"Hey" says the video producer. "I've got this brilliant idea for the opening number on the Commissioned vid. The song's called "Work On Me" right? So we intercut shots of them singing with shots of building sights and HGVs. Good eh?" The seriously sad attempts to spice up live footage, which in itself is rather dull with the band strung out across the stage and just about zilch shots of the audience may not matter if you really want live versions of the six songs on offer. And the group, particularly the mighty-lunged Fred Hammond ooze soulfulness. But it's only the promo video, "Love Is The Way" that holds attention. Better stick with the CD and tell CGI Video Productions that this superlative R&B gospel band deserve a better work than this.
