I never thought to consciously show my teeth more, or being cognizant of my teeth, while singing in the higher registers, until I watched this..WOW. you just improved my voice in 4 minutes, eventhough (no pun intended) I've been singing 38 years!

[@rosalynrozbush303]

You all did a perfect job and I still am very much in love with this song that I first heard it in 1994!

[@BakariSoul]

Thanks for taking time to break this down. All these years never knew the story behind it. I actually sang it with a group years ago and it's deceptively complex. ✌🏿

[@kristinabbott901]

you are such an inspiration as you share your authenticity

[@macdaddybill]

oh my gosh great job doing Michael Mcdonald!

[@GraysonJCrouch]

The arraignment that you do of this song is my father's favorite song of yours and your groups!

[@esanders]

One of my faves...nice to hear about the human process!

[@ClaudeMcKnight3]

Crazy getting back into the headspace and remembering!!!

[@nilsong]

Thanks for sharing this with us Claude

[@marythecommutegirl284]

Awwww... showing some teeth worked!!! 🤓 That's how it is when you are an artist of any type...you don't rest until it's right. But then once you've got it, you've got it!

[@dougie3829]

I love your version of that song. It’s on my morning playlist still to this day.

[@Shione333]

I add "more than a conqueror" when I sing the lead on Take 6's 'Biggest Part of Me". It's one of my favorites.

[@ronnettnorfleet3626]

Him and his brother look like twins.

[@BryanEwald]

yes sir!

[@natehash9237]

Thanks for doing this series. Really enjoy the back story and insights into the classics. It's awesome when you give us a little sample of what a different approach on the vocal would have sounded like. I can't imagine the Michael McDonald take on that song, would have completely changed a classic.

[@Esbproductions23]

Why is this album not on Apple Music I’ve been looking for it lol

[@prestonmcleod1726]

I know y'all made David Pack proud

[@Katkayz]

I love that rendition of the song , I will say it’s equal if not better than the original. I love that your critical of yourself and this pushes you to do exhale even more

[@evanmeaux1292]

Good story! Love the series! As much as you definitely sound like Michael McDonald I always thought you had a bit more of that James Ingram kind of sound, especially like in the high "howl" sort of falsetto you two sound identical lol!
