This is Commissioned at its best! i remeber these concerts-relevant, anointed! impacting, fresh! and powerful! boy are they missed-i feel sorry for the young christians today for they have -they missed out.
Absolutely stellar, never another group like them!! Growing up in Ohio a little more south of Detroit, their music was a huge impression to keep me from the streets when I got saved!
BISHOP MICHAEL ALAN BROOKS... The architect and engine behind these Anointed songs and sound that is called Commissioned. RIH Bishop. You are truly missed...😭
My favorite gospel group of ALL TIME. I waited for every cassette tape release from the mid-80s. I was in college then. I scraped up my coins to make sure I had their latest….this music probably kept me alive during those young, crazy days!!!❤🙏🏾♥️
@@marjorjorietillman856 they are all 70 now. Yes I am exaggerating lol I am huge Commissioned fan but I don’t want to see them huff and puff on stage out of breath in 2023. They have done multiple reunions over the last 20 years. I am good.
The horns! The 3-tiered keyboard stand! The folding chair instead of a drum throne! These guys really took things to another level.I remember I had to leave a concert because my mom thought the sound of their music was too secular! They were definitely creative and they wrote great music...
I am so upset that I have never been to see them but I do have every album. Awesome Gospel group and I still play their music today.. as if I am listening to them for the first time. Never get tired of hearing this music.
Trailblazers!!❤ I use to buy their music too, from their first album on…. And their concerts were awesome! Fred use to sing with the Winans before he started Commissioned. I loved the Winans, the Clark Sisters, but Commissioned did have the “coolest” sound when I was in my 20s. But Detroit had it going on!!! Now it’s also places like Houston and other cities😊, but Detroit had it’s own awesome sound!!
The best Commissioned concert was in January 1990 at Brooklyn College. That place was bumping and jumping. We didn't get out til' after midnight and a curtain call. Fred said "this is the way saints party!"
Same here in Atlanta at Emory University in 1990 ..Commissioned and Take 6..What!!!!?..The tickets were sooo cheap and it was part of our family reunion... WE were like 50 deep..i still to this day dont know how my mother got that many tickets..lol..a cherished memory
Miss those days with Commissioned they absolutely gave you more than your money worth! At that time tickets were about. Ten or Fifteen dollars! My boys would cone to Ohio faithfully, seems like every year and l was there! I'm 65 and still plays their music! 2022
I was raised up on commission after hearing my brother always playing their albums in the basement I still remember so I asked God to give me all the commission CDs as well as shekinah Glory The winans and all of the anointed vessels that he has used to teach me whether in song or in teaching a mother inside mother Estella boy from Detroit Michigan Shalom Temple God used her to teach me very very well as well as a father in Zion pastor elder Kenneth or Collins from Gary Indiana prayer Tower of Gary Indiana and many many more and I cannot forget Bishop stacks and his wife mother doctor Gertrude stacks from Detroit Shalom Temple as where she has got taught bye a mother in Zion mother Estella boy from Detroit Michigan as well they have taken their flight the generals have taken their flight but I still remember because everything they have taught me is coming to pass right now in this day in this season 🙏🙏😇💕❤️❤️♂️ who God fearing.
Me and my 33yr. old daughter was just reminiscing about when she was small and Commissioned came to Minneapolis ever July, it was like a birthday present to me, because it was always the week of. I still have some CDs, and some song in my phone. Great music and lyrics.
This is tremendous. Me and Keith Floyd used to sing this stuff at his apartment in Nashville to warm up before rehearsal. I love it,,,,Always!!!! And you are right...they were ahead of their time.
Thanks Bro! I know ALL of their music, grew up on it! They were so anointed and such a blessing. Had a privilege to see them in concert several times and meet them. No one out right now like these guys!
Before Marvin Sapp, And Before Life and all the Trials & Tribulations & Before Getting to Know GOD n Deal and Really Personal Way....( Spirit & in Truth)....So Cool to view this Archive. .Guitarist 😄😄😄
takes me back. what amazingly talented young men who decided to use their that talent for something other than money and fame. rare to see, but i guess their names tells the story. God bless each of you and i hope this music is cherished for generations to come.
wow-i hadnt realized how much i missed real gospel music till i listened to this video. i miss Commissioned :( ---cant tell you how many days & nights their music help keep me saved & encouraged----"once you get it in your heart then you'll get a brand new start! V-I-C-T-O-R-Y OH YEAH-my Jesus died! so i could have it my Jesus died so you can have It!! thank you for posting!
Check it out, when I was little and they would say "V-I-C-T-O-R-YYYYYYY wont you stand up......" I thought they were saying "We got city on our lives wont you stand up....."lol
OMG!!! Is that my brother Troy from DelaRoy...I mean Delaware? Anyway, I remember those hi-top fades, harmonies, chords, licks and songs from back-in-the-day. Commissioned was indeed ahead of their time. They will never get the recognition for influencing R&B artists, and for setting the bechmark for how to properly minister with an up-to-date sound. They were cool, they were role-models, they were the best at what they did. Btw, Troy; Michael burned you on the gee-tar. : )
"This group was before their time!!!""""
Yes! And this is where Boys II Men got their sound! Wow, they’re sounding so good, even in 2023!!❤😂
Mike Williams chopping it up on a metal folding chair 😆 😅!!!Commissioned always takes the vamp to a whole another level. The Best
NEVER GETS OLD!!!!!!!!!!!! will always be my favorite contemporary GOSPEL music
ALWAYS!!
This is Commissioned at its best! i remeber these concerts-relevant, anointed! impacting, fresh! and powerful! boy are they missed-i feel sorry for the young christians today for they have -they missed out.

We needs bands back for real.
I was fortunate to first hear of these guys when I was a Bible College Student back in 1990. Thanks for sharing.
Their music got me through some hard times when I was younger. I started listening to them back in the 90s and love it just as much now at 52❤❤❤
I love them and thank God for the music He's given them for The Body of Christ!
Bless you, man1 et!
This is definitely a treat. Brings back so many memories. Thank You Father for this Group named Commissioned and for their gift.
Long version of Victory, simply love it! Fred was awesome on the bass, gosh!

Wow look how young - I grew up on these songs. I know all of commissioned songs. These songs molded me growing up.
Me and my 33yr. old daughter was just reminiscing about when she was small and Commissioned came to Minneapolis ever July, it was like a birthday present to me, because it was always the week of. I still have some CDs, and some song in my phone. Great music and lyrics.
Amen!!!!!!!!! Awesomely used by God!!!!!!!! Voices and the anointing!!!!!
This is tremendous. Me and Keith Floyd used to sing this stuff at his apartment in Nashville to warm up before rehearsal. I love it,,,,Always!!!! And you are right...they were ahead of their time.
I Love this song! This is when they had Earl Wright brother on guitar and Keith, Michael, Michael Brooks. These guys never age. Still look the same.
Man... I didn't appreciate this as a kid. The vocals!! 😲😲
