Emerging from Detroit in the late 80s, Commissioned wasn't just another gospel choir. Blending smooth R&B grooves with electrifying harmonies and potent lyrics, they redefined the genre, bridging the gap between the church and the club. Led by the dynamic duo of Fred Hammond and Mitchell Jones, their electrifying performances and infectious energy turned houses of worship into concert halls.
Hits like "Love Is the Way" soared up the charts, topping both gospel and R&B airwaves. They won multiple Grammys, became the highest-selling gospel group of the 90s, and even performed at the White House. Sadly, the group disbanded in 2006, leaving behind a legacy of innovation and inspiration. Their music continues to move audiences across genres, showcasing the power of gospel to uplift and ignite.
