Commissioned, Take 6, Bebe & Cece, The Clark Sisters & The Winans were untouchable in the 80’s. They are the fathers & mothers of contemporary gospel music

@Tabitha245, Edwin and Walter Hawkins should have been in your comment to because they came even before The Winans and Commissioned.

Technically and I’m telling my age here, the Fathers of contemporary gospel music are Edwin Hawkins and Andre Crouch (70’s The Mothers would be The Clark Sisters. (70’s) Bebe and Cece were still with Jim Baker and the PTL Show. Everyone that has been mentioned here are absolutely legendary. We thank God for their gifts.

@chanellovely283611 ай бұрын
Yes its called innovation. People especially "church" folk, usually dont react well to what they arent used to but this way of singing was a different style it was upbeat and less "churchy" sounding. Praise God Commissioned would go on to do great in gospel and Fred Hammond even as a solo gospel artist. Thank God for people like Dr. Mattie Clark, who knew great talent when she saw it and wanted God to be glorified through whomever was willing to use their musical gift for His glory.

Oh my...thank you for posting this❤. I use to be Commissioned publicist when they were with Benson Music Group...Dawkins & Dawkins, and Marvin Sapp era. That Fred Hammond is some kind of writer. He composes hits, using the scriptures. Thank you for the WestA full-house flashback memory! Jason White was the Music Director in that era.

I love the Benson music era. There were so many great gospel albums and compilations released on Benson in the early 90s. I used to make gospel DJ mixes on cassettes and most of the songs I put in my mixes were from Benson. Dawkins and Dawkins was my favorite gospel duo in the mid and late 90s. So many memories.

They actually came to sing for the COGIC Annual Midnight Musical that was held after this service across from here at the Dixon-Myers Hall. It was an annual ticketed sold-out event that featured many national gospel artists. I believe Dr. Clark wanted that crowd to hear them before the big musical.

This was a very innovative time for Gospel music. You had Commissioned, Take 6, and Bee Bee & Cee Cee Winans with a more contemporary sound… Church people were not really ready at first and didn’t receive it. I wish it would have stayed at that level of Contemporary, because now it’s gotten so Contemporary you can’t tell Gospel music from Secular music or easy listening…. Now it all kinda sounds the same. Not to mention how they perform and dance on stage like they are at a night club…. It’s really changed for the worse.
