Bishop Michael Brooks & Commissioned with a Praise Break Tribute by V. Keys

Recently, the producer and arranger behind many of Commissioned's most memorable songs, BISHOP MICHAEL BROOKS, has found his place in the heavenly musician's core. I'll be back later this week, with my thoughts on and when I first met Dr. Brooks. For now, we commemorate the memory of one of  if not the greatest musicians ever. 

I first posted this V.Keys Tribute in a 2017 post:

I certainly enjoyed this, but this brother trying to take my spot!!!!

BMI...A Tribute To ~ Commissioned

Now, anyone that knows me knows that I am all things Commissioned. Not simply because of personalities, but because every one of the group members that I know (past and present) are sincerely dedicated to Christ and the building of Christ's Kingdom. In other words, they are saved folk, and not just playing the part and making money. So when my friend Karl Reid posted a part of BMI's January 2011 tribute to Commissioned as sung by the Clark Sisters, I was more than happy to add it to the blog. As a bonus I added The Men Of Standard tribute to Commissioned also. This is yet another fantastic song that blessed my life. These songs were written at a time when Gospel music actually had lyrics that let you know they were singing gospel...isn't that a novel idea??? BTW: I'm rootin' for another tour with all NEW songs this time...in other words a new Commissioned project with all the original and current group members. I think we would be well served to go back to real gospel music with Christ centered lyrics.  

(Special note: I hope that the Clark Sisters and other gospel singers will continue to tribute gospel folk instead of secular folk such as Frankie Beverly...Just a thought!)

The Clark Sisters ~ "I'm Going On"


Men Of Standard ~ "Runnin' Back To You"


Blessed!
