The reason for the difference is because of the technology; they don't create they use current stuff and build on it

🎶Mighty-mighty, mighty-mighty🎶 MEMORIES. My (public) schools had instrument lessons & chorus for vocals (from k-12). I took chorus, clarinet & piano lessons. They really need to see the importance of the arts for children and bring it back into ALL SCHOOLS.

Testify By Commisioned Is One Of The Best Gospel Songs Ever Recorded! 🙏🏽💪🏽

Oh Lord, we’re calling you show yourself strong, hallelujah much love to you King, Frederick, Hammond👑🌹🌹💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Blessed coming and going 🙋🏾‍♀️

I still cannot believe that some years back I met Fred with his band and vocals. One of the most memorable moments in my life. Fred’s music inspired me a lot, especially in bass playing. It changed my life. Fred, thank you for continuing to share your gift👊🏾

Love this conversation. Thank you.

Fred I be playing your music daily! Thankful for your talent. Blessings us🍁🍂🕊️

OH MAN!! This taking back down memory lane. Commission, Fred and radical for Christ. The "In The House Series". Worship in the house, Praise in the house, Glory in the house, Word in the house, Shout in the house."Fred's Christmas Cd, "Strange way to save the world". Anyone remember buying these Cd's? Fred put out the best Praise and Worship music. Anointed,gifted song writer, musician and producer. Llove and apprewciate you Fred Hammond. Your ministry really impacted my life. Your music timeless, still playing it. Praying you do another praise and worship Cd with Keith Staten and the crew. (Anyone doing Cd's anymore?)

Fred the Lord has used you to minister to me in ways that bless me to this day. From the 90s to now your albums have been a voice to my love and worship of the Lord. When i didnt know how to pray i knew how to worship, when i was afraid and dont know how to express it to the lord I'd literally sing Jesus be a fence. The Lord has been so good to me and i had to leave a comment after revisiting the inner court album. Sir, thank you for using your gift for the Lord, to bless his people and wave the banner of his name! You are one gospel artisit i dont have to worry about, you sing the word and the Lords presence greets me every time I listen.

❤ u Mr Hammond thank u .so grateful for you 🙏🏾

Total banger!!❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Show yourself strong is one of my all time favorite songs!

I remember my youth choir director taught us this song and we struggled to hit them notes! We sang it once...lol Props to your singers, Uncle Fred!

My favorite male gospel artist 🙌🏽🔥

Thank you for setting the pathway for the ones up and coming! Love ❤️ me some Commission! “FRED”❤️❤️❤️ you guys keep doing what you do In Jesus Name!🤲🏾

One of my all-time favorite songs! If I was stranded on a desert Island and could only take one artist's catalog it's going to be Hamond or Smallwood.

That’s what you call timeless music

Fred, another great episode!!! I love this because it's the journey not the arrival which makes you strong. Blessings Brother, -JS!

Another thing about learning back in the day is 1) many families (especially with multiple children) could not afford a teacher. You could have talent or an interest, but if you had no one to teach you, you had an uphill journey. You also had some older musicians who tried to gatekeep knowledge. They wouldn't teach you what they knew because they wanted to be "the best." Today, you can learn almost anything on KZfaq. Even professionals you couldn't reach are showing tips & tricks online. 2) Nowadays, you have rewind, slow downn apps that remove other instruments from the song, screen prompts & cameras and HD showing the actual fingerings, etc. Back in the day, cassettes were the big flex. Being able to rewind was a luxury. We had 30-second commercials and radio stations where you had to call in & request a song and listen for that lick ONCE, then hope they played the song again in the next hour. Nowadays, you want a song? It's at your fingertips. You don't know the song or artist? Shazam it. We wore out tapes & scratched CDs (and used CD cleaner) trying to hear that lick or movement. 3) Sheds are addictive. Seeing other kids do something well makes you want to do it. The closest thing we had to sheds was the 30-minutes after church while your parents was still talking to everyone, or after a revival when multiple churches got together, or after a concert. That exchange of information & display of talent was contagious. But mainly, 4) digital brought the cost of learning and making mistakes down. Imagine the cost of cassettes, 2" reel-to-reels, studio time, etc. Media was expensive. Mistakes were expensive. They don't understand the "splice tool" they use now, we actually had to cut physical tape we made & reconnect it with silver mylar tape. And you could only cut a recorded track once. Instruments were expensive. Nowadays, kids have DAWS for free included with entry-level computers, and in their phones. Instruments are getting cheaper. A MIDI controller & a phone or iPad can take you a long way. There are 3D-printed instruments. Technology and access have brought learning & studios to the masses. What the original 4-track recorder and synthesizers did for us, smartphones and tablets do for them. And they are still evolving exponentially.

Blessed to see and hear this.

Blessings Mr Fred Hammond 💞🙏💞

Hi Great flashback. Quick question are you guys going to NY. I thought I saw this event was going to be at Kings Theater...NO? Thanks and keep sharing and teaching!

Where's EP3 uncle Fred??? God bless y'all!

Requesting another video, please. Not being pushy but you are missed. 🙏🏽

Love this Fred! Is there anyway we can purchase the warehouse worship tapes?

When is the tour coming to Orlando, Florida?😊

do you still have the instrumental to let the praise begin cause I can't find it I had it on tape back in the day

That's my song!! 7:40

I thought that was “Eddie Winslow” Darius McCrary 😂

I am surprised Fred Hammond didn't mention the impact of Thomas Whitfield if any I thought he played a small part

I see snoop on bass

Nice 👍

Are you not coming to NC for the holiday tour???😔

Hey Freddy Fred😇😇

Is that Michael Bethany in the back

Hey Fred

They don’t rely on teaching they google everything give them a time limit w/ tablets iPhones iPads

sorry, should have used my spell checker in my last post.

King Frederick????? You serve the wrong king!!!

It's fake use of AI no talent!!

I am 1:06 into the video and (in my best Winans voice) Question is: why does Fred have so much swag? He says he’s “uncle Fred” but me and a zillion other women call him “Zaddy Fred” cause he’s fine! Hope and pray he has someone to pour back into him all the love and dedication he pours out through his amazing ministry, he deserves that Anita Baker “good love” I may be jealous of the woman but I’d be ecstatic for him! 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾 I’m turning AARP eligible next month and I’ve fan girled out over Fred since I was 14 years old 😂😂😂 He never lost his swag!

❤❤❤❤
