Hello:

John Lee was great, I loved John Lee because … he liked to do the songs in one take. The producers were just having fits, because John would do the song and it was like you hear him sing on one record, ‘Thank you fellas!’ He’d walk off into the lounge and they wanted him to do another take just for posterity’s sake.

Could you someone explain to me what does it mean: "do the songs in one take"?

Thank you in advance.
