In this clip, Marvin Sapp spoke about meeting Fred Hammond, and he explained that when Fred was with the gospel group Commissioned, they performed their first concert at Marvin’s home church. Marvin explained that he opened up for them when he was 15, and he added that he was a huge fan of Commissioned at the time. Fred then got in contact with Marvin through his pastor, and Marvin explained that Fred spoke to him about filling a spot in Commissioned, which he turned down because of his career as a pastor. After about 8 months of speaking with Fred, Marvin decided to join Commissioned, and he spoke about how being around the other group members showed him how to be a man. Speaking about the group, Marvin explained how Commissioned was viewed as a 90s R&B group, and he added that a lot of the popular R&B singers of that time based their sound on Commissioned. Marvin added that the six years that he was with the group were the best years of his life.
