I miss you.
The goat!!!
I never realised how your lead vocals were more "full voice" than falsetto. The reason is, this song is so beautiful that it doesn't matter. What you've done with A Quiet Place will be a part of jazz history forever and one of the reasons is your voice!
I love that story about noticing in the moment what you felt the song needed. On reflection, I can feel what I felt when I listened to that CD hundreds of times in the late 80s, and that song specifically. I remember noticing and feeling the power that came through b/c of your decision and it felt just right, especially in the context of the lyric and the feel of everything else about the song. It was like a beacon, and if you had been in partial falsetto, the whole thing would have been sweet, but much less impactful, I think. Thank you a million times for this and so many other gifts you've given us over the years. So many blessings.
I hope you know how sincere we are when we say how special your recording of this song is. For me, personally, it changed my life-no exaggeration. There aren’t many songs I can say have “gotten me through the tough times.” It was a confluence of so many small and large special things in that recording and arrangement that make it so. And yes, your personal vocal performance is one of them! Thanks for sharing.
I have to agree with Evan... The song has also turned into literally "A Quiet Place" I can go to when things are getting me down. A Quiet Place is one of the most legendary recordings in vocal group history and we do appreciate the series! Maybe there is something that just resonates with people named Evan and A Quiet Place haha
Thx my friend 🙏🏾🙏🏾
virtual concert needs to happen
One of my favourites
I like the way it sounded bro. I think you made the right choice
I still love it too. Such a beautiful lead
I was introduced to Take 6 music in 1989, the summer after my freshman year in high school. A couple years later, my name director handed out "Quiet Place." We only played it once, at the beginning of a pep rally. (I know...odd). The crowd got quiet to listen, and I loved the fact that they applauded afterwards. It's a great memory I have.
For whatever reason, I AM GLAD that you did. :-) I NEVER hated the way it sounded. I thought it was the best cut on that disk, and I can't even imagine how many times I listened to that CD.
Love this! Can’t wait for Spread love chesting D with fantastic dist!
Parabéns gostei muito de sua iniciativa de compartilhar seu processo de pensamento e desenvolvimento vocal! Imenso presente a todos nós!
What's up Claude! Just saw these guys in Berrien Springs MI a few weeks ago. Great background. What's really interesting is that it's very very hard to tell when Claude is using falsetto vs his normal head voice. I find that impressive. Most guys sound like 2 different people.
I love the power and authenticity of that lead vocal. So glad you didn't record it in full falsetto. Conveys so much emotion the way it is. Really anchored to the lyric and meaning of the song
100% my favorite song ever! I owe that to you guys in Take 6. It's likely I would never have discovered this song if you hadn't done this incredible arrangement of it that I have transcribed on my own so I could sing it along with you. Thanks for that. :-)
God really just brought me here after I said I was losing my inspiration!
Quiet Place is my favorite song!!! Your voice was amazing!!!! Lol
Love all the songs by Take 6. Harmony and vocals are so beautiful and tight . I also love Come unto me , Get away Jordan.And your lead on Walk on the Wild side .🔥🔥.
Love the song , it’s the best rendition. It was wonderfully done , that’s why the other fellas let you sing that way because they knew that you have wonderful full and head voice . If not they probably would have told you to sing it the falsetto voice
Claude, you're the guy I followed to gain my tenor vocal range when I used to sing back in the day. God bless you "CaludeyMac"
Listen to the group POINT OF DEPARTURE song QUIET PLACE.. and listen to the girl that sings your part and take her under your wing!!!!
Years ago I heard quiet place from a jazz trombone player play that song at church... I couldn't believe it and then when your debut album came out, I couldnt believe quiet place and "if we ever" unbelievable recordings. You are your own worst critic but it was so amazing to me.
It was crazy to see your name on that album not too long after your brother Brian McKnight sing with Vanessa Williams on the 90210 album. What an amazing talented family
Awesome stuff. You are a National Treasure Sir. I thank God for you and Take 6. I have many of your albums.
Oh, thanks for sharing this story...
Thank you for your honesty! You have always been an inspiration to me.
This is one of the songs that changed my life for the better. I was at the Seattle show earlier this year, and was waiting for you to hit that high note!🤩 I love the way you gave it a different approach. Hearing and seeing this performed live was such a #BLESSING I have business to attend in Georgia in December and while I'm there I can't wait to see the Athens show. I gotta hear "The little drummer boy" I pray God keeps you and the fellas safe, blessed, and able to continue to bring the world your blessings from God. #McRite #anointed and #appointed
One of my favourite songs!!!!
I love this!! I love this song as well!! Brings back memories!!
Man that was good a good performance. I always liked it!!
Expertly executed song, great harmonies and a great lead. Can't wait for you to talk about "Lulluby", one of my favorite leads by you Claude.
Bozza Yami!!! Your voice is refreshing, EVERY TIME!
My family members are singers and HATE the sound of their recorded voices! 😂 The rest of us non-singers are blessed by it!
As a vessel of God, sometimes you gotta just let him flow through your creative decisions 😉
Hey there! I saw that the Take 6:Official Scores have been published and are out on the provider websites! I'm a big fan of your work, sir.
Claude, for years this is my goto song guaranteed to relax myself and lower my blood pressure. It’s a god-send! Thanks for doing it perfectly as it is. Don’t go experimenting with changing it! Looking forward to the Valentine’s Day concert. Cheers!

This arrangment is truly a masterpiece! I had the pleasure to sing with my sextet in 2012~2016. Not a common thing in a little city on the smallest state of Brazil 🤣
Ps: recorded here in my channel too
I need some voice lessons from you
Hey brother. When y'all coming down to Orlando?
Is it possible to hear the song you're referencing to be playing in the background? Great stuff
Unfortunately even though it’s our recording.. I’m not exactly sure IF the performance would be flagged to be deleted. ( not on RUclips) but on other platforms once I post it.

Hello Mr Mcknight!!!!!!!!Wonderful job! I wonder are you still on the team of singing success? I purchased a product from singingsuccess and I found that I can book sessions with coaches there? And I found you there!!! OMG. I am a developing singer from China who wishes to improve. Would like to know is there any chances that I can work with you !!! :0!!!! :0!!!!!!!! ;0!!!!!!!!!
You can book lessons with me from their website :)
@@ClaudeMcKnight3 wow！thanks！
I'll give you room to say you don't like your vocals on that particular part of the song (i thought it was absolutely great by the way) because you are entitled to your opinion, but I'm having a hard time understanding why you absolutely hated it 😱. I thought both the d and the dflat versions were da💣!!
