In this clip, Marvin Sapp spoke about his time with the gospel group Commissioned, and he explained that he’s surprised at how the group never won awards despite being nominated for many, including Grammys. Marvin pointed out that the Winans family was sweeping the awards, and he joked that you knew you weren’t going to win if you were nominated alongside any of the Winans. From there, Marvin spoke about “King of Glory” being the song that introduced him to the world. Marvin also spoke about his late wife, MaLinda, and he explained that they knew one another since elementary school. Marvin went on to reveal that he knew he wanted to marry MaLinda six months into dating her, and he added that his love for his wife will never go away. Marvin then spoke about what he’s looking for in his next wife, and he explained why he’s not going to stay single for the rest of his life.
From there, Marvin reflected back on his decision to leave Commissioned in 1996. He explains that because he found it difficult to balance his family life with the group, his solo career, acting and preaching, he decided to leave the group to attain a healthy balance in his life at home. From there, he explains in detail the difference between being in a group and being a solo recording artist. As the discussion moves along, he talks about using his name and notoriety as a musician to reach the masses and preach the gospel. He then talks about his best-selling album to date, "Thirsty," before talking about the events leading up the making of a hit single off the record called "Never Would Have Made It." He talks about how the record stayed atop the charts for 47-straight weeks. Which is an accomplishment that not even Michael Jackson or Prince accomplished. Lastly, he gives credit to his wife for encouraging him to make a song out of a moment that was inspired by an impromptu worship session during a sermon.
