Wow...Fred is a true worshipper. It's refreshing to see him shine amongst a dim light. I like Rubin but I feel as if he has some more maturing to do in the Lord. Thank you Fred for being an example of worship for all.
FATHER IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST THANK YOU FOR OUR LIFE, HEALTH, STRENGTH AND A STRONG MIND THANK YOU FATHER FOR USING US AS YOUR VESSEL WALKING TESTIMONIES ~diamondintherough~ ALSO THANK YOU LORD GOD FOR ALL YOUR PRAISE SINGERS WHO REALLY LOVE YOU NOT JUST PLAYING AND MAKING MONEY AMEN!
Fred Hammond could create his own arrangement of The Sesame Street song and make it SOUND INCREDIBLE and have you feel blessed after hearing it! He's so anointed & seasoned in Christ. You can see him try to throw Ruben some runs, and Ruben missed them, more than likely from nerves. But Fred just filled it in himself and kept right on going! Phenomenal arrangement, and they BOTH sound beyond phenomenal, along with the entire choir. Just WOW.
@DutchessAMS LOL! Amen! I love that you said, "Please don't anybody get sensitive about Jesus being The Master." Jesus is most definitely The Master. I'm learning as time goes by, how angry and confrontational folks can get when presented with the Truth. And Christ is the Truth. Be blessed everyone.
@FunkMan53 Yeah, yeah my thoughts exactly! Fred has learned from "the masters"! Fred knows well how to combine genius musicality with his love for Jesus.
Ps: And pleeeease don't anybody get sensitive about Jesus being The Master (capitals) ;)
I am a Fred head. It is a pleasure to witness the love of Jesus thru Fred's melody. I wish one day to met him and just say thank you. He has taught me to worship Jesus Christ and to love him thru service and music.
since Pres. Obama is so outraged over "faux" homophobia in [the] Black community & Black churches, why does he so ardently seek and assume their electoral support on every opportunity ? Since it outrages him so, perhaps in order to allow him to maintain his character & integrity, the "Black Community" should offer it's objectionable, homophobic support to a more reasonable and balanced candidate come 2012- just a very short time from now ! Is there any other group he snubs more than Blacks ??
I started listening to Fred in 1997. God continue to bless him. His music has encouraged me to hold on to God. I 14yrs old when I actually started wanting to listen to him.
it's the same 5 haters giving dislikes...maybe they are searching for fred flintstone or something. Fred has set the bar for gospel music by the anointing of Jesus Christ!
BIG DEAL IF REUBEN IS A SECULAR ARTIST....MANY SO CALLED GOSPEL SINGERS ARE IMMERSED IN SINFUL PRACTICES....I LOVE HIP HOP (HARDCORE) NONE A OOOHNU NUH PRAY TO JEHOVAH FERVENTLY & SINCERELY LIKE ME. HE SEEMS TO BE MORE HOLY THAN KIRK FRANKLIN - HE BEHAVES MORE GENTLEMANLY (DOESN'T USE GANGSTA SLANG WORDS LIKE KIRK FRANKLIN & OTHERS OF COURSE - WHO SEEM TO BE CONFUSED WHICH DIRECTION THEY WANNA GET TO GOOD OR EVIL) REUBENS DEMEANOR IS THAT OF A GENTLEMAN.
Reuben is also a gospel artist. And maybe ur judging, maybe ur not. I'm just saying that it seemed u were comin off hard on him by saying "he can only offer what he knows" as if to say Reuben because he has sung about things outside the Kingdom, doesn't know the things of God
Beautiful song....gives me goose bumps. They should do an album together. It's like will downing & Luther Vandross together. Jesus is Love.....nothing tops that.
This is what happens when secular ppl sing with the ppl of God, they can only attribute what they know(of course he would throw in some secular stuff in there, YUCK!) Fred H, Commissioned will always be one of my fav groups...this is where I am "Just to be close 2 Him" I NEED HIM & CAN'T IMAGINEEE HOW LIFE WOULD B WITHOUT HIM ♥♥
@Sugabear1976 u dont know what his relationship w/ God is like so you cant judge him like that.not every1 can do gospel cuz its a CALLING like every other ministry. not every1 is called to that. & how else can you reach those outside of the Kingdom? cant get em all by staying in the "gospel" arena, you gotta get out 2 reach the masses! u dont know how many ppl came to this vid 2 c the "secular" artist and ended up getting blessed, that never wud have come if it was simply the gospel artist Fred
@gimmee411 I didn't judge him! I stated the truth, he IS a secular artist, & he can only attribute what he knows, HOW IS THAT JUDGING? I never addressed his heart nor did I say any1 was going 2 hell, DO U UNDERSTAND WHAT JUDGING IS? If I'm a doctor I can't offer ppl a disease 2 help them, I have 2 give them medication. Jesus NEVER offered ppl things of the world IN FACT He speaks against it. U reach the masses by offering the truth, the truth sets them free not LIES dressed up smh
@Sugabear1976 now days ppl seem to not understand what judging is. To judge someone if to make an assmption based on something you do not know; however if you are speaking truth it is not judgement is is mere fact. Fact Ruben is a secular artist and the Bible ask what does the light and darkness have in common, Fact we are to come from among them and be ye seperate. Fact we are to CRY LOUD AND SPARE NOT. Fact the people are offended by truth, but without out offense there would be no change.
Love this video and what they did with the songs. What I don't like, though it's common, is to notice when they -performers- are lip singing/syncing. Spark goes out the window the most when Fred puts his bottle down & not fast enough. Sry for the down low ppl, props still though
@cem65305 /Right I think I know what you mean. which is why in the begining i thought maybe it's just a video to audio error. But on this video when the meter hits 2:52 (you can click here = 2:50 = to see it good -if it's blue-) Notice> fred hammond puts the bottle of water down moving his mouth completely away from the mic and none of that made any difference to "his singing".. about it being live we well I can't say anything to that since I wasn't there... I would love to be wrong here though
This was a live recording and the majority of the vocals were probably used for the audio track that is heard on the CD and DVD. However in that particular instance and throughout the recording, Fred is such a believer in operating in the spirit of excellence that I'm certain they went back in the studio and did all kinds of overdubs, vocally and instrumentally. It does not take away from the presence of Holy Spirit in the house and all over the recording that night.
- 'A Closer Walk' - Somethin' 'Bout Love - Fred Hammond (2004) 0:00-3:06
- 'Draw Nigh' (reprise) - The Spirit of David - Fred Hammond & Radical for Christ (2006) 3:06-5:28
- 5:28-end - New - I researched & don't think this is previously recorded
Also check out Ruban's 2004 Gospel album 'I Need an Angel'. He remakes several Gospel classics, plus new stuff. The duet with Fred, 'We Have Not Forgotten', is pretty tasty!
@yaztaz101 Yeah he got groove, but I don't think anyone is consistant enough for me to label them the best. Fred has been known for some real strong grooves, I can say that there's nothing I'm really disappointed by with him. THIS bad boy though....wow....man what was that KEYBOARD player on!?!!?!??!!?!? Ever made that 'lemon face' before??? It's that face you make when you hear somethin that's like....'eeeewwwwww!!!'
@yaztaz101 oh nah man, it wasn't in the video. I'm talkin about when the keyboard player busted out the synth, it kinda makes your face go "eeeeewwwww"....aka lemon face
God is so good. You people don't know me from the next but I sit here crying, feeling filled with love and feeling loved and I know it's God. Thank you for posting this and thanks to the artists that touched me this day.
How awesome is our God when He lives and dwell inside a true worshipper like these and they pour it out to and for Him. Praise on my brothers and sister. To God be the glory. I LOVE it.............
You can tell in the beginning of this song Ruben Studdard was getting caught up in the moment, just being next to a gospel legend Fred Hammond....Yea I would have the same reaction if I was on stage doing the same thing.
This cd "Somethin Bout Love" is hot! Everytime I listen to this cd I feel the love of God. It makes me want to fall in love with God over and over again!
2:00 nice little solo, 2:26 alright, 2:35 c'mon choir, 3:02 CHOIR CHORD, 3:05 OMGGGGGGGG, 3:08 let me break it down! AMAZING arrangement there. I love everything about it.
I simply love this song....this is another one of Fred's songs that will be a part of my wedding music.......The bridal party will march in on this song. Fred, may God continue to cover you in his favor and His anointed. For you are Anointed for Ministry. Luke 4:18
Look, I know people put a lot of crap up here for businesses and get rich quick schemes, but this is an opportunity that could totally change your life!

Ok tburse let me correct u on that hair situation the bible does not forbid n I guess u forgot god came to this earth n died for the old beliefs n brought new that is the reason y god came so our sins can be forgiven n so that we wouldn't have to follow the same old beliefs freds hair is not gonna stop his connection wit god at all

You can tell in the beginning of this song Ruben Studdard was getting caught up in the moment, just being next to a gospel legend Fred Hammond....Yea I would have the same reaction if I was on stage doing the same thing.

I simply love this song....this is another one of Fred's songs that will be a part of my wedding music.......The bridal party will march in on this song. Fred, may God continue to cover you in his favor and His anointed. For you are Anointed for Ministry. Luke 4:18
