His aunt, Ava, was my boss and Brian made a surprise visit to the school where she is the Vice President and they both sang a gospel song for the student body.
I was there in person that day and was blessed and amazed to witness firsthand the McKnight/Willis family after dinner/afternoon singspiration! This is a regular occurrence for the family so that is why the harmony, melody and timing was on point. This went on for about an hour and it was pure bliss to be there as they sang song after song!!!
I am at my desk at work, and my students are working on their project in their groups. I stumbled on this video and tears are now rolling down my face. I can't move because I don't want them to see me crying. The tissue is in the front of the room. I'm stuck. I hope no one turns around and looks back here. What am I going to do? I also can't seem to stop pushing the repeat button. "Oh for grace to trust him more." Lord have mercy.
Most singers people call underrated are not, just under exposed. And the reality is the music business is flooded with very good and great singers from here and all over the world. In other words even good, even great singers are dime a dozen now. It’s more about uniqueness, charisma and being young hot new item as well don’t hurt. Plus, and artist has a greater chance at success, recognition and being invested in if they are song writers as well. Example Brian McKnight and most of the other famous artist. Btw, example or proof of what I am saying is there are people who say Brian McKnight is underrated and don’t get the respect he deserves. Wrong! It just what it seems like. The artist themselves don’t think so, but also know for themselves what talents there are here, there and everywhere! ✌️🤙🏼👍
Brian McKnight said his whole family can sang, my goodness Lord...you blessed that entire family. You can feel the love all around them. Harmony is always on point when it's family singing together. Thanks for sharing
Man... I miss singing like this. The energy and feeling that comes with it, it's just amazing, and addicting. Chris is tight, but man, lisen to comparisons in Brians day, the same song, and then listen to this. Dudes dope, and needs no studio to sound like that.
I thought this was just about two solist singing out one after the other. When suddenly out of nowhere the choir just stepped in and flooded the room with such warm harmony. I'm guessing that choir is actually family members. What an amazing worship session. So blessed
Nothing like family singing together. Forget what the media says about us; there's so much about us they don't know or understand---and I'm totally okay with that. I stopped listening to them years ago...Thank God. Give us more of this stuff, guys! Warming my heart over here in Europe away from family and friends!
when i had opened heart surgery in 2014 my husband had left me for another women my only sister would put my earphones in and play this song over and over it helped me so much and as I listen to it today I am remembering her RIH Marva Barnes sissy I truely miss you
wait a second!!!! THE ENDING THOUGH!!!! THAT RESOLVE!!!!I HAD AN EARGASM FROM 3:28 TO THE VERY END!!! OMG!!!!!! Camera man needs to be in front the camera!!! omg!!!!
I concur, booty over brilliance sad to say. Some do have remarkable talent but just happens to a lot of butt. But as for me I will continue to look for vocal talent like this. It just makes your heart feel good to listen to this kind of sound.
Wow sometimes I wish I had a musical family like this. Music is one of the greatest gifts God ever gave to mankind and truly this family has been blessed.
Brian McKnight is in outer-space next level. I've seen him live twice, and been listening for probably 20 years. I have the "Anytime" CD back at my parents house, and I vividly remember him playing on 90210, I believe to Donna and David's marriage. (fact check me on that please) I don't know of a person with more God-gifted talent nor a man more deserving. In a world with r-Kelly's, thank God there is Brian Mcknight to balance it out.
THIS gave me CHILLS!!!! And you're right, the camera man's (Brian Jr.'s) voice, even though he only sang a little bit, but harmonized, his voice is BANANAS!
Good to hear there's still a lot of love for Commissioned out there. The Winans are great, but Commissioned definitely my favourite group of all time also.
nope. Claude is the one carrying the other camera, and is visible. The person that's hitting those runs is behind the camera that's recording this video, which is Brian Mcknight Jr
That's a little hymn mixed with the Commission version...I hear ya'll! That brotha was singing now!!!!!!!! Blessed me!!! Jesus is not just for the holidays either, He's for everyday. ~Jesus IS Lord, to the Glory of God the Father~
Commissioned recorded this version of Tis' So Sweet on their debut album back in 1985! For now and forever, Commissioned is my favorite group of all time! Their gospel style and harmonies have influenced generations of singers for the past 30 years! The gospel music ministry of Commissioned is still touching lives today! We salute all 12 men of Commissioned, past and present. Gentlemen...we are still waiting for a 12 member Commisioned Reunion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had brain surgery in June 2014 and I was told that it was a 50/50 chance that I would make it and remember my family and that I could come out as a vegetable but let me tell you, I serve an awesome God. He allowed me to remember them and now I'm a walking testimony. So if you don't know that Jesus is who he said he was. So I trust that he'll always see you through anything 😍😍😍😍
I had to replay this this morning to be encouraged to go and face an enemy. This evening I replayed it to praise God for victory! Oh, for grace to trust Him more!
Hi, Guys (It's Dwayne)! I just wanted to take the time to thank you all for sharing this intimate family moment with the rest of us. I'm truly blessed by this and it brings back some wonderful memories for me (Moran Hall-Oakwood). I've always described you all (Willis Family) as a Seventh-day Adventist version of the Winans Family. You certainly are every bit as talented. Thanks again. PS - Lauren, Girl, you still look good! Chris, your voice remains anointed :).
What a blessing! It is in the backstage passes required places of our lives where God's annointing is unscripted... That is among our family who knew us when and where it all began. Thanks for letting us get a glipse of this. I am sure it happens with artists all the time.. but we never know about it.
amazing, I had the pleasure to work with Chris Willis years ago. Awesome singer, and Brian, I mean simply great as always. This video is incredible! thank you
2024 January 03: Everytime this shows up in my "pheed", I am phed by Brian and Chris' vocal annointing (we call it "putting some stank on it" out in here in these streets❤❤❤) along with the keyboard and each and every one who is present there...because the innergy in the room tributes to the vocals. Brian, thank you again...we are forever greatfulle to you for gifting the earth with your talente.
McKnight babies are probably born crying in perfect pitch and given microphones instead of rattles. What a praise session!
Please do NOT ever remove this video from YT.
+cherishdeb Lol
Amen and Amen NOT EVER...
EVER!!!
Eva!!
Never ever
Camera man killing the riffs 🤘
Brian Mcknight Junior
In tears. Nothing like black family after church, after dinner...singing to God.
Chris Willis is cold❄💨
Chris Willis is a beast!
Hear him Singing...Stand!!! Wow!!
thats crazy when your whole family can sing.
We can make a choir with my family. Lol
Was this rehearsed?!
I don't wanna be racist here, but... I'm under the understanding that every black person can sing well, like unfairly well
Bobby lashley has become an alternative to the various aspects of feeling like a human being able being killed black and white men now

Simply beautiful JESUS!!
I’m right there with you😂
Chris Willis is so underrated 😂😂dude is cold🙏🏾🎹big ups to Commissioned for that arrangement, and to the McKnight family for keeping it alive😇❤️

They sang like Jesus was in the room that day! Woooo lawd!
where 2 or 3 are gathered in His holy name, Jesus Christ is present:)
The first person I've seen who can actually compete with Brian singing. Chris Willis, The guy is talented!
They're cousins
Brian McKnight said his whole family can sang, my goodness Lord...you blessed that entire family. You can feel the love all around them. Harmony is always on point when it's family singing together. Thanks for sharing

Who ever ended behind the cam just killed how was supposed too!!! Nice work out
You know you can sing when you don't even move or break a sweat. Chris!
I thought this was just about two solist singing out one after the other. When suddenly out of nowhere the choir just stepped in and flooded the room with such warm harmony. I'm guessing that choir is actually family members. What an amazing worship session. So blessed
As Usual...loving all that Brian McKnight does in all of his perfection....Chris Willis is new to us...but he has won us over!
That McKnight family is anointed. Point blank period. Awesome!
Lol...roots baby. We never get away from our roots. Love it.
Nothing like family singing together. Forget what the media says about us; there's so much about us they don't know or understand---and I'm totally okay with that. I stopped listening to them years ago...Thank God.
Give us more of this stuff, guys! Warming my heart over here in Europe away from family and friends!
Anthony Stewart much love from Cali. I know the wonder and beauty of you and yours. Stay strong :)
when i had opened heart surgery in 2014 my husband had left me for another women my only sister would put my earphones in and play this song over and over it helped me so much and as I listen to it today I am remembering her RIH Marva Barnes sissy I truely miss you

Wow. Powerful. Sang beautifully. I'm blown away. The camera man is killing it. They can sing. Reminds me of my family
MY GOD!!!! This is just crazy vocals. Why don't people sing like this anymore?
I concur, booty over brilliance sad to say. Some do have remarkable talent but just happens to a lot of butt. But as for me I will continue to look for vocal talent like this. It just makes your heart feel good to listen to this kind of sound.
They do....just at church
Wow sometimes I wish I had a musical family like this. Music is one of the greatest gifts God ever gave to mankind and truly this family has been blessed.
Awesome!... Orlando Grey, you just make your own :-)
Good idea lol I got lots of work to do though

nope. Claude is the one carrying the other camera, and is visible. The person that's hitting those runs is behind the camera that's recording this video, which is Brian Mcknight Jr
Brian jr has serious pipes
