What is my favorite group of all time??? You got it. Commisisoned! They had the PHAT harmonies and arrangements when no one else did. Commissioned took the Idea of a contemporary male "quartet" group that The Winans jumped off and took it to another level. If you ask any gospel "boy band" of the last 20 years who their main influences were, you'd be hard pressed to find one that doesn't pay respect to Commissioned.
They've gone through their roster changes, from Michael Brooks, who started doing most of the writing, to Fred Hammond who became bigger than life (No pun intended), to Mitchell Jones and Karl Reid who are the only remaining original members, to Montrell Darrett, and Marvin Sapp, who launched a huge solo career.
Their ministry has been undeniable, their melodies infectious, arrangements tight, and influence far reaching. Some of their stuff has already been dropped on the Fill-up, including Go Tell Somebody, State of Mind, and The Commission Reunion Live, so I'll add these on. If you've never experienced Commissioned, now's your chance. Be sure to go out and support their ministry. Enjoy and be blessed!
