they influenced gospel as well as r&b artists. ask jodeci, boys to men, chuckii booker and may others. they are truly gospel legends.

They were the PERFECT combination of pure worship, beautiful harmony, and raw sole all tied together. They achieved a level of spirituality through music that cannot be found today. This video makes me want to shout every time I watch it. The organ brought a different sound than the keyboards they normally use, and give the drummer his props because he was really making this song kick. Thank you for posting this. Be blessed!!

The number 1 singing aggregation EVER assembled........These tunes kept my ear out of the world and fixed on Gospel music and the message of Christ's love..... Powerful lyrics, flawless production, uncompromising message, and ministry at it's finest... From 85 to today...The Music Industry's finest....The MOTOR CITY SUPERGROUP!!!!!!!!

Commissioned set the stage for many of the secular artists of that time - Music is Gods and they knew it and took total advantage of the gift gave them and expressed it. It has influenced me and man other men like me who grew up with them. I am 48 and Commissioned is my generation. My style and expression of singing was formed by them as well as Steview, Donnie and other artists like that. They have a lagacy that will withstand time and their old music is going to be rebirthed inthis generation.

Wow! It makes sense. I had never heard of the group but had seen an album cover. I was in a store and a guy put their cassette in a stereo to test it out. I asked him who it was and left the store and bought one of their albums. Been hooked ever since. Well, at least they care about each other. That is a happy ending....sort of. Thanks for the info. Another group ahead of its time.

Congratulations to Commissioned and Shirley Caesar for being honored as the BMI trailblazers for their years of service. It was a long time coming. The ceremony takes place in January 2011. They are my favorite male gospel group who did not water down the message of Jesus Christ in song.

Hey Tomas Harris, they actually debuted the year before in 1984 at the Sunday evening service and then jammed later on in the basement of the Chisca Hotel. I tease Fred about those light blue jackets "The Commissioners". LOL! "I'm Going On" dropped in January 1985 and they hit the road that whole year. This was the Midnight Musical at Dixon-Meyers Hall at the Convention Center and the air was tense waiting on them. When they hit "Giving My Problems To You" it kinda fell on deaf ears because the MM was always in high-octane/gut-bucket mode. LOL! I was 16yrs old and on the stage with rest of the musicians, doing what every musician does at the Midnight Musical in Memphis: talking about how dope Derrick Jackson was....even though he was NOT there. LOL! SMH.

Interesting, I was in the lobby, and Kenneth Spears from D. C. was walking behind Twinkie Clark going into the midnight musical. I guess they went on stage. That night on the way to the service, they had played one of Commissioned songs on the radio in the courtesy car that I was riding in. I think the station played this same song.

i think the group forming their own careers was the plan of God or they wouldn't have been so successful. I mean Fred Hammond and Marvin Sapp's careers have blessed many and continue to be successful. I believe Mithchel and Keith also made a CD.

Is this really Mitchell Jones? Either way, Commissioned blessed so much especially when I was going through some things and the songs brought back to mind the words of scripture. Praise God. But Mitchell Jones singing "you can depend on Jesus", you don't know how the Lord spoke to me and comforted me through that song even though I heard it years after the first release! I have all the albums...most lol. Love those guys!
