V.Keys Meets Commissioned 

I don't think y'all understand how much WORK was put into this masterpiece! The MIX alone is truly amazing..... the keyboard drums sound like a human acoustic player. Yeah, Vaughn is a REAL Commissions fan

Brother, you just justified RU-vid's existence. Real talk..............

Being from Detroit, knowing these guys personally and having played for them... I'm so proud to hear this!! They are so deserving of this spotlight!!!! This is absolute 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Can't stop listening bring back memories of my Christian brother Richard

They don't make music like this no more. This is MY FAVORITE gospel group or any group of all time. Thank you for the tribute.

This guy wasn't even born yet!...When Commissioned came out in "1984"...The creation of this piece absolutely blows my mind!...Phenomenally, Ingenious is only a few adjectives I can describe this re-creation, and reinventing of Commissioned...

Yes, I didn't realize at the time what Commissioned meant to gospel. I didn't know how much I loved them until my church sister told me that Commissioned was the only gospel group in which I had all of their tapes and CDs.

It’s been 4 years and I’m still jamming this on the regular. This is timeless music.

It amazes me how much I listen to this. Glory to God and thank you, sir.

Duuuuuudde.. I grew up on Commissioned, and if this ain't the coldest thing I've heard since them.. smh. You need to be slapped for this bro!! Unbelievable!!

Great job. This group's music ministered to me when I first gave my life to the Lord. I'm still blessed by their music.

OK--just sat and watched this video with Noel Hall. I'm FLOORED by this guys GIFTEDNESS! His INTEGRITY to the original songs while contributing something SO FRESH and CURRENT is AMAZING! All these songs take me back to my childhood! I get all the same feelings I had as child when listening to this guy. I think he was barely born when I was a Commissioned JUNKY! V Keys is proof that this generation of musicians is a force to be reckoned with!!! Thank you!!!

This V. Keys sent me into a whirlwind of emotions because each song, I can remember what was going on in my life at that particular time, then I go and listen to some old school Dawkins and Dawkins and I'm good for the day. Thanks Vaughn, great composition. ❤

Commissioned best move ever would be to get this guy and take him on tour with them. This cat is amazing, so the truth it is amazing just sitting and listening to him recreate in the same aspect their music as was then. He is simply great. He makes their songs come alive again.

I got saved in my twenties and commissioned kept me focused. I am 57 now and still got my commissioned cds. I listened to take your burdens to the Lord two days ago. Wow! Timeless music.

Brother killed killed this, I'm a commissioned fan all day u did this right!!! Yes sir!!!!!

the Influence of the Commission Men is beyond measure thank God for them. didn't know what was making me live under my headphones back then, but know i can truly say it was God using these men to minister to my soul. the music that kept me saved!!!!

LISTEN!!!!!!!!! When he sang "again". Stellar

2023, humbled before the Lord. Praising God's Glory with this man's talent even after 5 years. Commissioned is a blessing! Where are you now..? Praising the Lord God thank you for the gifts! 🔥🙏✝️🙌

You just REPLAYED the soundtrack to my life!!!

Don't understand how anyone can give this a thumbs down...This brother is extremely talented and gifted. I'm a Keyboard, Bass and Sax player and also a big fan of Commissioned. I know hard much effort and time/dedication it took to do this. Not only did he nail their songs but also put his only little twist on it. Well done!!! Brother definitely deserves a major production deal or MD position or something...

Maaannn...Here I am thinking that I was the only one who loved Commissioned this much. Dude...thank you. Great work.

Ridiculous! Commissioned is my favorite group period dude ... and you ripped a hole in this tribute! Salute V!!!!!

In awe of this performance. So glad I found your music. Unbelievable!!

Fantastic performance!! Commissioned was one of the shining light groups of Gospel music. I also agree that they were so anointed with top musicianship and the smooth vocals. Vaughn you got this down. You did them proud!

To V. Keys: Doc, let me tell you this right now bru. You are ONE-BAD-BROTHA👍👍👍!! Dude, you have accomplished something that EVERY hardcore Commissioned-musician fan has probably dreamed of doing but just didn't have the boldness to do! Doc, I have been a fan of Commissioned since 1984. I have NEVER seen nor heard ANYONE 'singlehandedly' produce such a FLAWLESS tribute to Commissioned in such an impeccable fashion bru! The ENTIRE video should be televised on TV One or BET man! I wish that there was a way every member of Commissioned could view this video.

Vaughn V Keys Henry: I could throw my shoe @ u LOL please allow me 2 say U STR8 NAILED IT DOC NO DOUBT ABT IT. I cant stop playing your brilliant video of paying true homage 2 THE BAD BOYZ OF DETROIT....THE 1 THE ONLY....COMMISSIONED

This dude, man I'm lost for words... Well done man :)

He is very talented just to be only 24 years old. You're like Stevie Wonder playing all those instruments. I don't like just anybody redoing Commissioned but Vaughn is the man. Michael Brooks and Fred Hammond created some of the greatest music ever. Much Respect!!

My Brother, never has there a more fitting tribute to this timeless group, my love of Commissioned is personal, I got saved in 1986, at a very turbulent time in my life, my world was turned upside down due to a imploding marital situation. I was listening to Michael Matthews radio show one Sunday morning at work and heard this group whose music and ministry spoke to the core of my issues, i immediately became a devoted follower because every song spoke healing to everything I was going thru. I love traditional gospel, but when I was"in the world" I played bass and also loved upbeat contemporary bass lines and hearing Fred play like he played to the message of their music won me forever, being a Detroit native as well sealed the deal for me. i often rode the Woodward bus to work with earphones on plugged into a WALKMAN cassette playing any or all of the songs you just honored. My greatest moment was being at Wonderland Music across from Northland Mall with a friend, when the entire group walked in and I found out my friend grew up with the entire group, needless my jaw was on the floor , but my spirit soared, this will always be the greatest gospel group ever put together, hands down. I still tear up listening to them. Thank God for Commissioned!!!! Pastor Michael Smith Life Enhancement Christian Ministries

Young Brother, you don't know how much you bless me with this tribute to one of the greatest gospel groups that wasn't afraid to mention The Name of Jesus in their songs, I give God the glory for allowing them to come forth when I was going through. May God bless you to reach your age group for Jesus, thanks for your efforts to bring this to Commissions fans who love Love Jesus. Someone need to pass this on to Fred, he lives in Texas. Bless you brother.

I'm back again in 2022 and just as floored as the first time I heard this arrangement! Shweeeew!

For the 21 people who hated on this anionted musician, shame on you. God bless you my brother. Continue to let God use you

Somebody MAKE SURE FRED SEES THIS!!!! PLEASE! IF YOU KNOW HIM, MAKE SURE HE SEES THIS!

Seee-cah-ret Plaaace! oh yes!!!!

2 months since i found this video and I've watched it nearly everyday. I just can't get over how good it is. The melody, harmony, the power, the funk...Some of the best music ever recorded!!!

We get it! This man is blessed beyond measure! He is drinking from his saucer because his cup has overflowed!

dude, I can't stop watching this.. omg

JUST FINISHED WATCHING THE ENTIRE VIDEO......SPEECHLESS #TearsOfJoy

Man.. Don't understand why this don't have 1 million views!!

Hey..... Can I get away w/callin this gospel crack....cause its Dope?!?!!! lol Can't get enough of it just yet!!! 😂😂😂

V KEYS THANK YOU FOR THE TIME WARP!! I GREW UP AS A MUSICIAN WITH THIS GOSPEL GROOVIN!! WE PLAYED THIS AND IT WAS FROWNED ON BY OUR ELDERS YET THIS DID NOT REBUKE US TOO MUCH!! LOL!! GOD REST ALL OF THEIR SOULS!!

That transition after I'm Gonna Love You

I'm blown away wow I was at the commissioned reunion live in Detroit. Wow great job. Father bless him 100 fold

Brother, this is an amazing tribute!!! OH MY WORD!!! I'm the biggest Commissioned fan I know. Commissioned is the soundtrack of my life. You nailed it!!! You truly honored the spirit of Commissioned with a great contemporary flair. In my honest opinion, Commissioned is the greatest contemporary gospel band ever...hands down. Thanks for this video. I'll be listening to this on repeat for a while and sharing it with my musical friends, especially the younger generation. God bless you.

BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO!!!! V my family just heard a loud sound in our house. It was my jaw hitting the floor during and after your tribute to my favorite group and any one else who was blessed and fortunate to come across Commissioned in the mid-80"s. Please don't leave us hungering and thirsting to hear more commissioned tributes from you. I have a mini list for you: Ordinary just won't do, No more Loneliness, Love isn't Love, Learn to Pray ,King Of Glory. I know that I am being greedy but I just want to hear your the fullness of what is on your musical easel and sound landscape on your renditions for these songs. God Bless you Greatly Vaughn VKeys Henry. You did GREAT justice in these renditions. My laptop was smokin'!!! Thank you again young Amadeus.

"You gotta git on up"-4:11...killin it!! Love those Michael Williams accents on the splash!!

The only people in the world that I know who like Commissioned as much as I do are my wife and my in laws. I didn't hear them on the radio a lot, they didn't win a lot of awards, I never heard people talk about them or sing any of their songs but they are TO ME hands down the best group ever PERIOD.

Running Back To You my favorite. So sobering. Love you brother!!!! May many people come to Jesus through your heart for JESUS

My goodness......what memories.Thanks Mr. Henry! It all started as a new believer and a teenager of the 80's.

I should just smack you... Like I am so emotional right now... My childhood just flashed before my eyes in 20 minutes. My uncle Jonathan Dunn introduced me to Commissioned as a child.. And he just introduced me to this video.... Forever a fan... Brilliant job young man

I'm from Detroit and have been following Commissioned since I could remember. You have honored their legacy with a fresh feel yet keeping the integrity of their musicality and passion. Straight up dope sauce! More please! Hope they hear this and are honored.

That we shall behold him mix was dope man but I liked all of it too

This is the coldest thing I've seen in awhile. Wow! Commissioned is my favorite group. You did the music justice in spades!

This tribute is amazing! Commissioned is my favorite group of all time. Thank you for doing this Vaughn!

I'm literally blown away! Tears in my eyes. Wow just wow......Unbelievably incredible!!Bless him Lord💯

Wow! Wow!! Wow!!! An excellent tribute to Commissioned by an exceptional musician!!! More anointing and grace to you. Thank you Commissioned for some unforgettable Word songs.

Can u imagine a brand new album or project frm Commissioned especially with all (6) of original members...insane

This is the sound of " The "New Jerusalem" coming down !!! Praise God!! Put joy in these feet!!

A great one man band tribute to THE GREATEST BAND EVER. My hat is off to you. and for those who haven't heard, Commissioned is coming back, not only touring but also doing new music.

Vaughn V. Keys this is a “ Masterpiece”❗️❗️❗️ Much respect to all of the hard work and hours you put in to create this Masterpiece… 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿💪🏿✊🏿

Man you are a bad boy!!! That's a tribute!!! 👍🏿👍🏿🎶🎶🙏🏿🙏🏿

I certainly hope that Fred Hammond & the rest of COMMISSIONED sees this video. Dude did them justice. Every beat & melody on point.

I know Fred personally and I just shared this video

Hey Vaughn VKeys Henry we listen to this every day and we love it. Great work!!!! Love The Cranford Family.

AMAZING!!!!!! Commissioned is one of thee Greatest Groups of All Time period. This tribute does them justice. Love it!!!!❤️

this has got to be the absolute GREATEST instrumental & vocal tribute to Commissioned EVER COMPOSED!..HANDS-DOWN!!..

Yooo he's playing everything and the drums on the keyboard like they did!! SMH!! and singing tooo!! Bro you are a blessing

Man I know the brothers gotta be trippin over this tribute! V KEYS I'm praying for you always. Thanks for your expression in music.

Yo man, I know members of Commissioned personally. I will be sending this to Fred personally. BTW Mitchell Jones is a Uber driver doing well, they all have families. Parkes Stewart also wrote a lot of the material. Michael Brooks is a pastor that married Lisa Paige of Witness. NICE MAN!

This is excellent. Commissioned has ministered to and planted seeds encouragement, hope and God’s Love in many lives. Please continue, as it obviously your turn magnify the God of Commissioned. Show the same love and encouragement to others that the members of Commissioned did with sooo much humility. Stay close to God. In all your ways acknowledge HIM, and he will direct your path.

Doc, being from the Pontiac/Detroit,Mi area, I thank you for this!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is unreal. Still trying to pick my jaw off the floor. This is so inspiring. God bless you real good.

OMG I was in the kitchen and I heard this playing and I thought this was Commissioned. I've been listening since I was a teenager in the 80's I promise to God I thought this was them. The ENTIRE GROUP! Wow you are tight man!

The fact that you did this is a blessing to me. Bless you.

Greatest Commissioned tribute in history! Well done.

Bruh.... Only Respect. True Commissioned fans appreciate how spot on you have been. Then I gotta give you much props for the stuff you're adding in to differentiate. Its hard to improve on a classic... but my dude, this is pretty close. This needs to be the template for whatever tribute they do for them in the years to come. Thanks for doing this. God Bless

I'm completely blown away and praising God for this video and audio! Praise God for Vaughn Henry.

I know that I am 3 years late, but JESUS!! I just had church in my bed!! Thanks V Keys 🎹

This is 5th time listening to this. Bro you did yo thang.......

Very talented. It takes skill to take Commissioned songs and perform them in a different key and they still sound as good as the original. Then he playing all the instruments and singing. I don't know many people not just that talented, but creative. Excellent work.

I'm sitting at home going CRAZY over this!!! I have never heard of you until now, you are absolutely incredible!! The BEST mash-up of Commissioned songs that I've ever heard! Keep going love! God bless you!

I'm totally loving this....if you attended Commissioned concerts like I did I the 80's & 90's then you can appreciate this😙...thank you sir!!!

Excellent! I Met Parkes Stewart In Rochester NY. Before He Opened For Commissioned Concert, Told me That He Came To Christ Jesus At A Revelation Company Concert That The Late Tony Comer And I (Revelation Company) Ministered In Song In Detroit MI.. Mid Eighties. Later Parkes Joined And Became A Principal Writer For And Singer For Commissioned! God Be Glorified Thanks For Your Glorious Re-Presentation Of Gospel Music According To Commissioned!

I'm literally holding back tears... AMAZING tribute bro! Worthy of one of the GREATEST GROUPS OF ALL TIMES!!! Didn't think these was a bigger Commissined fan than me... we might be neck and neck... lol! This tribute is inspiring bro! Keep up the great work! Bless you!

Dope....thanks for taking us back

Hi every one I wrote to v key that I hope he can get this video to some one close in commissioned that they can see this this not just his tribute it's our tribute as commissioned fans if I could I would do the same thing God bless you brother

It’s 2024 and after 6 years I’m still coming back to jam this video. Vaughn created a masterpiece.

My sisters and i grew up on commision, I appreciate the love for them because they were a different blend of music than i started from and still i could feel the Lord in it....you did an awsome job

That was amazing! Can't nobody touch Commissioned - I mean nobody! They are the G.O.A.T., by far! What do we gotta do to get them back in the studio??? What the world needs now is more Commissioned music!!!

Bro, you literally murdered this. I fill like pulling out all my tapes and CDs of Commissioned now. Wow.

We should ALWAYS honor Christ and thank Him for using these vessels to be a help to us..cause only He is the one Worthy of praise 😉

This is more than I can handle at the moment! I remember just being strung out by the lil clips on Facebook . The whole pie is not for human consumption. This dude will hurt u! Much love!
