Sandals Royal Bahamian Transport Manager Chuck Roberts greets Gospel Music Star Fred Hammond

Gospel music star , Fred Hammond spent Christmas with the folks at Sandals Royal Bahamian checking out of the luxury included resort this past weekend.

Hammond has been active both as a member of the gospel performing group Commissioned, and as a solo artist (currently for Verity Records). He is a multiple Grammy, Dove, Stellar award winner and nominee as a performer, producer and writer.

Hammond produced Make Me Like the Moon, a stirring gospel ballad co-written by Chanté Moore and Kenny Lattimore for their 2006 double-CD of gospel and R&B love songs entitled Uncovered/Covered (released October 10, 2006 by LaFace/Verity/Zomba Music Group). He also performs with Sean Combs on the album.
