❤ can’t say enough about Commissioned! The best to do the male, harmonic band collective. Often imitated but can never be duplicated!

these guys made music that made you proud to be saved at a young age and to have no shame in your walk with the lord. these songs really got me through a lot and got me through my high school years. i couldnt wait for a commissioned album to drop. i love all of the members of commissioned. i and i agree this is the greatest male group of all time and all genres.

Commissioned are The Beatles of gospel music. One of the most innovative, and influential music groups of all time. There will never be another like them. Thank you Fred, Michael Brooks, Keith, Karl, Mitchell, Michael Williams, Marvin , Maxx, and Eddie. You all gave us some of the best music ever!

great lead vocals keith

I knew that looked like an old school Ibanez Bass. He's a beast on the bass.

This reminds me of when Commissioned first came to London, Eng. It was annointed and pure with the good news sung with real passion and conviction. Fred is THE ONE!!!

God truly had his HAND on them! Their music and lyrics were the best, so full of the God's anointing power in each song! God bless them in whatever direction they take! But they will forever be my favorite all male gospel group of all TIMES !❤💔❤💔

Love these guys. I grew up on everyone of their records, seriously I don't think there's a song I don't know from them. Their songs really do minister to me.

It's 1984 and Fred is still killing the bass!!!

Love, love, love Commissioned! Their songs really ministered to me and helped me grow in the Lord!

I would love to see a documentary made on how this group came to be. One of my favorite groups in ANY genre of music.

Sometimes my heart Gets Weak From The Strain, but I go on Jesus name, giving my problems to you. Hoped that helped B blessed.

GREATEST GROUP EVER!!

Commissioned gettin' their Winans on in them suits. Thanks for posting this!

Such an amazing gospel group. Been listening to Fred Hammond since I was a little girl. Hooked on Fred's music, and love all the Commissioned music they were ahead of there time.

Give it up for Fred Hammond on the Bass Guitar!!!

there have been many great contemporary gospel quarters over the years, but for my generation (those in their mid 30s late early 50s) Commissioned has no equal. their music, ministry and excellence is in a class all by itself. i am so glad these brothers used their talent for ministry. I pray God would continue to bless and use their work for many generations to come.

I'm embarrassed that I'm just discovering this amazing band! I've read some of the comments and I agree. This band could stand toe to toe with Heatwave, The Ohio Players, Earth Wind and Fire, etc. Fred Hammond and Marvin Sapp were in the same band? Unbelieveable!

very few people can play funky bass lines and sing at the same time. Don't sleep on Fred's bass playing.

I love this group!!!!! I remember seeing them in concert at Shelton Temple in the 80's good times.

Thank you SO much for uploading to share. This is everything!!!

Commissioned..the greatest group ever..toto earth wind and fire doobie brothers journey van halen chicago all in one...the best to ever do it

Me too. So nice to see that. My story almost word for word. Thank God for Commissioned.

Definitely throwback!! Love it..nothing like the original. Sing Keith!!

Just hooked up my Klipsch Pro Media 2.1 Computer Speakers to my laptop and that makes this clip THAT MORE special. They (Commissioned and the Speakers) sounds so good!

Reminds me of my childhood. My dad would play this in the house and in the car :) Thanks for sharing.

still listening to it in 2014,thanks

Thanks for sharing. love it! Being blessed at 1:46 in the morning! God blesses anytime of day and through any way He delights in!

THEE GREATEST

@schecter5strg Yep. Wouldna recognized him if you didn't point him out. Looks like he's playing an Ibanez bass I use to like.

It looks a Thomas Morrison 1981 IBANEZ Musicians Bass.

it’s the 3:00 mark for meeeee

@beaglin I agree 100% !

FRELI77 GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love commissioned! Do you have any of stewart parks songs? This was a real TREAT!!!

No sir, I'm not in the group and I'm not remotely close to the group. I am just like you, a lover of GOOD music. This group is outstanding and a lot more people in the world need to hear their ministry. But the same can be said about a lot of artist. Past and present artist. You know anything about Tommy Sims?

Will you please post these on Instagram

Do you know what kind of bass Fred is playing in this clip?

Acoustic version always better.
