Artist:Commissioned
Song:King Of Glory
Album:The Commissioned Reunion:Live
I guess you could say this is a double shot of Fred Hammond. He was a member of the very popular contemporary gospel group Commissioned in 1987. Other members were Keith Staten, Michael Brooks, Mitchell Jones, Karl Reid & Marcus Cole. Hammond & Brooks wrote and produced most of the songs. When Hammond and then Brooks left Commissioned in 1993, they were replaced by Marvin Sapp and then Montrell Darrett. Commissioned split up when Sapp went solo in 1996. When Sapp moved from Word Records to Verity in 2000, Hammond got the idea for a Commissioned reunion concert. The concert at the Straight Gate Church in Detroit in Oct. 2001 was recorded and filmed. Brooks & Darrett were not involved. Sapp said he was very excited about the reunion because he had never worked with Hammond before. You can get the concert on 2CDs and it's also on DVD. Hammond produced and arranged everything and his musicians and Radical For Christ are on this. King Of Glory is an update of a 1991 Hammond song with Hammond & Sapp trading lead vocals. The band is tight and very hot. Of course Hammond & Sapp have had the most visible solo success. The other guys have had varying degrees of solo success and Brooks has mostly produced his wife's group Witness. This is great music and worth checking out. Here's a video from this concert with Commissioned performing King Of Glory & Let Me Tell It with Marvin Sapp & Marcus Cole trading lead vocals with Hammond.
