Commissioned is the greatest male group of all times..period!! There has not been anyone else since them with the vocals and strong gospel lyrical content. The words they sing teach and make you think! This song is so beautiful and the lyrics are powerful "where we'll count not the time by years...and there will be no darkness there!"

Darryl Brown You are absolutely correct my brother. A lot of people think Commissiond's sound was influenced by the Winans but Fred has said on several occasions that their sound was based on The Clark Sisters' super tight, legendary four part harmony. Which is probably why Witness's four part harmony resembled The Clark Sisters on certain songs.

@deenice681 I think Fred played bass for the Winans before founding Commissioned. I think they were probably very close, so I'm sure the Winans were an influence.

If Commisioned wasn't influenced by The Winans, how do you explain songs like Giving My Problems To You being similar to the Winans sound. Keith Staten is clearly trying to channel the vocal style of Marvin Winans on that song.

tacoque he joined in 1991 when they released their album entitled "Number 7", replacing Keith Staten I believe; and remained there until 1996. Then once Marvin left, Marcus Cole filled the spot.

@@matthewmccarty1223don’t forget that when Fred left that they added Montrel Darrett… and he was very essential on the Album”Irreplaceable Love”with Marvin Sapp. Marvin as u said left for his solo career and then came Marcus Cole… but before Commissioned could come out with another album, Montrel went solo and then came Chris Poole(rip).
