Take S ix -M o s t Sought A fte r
Group In Gospel: W ith the tremen
dous success o f Take S ix ’ s self-titled
debut, w hich went gold, the group is
one o f the most sought after groups
in gospel music. However, many like
Rev. James Cleveland consider their
group to be “ more entertainment
oriented, than gospel-oriented.” That
doesn’ t bother manager G ail H a m il
ton. “ O ur mission is to reach people
who have not necessarily embraced
Jesus. N ot the Christian who has a l
ready identified and I don’t think
that’ s a sell-out. I t ’ s a way o f packag
ing the m inistry to people who w ould
n ot o r d in a rily
em brace th is
message...that Jesus is Lord and God
is love. W e were at the Playboy Jazz
Festival and to listen to thousands o f
people singing, I f we ever needed the
Lord, we sure do need him now. It
was great. I thought I knew the Lord
before, but lately he has become really
real, because I am really witnessing
now. I t ’ s real easy fo r Christians to
talk about Jesus to each other, but it ’ s
something else to talk to someone
who has put it on the shelf or is not
interested anymore. T hat’ s the chal
lenge” . The group just winded down
a three-month long tour w ith A1 Jar-
reau. They are presently at w ork on a
second album.
