Fred Hammond joins The DOA Playlist

[@rianrobinson3832]

I agree, D: there is NO Commissioned without Fred 💯

[@andregodfrey3022]

U can say that again!!!!!! Real talk.

[@TheeChurchGuitarist]

I’m a Commissioned Fan all day!!!! But it’s sad that the group that helped a particular generation get thru tough times won’t be making any more music. Thank God i got to witness the ministry in my lifetime! Love You Fred!!!! DOA, this is an incredible resource musicians and artist!

[@TheeChurchGuitarist]

That "What is you doing Now"..... is a major statement!

[@bigtimedrum]

This is a game changer interview , this is why Fred is one of the greats .... Love this .....

[@michaellee3522]

I’m not sure if any other fan is seeing this, but Fred is the glue of the group. He was best friends with Mitchell, he brought in Marvin Sapp, he was brother in laws with Kieth Staten, and he brought Karl in . Fred Hammond is the common denominator. Most importantly he had the record company siding with him.

Sounds like he was the one with the ego

[@robertcowan7229]

@@AlbertMurray-pz1zono, he was the one with the vision. And he’s proven that for decades. If you look at when the Commissioned was successful, and the fact that he was the only one (besides Marvin) to have a successful solo career, it checks out. As for him having an ego, he said himself that the other members all had something he admired and could learn from.

Wow! What a beautifully honest and powerful interview! Full respect! Thank you DOA & Fred ! Amazing!

[@septemberblack2749]

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL STRONG STRONG MESSAGE OF A MAN OF GOD, WHO TRULY DESIRES TO SERVE GOD WITH HIS LIFE.

[@terriharris7971]

Fred Hammond ❤❤❤❤ Full Circle 🙏🏽

[@71croutch]

The washing of feet!!! I got a new level of respect for Fred Hammond!

[@ypww]

I just listened to your best episode yet! Your relationship w/ Fred & knowledge of Commissioned allowed you to ask some of the questions we've always wanted to. Then you listened & let the man talk! I've heard at least 2 other long form interviews w/ him that were good & I appreciated, but this was the most insightful, revealing, & vulnerable. Thx 2 U & Fred for this one!

[@TheDOAPlaylist]

Thank you. This message means everything!!!

[@angelbarrett4477]

7 truly was a monster! That was and still is my fave!❤

[@davidlozano8085]

I am so happy for you Big brotha D. Full circle.. mr. Fred Hammond gives me chills. how insightful and wise he is.

[@cathygarrett8411]

Blessings Mr Hammond 🙏❤️🥰

[@user-ps8xf9kh7x]

WOW WOW WOW!!!!!! @DOA this was ABSOLUTELY one of your BEST interviews to date. Listening to both of you legends is beyond in itself, but, to hear Fred put all the questions into perspective was like sitting at the feet of your favorite uncle listening to him tell great stories and sharing great wisdom and learned experiences. BRAVO!!!! Made me feel like I was that awkward 14 year old kid again. LOVED THIS!!!!!!!! THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU BOTH!!!!!!

[@andregodfrey3022]

EXCELLENT interview...I really admired the way that Fred spoke candidly while maintaining the integral aspect of the conversation

[@Gloria-xz7yk]

❤😢THIS WAS INDEED FRED AT HIS BEST❤❤ THANK YOU FOR YOUR SINCERITY and TRANSPARENCY. I loved Commissioned and remember when your first album came out..FRED IS someone Special and TIME HAS PROVEN IT❤ WE LOVE YOU SIR❤❣️❣️❣️

[@feelinlow7978]

Thank you thank you thank you! Bro this interview is so powerful. Very moving.

[@ypww2001]

Love it. My group!

[@trevormatthews9412]

I can sense the honesty in this interview and hurt this guy went through. Him being true to God made all the difference. Love, forgiveness and faith is key.

[@user-go6wp7ze2r]

Wow what a Incredible Interview, totally awesome thanks for this one DOA.

[@ajjoy7995]

Thank You DOA!!! AWESOME!!!

[@erronwilliams120]

This is very encouraging for me!

[@philwrighttv864]

Great Interview!!!

[@Stankfunkmusic74]

🔥🔥🔥

[@curtiswilliams3241]

DOA you're a comedian. Saw you with Chuck in Inglewood. You need 10 mins on the mic bruh lol

[@albertking1566]

Nothing like hearing the “real”.

[@christianjones5032]

Fred is a real one, the GOAT!

[@Smoothvibes3000]

There is NO Commissioned without Fred Hammond. Fred is a real one.

[@johnwyattiv9592]

Great interview! Guess we aren't getting that Comissioned movie.

[@michaellee3522]

Nope 😢

[@michaellee3522]

Honestly, I think the highs and lows in this interview is the movie.

[@KarenMarieBeyond]

Fred is producing a film. The names of will be changed, but he’s doing a film! I can’t wait for it!

[@septemberblack2749]

ANOINTED TO LEAD❤

[@ShalonnWoodard-ig7ql]

❤

[@debohargrove972]

Fred Hammond is why I still listen to Commissioned!!! There's an intimacy that I experience with the Holy Ghost when he sings. I experience God's Holy presence. Thank you Father God!!!

[@terriharris4036]

❤❤❤

[@davejohnson7583]

I am not going to be nice like everyone I LOVE THESE DUDES TO PIECES commissioned albums where the part of the reason I was able to dry my tears when I went through but it is painfully obvious and it validates what I suspected for the last year after Fred came out on instagram they where jealous of his talents and did not want him to lead the group and it really got bad once he went out and became a legend in his own right and came back not once not twice but seven times and every time they would start and it would fall apart now I know repentance and forgiveness is needed and it needs to go toward Fred period!!!!

[@phieble]

PERFECTLY STATED. 👏👏👏 In another video where Fred told the Commissioned story, he mentioned that Marvin Sapp and his wife came to his house shortly after he left Commissioned and apologized with tears for his part in getting Fred put out and to this day the two are close and the most successful in the group not just for talent because all those guys are phenomenal, but mostly because God looks at the heart and rewards humility and faith over pride, selfishness and unbelief every time!

[@GodupInc]

Awesome interview, GOD has been putting Fred before me and teaching how to becoming better, notes taken❣️

[@arthurrobinson3650]

Thank you DOA a great interview..im a commissioned fan ..by the way im a baseline lover ..who is the best bass player DOA or fred Hammond lol love you brothers

[@victoriagathings3464]

Let it go Brother Fred! We appreciate what y’all Commissioned Officers gave! It was Epic! But I do understand being in Covenant with people who don’t honor Covenant! It’s best to move on! And I’m glad you did!! RFC CAN YOU HELP ME! 😂😂😂😂

[@curtiswilliams3241]

Humility 101

[@mattp2real]

You could truly feel the loss of impact the Commissioned music had when Fred left. 🤦🏽‍♂️ Just didn’t hit the same. The album they dropped in '96 sounded like jodeci mixed with men of standard, and boyz 2men. They sounded like the people they inspired not like themselves.

[@rianrobinson3832]

💯 💯💯

[@Gloria-xz7yk]

Commissioned was NEVER the same when Fred left❤

[@KarenMarieBeyond]

Whoooooaaaa!!!!! 😯 You said a mouth full! “They sound like the people they inspired and not themselves!”

[@KarenMarieBeyond]

This is heartbreaking on soooo many levels. I'm an even bigger Fred Hammond supporter now. I would just like to know who's wife was bold enough to say that to him and then to say GOD SAID IT. SMH.

[@michaellee3522]

Fred says the name of the group members in every other situation , but not on the most important pivotal parts of him leaving the group. He always say “ I ain’t gone name any names”. I wonder why he is protecting this in named member? Can some one help me understand?

[@davidtabala4204]

Even though he won’t say the names, you gotta connect the dots

[@dennisking7469]

Let it go Fred....its done

[@TheDOAPlaylist]

Sorry, bro. But if this is all u have to say, then you missed the whole interview.

[@priscillapaulse8894]

12:44No commissioned without Fred, looking forward to the next album😊
