Commissioned is my ALL TIME group! I have my Commissioned Playlist bumping till this day! I used to work gospel concerts in my younger years and had the privilege of attending dinner after a concert with these brothers. Let me tell you, I have never seen such humble, talented and down to earth brothers who were Elite artists in the industry at that time. They changed my life and I will be forever grateful for the impact of their ministry!! Blessed.
So good to see you all Live. Besides going to Church with all of them except Bishop Brooks. I sat next to Fred, Mitch and Michael in Mumford High Choir. Grew up with Karl and Keith at the same Church since we were basically babies, Clinton Street and Unity Temple. Just look at God!
"I'm gonna let my love flow...not just words, gonna let my actions show...for I need you as a friend and brother...let's STOP FIGHTING and love one another!"
I love commission still listen to your CDs , and God has truly blessed you all, keep doing what you’re doing so many people are still to this day, being blessed by your ministry.😇
If everyone was the eye, who would hear? If everyone was the ear, who would see? etc… You’re all talented brothers. I hope you can see the message in this. Commissioned achieved what it did because of all of you. However, the self sabotage was when you got rid of the eyes. Fred Hammond is a key component of what the group was, not what it is today: a beautiful vehicle that is supposed to lead masses of people to Christ but, y’all done got rid of the engine. I’m so embarrassed for you guys. EVERYONE SEES WHAT THIS IS.
Sometimes the engine needs to be overhauled. The “vision “ can get dim and blurry. With that said, it’s not a one sided situation. No need to sensationalize ONE side as the culprits. There is only ONE culprit and we all know what his name is. Everything did/does not hang upon one person. There were/are 7 other individuals who helped shape, develop and contribute to sound that is Commissioned. I suggest my brother that you watch the video again. There are some gaps and holes from the other side story in what was told. In this video, I was given answers to a lot of questions that I have been thinking and asking myself over the years of who did what in the group, In terms of arranging the songs. Who played what role in the sound of commissioned.THIS Video answered ALL Of my questions. The other side was vague and ambiguous in their presentation. It was a lot of throwing off and throwing shade from the other people that were giving their “views “ Of the situation. Pastor Staten Was the only one who had neutrality concerning the situation. He was gracious and kind. The other two… Mehhhhh… Not so much. Leadership takes more than just bullying people. It takes confidence to realize that it’s more than about you. You have the confidence to recognize and appreciate those that are around you. You recognize that when they shine, you will shine as well.
Would y'all consider doing a biopic like New Edition did? Everyone is still living and you each could Executive Produce so that your depiction is correct.
They are Commissioned because they have been putting in the work since 1984. They are not the add-ons that came later. They are the ORIGINAL COMMISSIONED. There wouldn’t be a Commissioned without Bishop Brooks, Pastor Reid, Pastor Mitchell Jones, and Michael Williams…🤨😑🤫🤫
Ummmmmmmm… Nooooooo… He wasn’t on those stages by himself or recording or producing,arranging or writing all of those wonderful songs by himself. As a matter of fact MOST of the songs were written by Bishop Michael Brooks, Pastor Mitchell Jones and the incomparable Parkes Stewart…🤫

Please pray about doing a documentary.
These are my favorites of ALL time !! I was at the reunion 20 plus years ago, I went to Cincinnati to see them ! I’ll travel the globe!
Brothers, I listened back then and am still listening now. Praise Yah for your gifts and bless you for allowing YAH to use you.

I am so thankful that you all were faithful and ministering by 1989 when I gave my life to Jesus 💕. God used your music to strengthen me many times❣️

Where is Fred and Keith without them how are you Commissioned?
Fred and Keith is doing their own thing with Marcus.

I love Fred but they all contributed to the sound of Commissioned.
