The music of R&B/Soul legend Frankie Beverly, originator/founder/leader/chief songwriter of the band Maze, has been the soundtrack of Black culture for decades. The brilliance of Beyonce lent her voice to the remake of Frankie’s classic hit, “Before I Let Go,” thus introducing his music to younger audiences globally.
Beverly’s musical journey spans over 60 years with nine Certified Gold Records, which hit the Billboard Top 10 R&B Albums Chart (three peaking at #1) and nineteen Top 40 R&B singles. Bestsellers didn’t need mainstream pop radio or charts to be successful. Frankie Beverly and Maze have been a top concert draw for years – earning more revenue from ticket sales than records.
In light of the many rumors, Frankie Beverly and Maze have been imitated but never duplicated. No group or band is replacing Frankie Beverly.
“Frankie Beverly is Maze, and Maze is Frankie Beverly”
