- Who the hell dont play Maze Featuring Frankie Beverly at the cookout?
Maze, also known as Maze Featuring Frankie Beverly and Frankie Beverly & Maze, is an American soul band founded by Frankie Beverly in Philadelphia in 1970. Under its original name Raw Soul, the band relocated to San Francisco and was introduced to Marvin Gaye. Gaye took the group on the road with him as one of his opening acts, and in 1976, he suggested that they change their name from Raw Soul. Maze released 9 Gold albums from 1977 to 1993.[1] Their well-known songs include "Happy Feelin's", "While I'm Alone", "Golden Time Of Day", “Southern Girl”, "The Look in Your Eyes", "Joy and Pain", "Before I Let Go", "We Are One", "Back in Stride", "Can't Get Over You" and "The Morning After". The band has maintained a large and devoted following.
2024 Maze Featuring Frankie Beverly Should Be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Can I Get a Witness?
You got a witness ☝🏽
@@ShaShaLuva414 Touche' (smile)
Yes indeed.
@@yvonnewallace9206 Touche' (smile)
Most definitely!
They are very underrated in the music industry. Their songs are about real love; not lust.
They have NEVER received the accolades they deserve!!!! They have never been anything but SOLID GOLD with loyal fans.
very true
They never received the recognition they deserve . I love me some maze !!!
Yessss will listen to them over quite a few others
Who else out here in dese skreets still selling out concerts CONSISTENTLY.... without releasing any new music in 27 years?
(....I’ll wait)
🤣🤣🤣🤣 you will be waiting! I think this "pandemic" finally stopped their show.
Nobody👏👏👏💖
You Better Speak
Nobody. But Maze. ❤❤❤❤😂
Listening To Maze for 40 Years..... SMOOTH is the Best word for his Voice
These guys deserve a full episode.
Ikr
You are absolutely right. And hopefully by someone who actually Maze history. This person didn't do Maze justice.
Reach out to e the Grio or BET great companies
Beyoncé ruined Before I Let Go. She should have left well enough alone. You just don’t remake a masterpiece.
i agree. I dont like that version.
Yessss she did. Its pure 🗑🗑🗑🗑🗑🗑. Pissed me and my husband off 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
antoinec822 you told no lies!!!!!!
@@TMYPiscesSunandMoonRising5548 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I thought Vivian Green's version was good.
Their music is so timeless you cant tell what decade the hits were made!
Caught up with Maze in Florence, SC in March of 2019, what a performance. No dancers, no theatrics just flat out musicians just jamming for nearly 2 hrs. These young Kats need to see how a 70 plus yr old is still putting in the work. If you have never seen Maze it will be money well spent.
Maze will always live forever in the BLACK Community, but it will always live in this 60 year WHITE man's heart and Soul. Some of the best R & B music ever made. THEY JUST DON'T MAKE MUSIC LIKE THIS ANYMORE.
You keep on jamming nothing like good music for the soul 👍
I remember my wife and I having a disagreement over something (something means non of your business) and she ask me. Well what are we going to do, and I went and played "We Are One". And I went to bed. It takes a team to have any kind of relationship. Never forget that FACT.
Eric Collins awww that’s so beautiful that song said it all peace and love ❤️
I'll always and forever be a die heart fan of Frankie Beverly!! He has such a soulful sounding voice❤
Frankie Beverly and Maze was the 1st concert that I have ever been to in the late 80s I was about 17 at the time , I was in the front row, and this guy tried to kiss Frankie's hand 😂, he wouldn't shake any men's hand's the rest of the night 😂
I stopped watching the Grammy Awards because they’ve never honored Frankie Beverly featuring Maze.
They did once. I think it was a lifetime achievement award.
Robert Gregory That usually means, “We’re just going to give you one since you’re family”, so to speak. I’m talking about winning in a category against other groups. I never saw that. I think part of it was because they didn’t know what category to put them in.
@@pisces363 point taken.
@Tommy Smith, Maze Should be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Can I Get a Witness?
@Robert Gregory, Really? Cool.
They need a unsung episode frfr along with the SOS Band
and slave!
@@commondiversity5375 Hell yes!!!!
I've been waiting on a SOS Band unsung for years now. So many good songs.
They had one.
Does Unsung still come on?
Maze ,Confunkshun, Lakeside, three of the baddest, and funkiest bands that ever picked up a instrument, Long live old school music
Preach 👍
Joy and Pain was played as a single......it was constantly on the radio they may not have a super chart success but their fan base crazy in the black community
When we come together and support something. It is magical
Thank God for the Essence Festival
Maze would always close every year
New Orleans Natives love them some Maze one of My Favorite songs is (We are one) All Black People need to hear this song in particular
⚜New Orleans❤Frankie Beverly & Maze🎸🎹🎶
Amoni C. Essence Festival hasn’t been the same since Maze stopped closing it out.
Damn, it’s been 43 years since their debut album entitled Maze came out. It included: “Happy feelings”, “You”, “Look at California”, and “Lady of Magic” to name a few. Actually, that was an album that you could play the whole thing, both sides because it was that good. It was significant because it was one of my first album purchases; I was 14 years old. I remember my friends laughing at me for buying that album, but I didn’t care. 43 years later, I still have that album and I still wouldn’t care if anyone laughed at me for owning it, for sure. Thank you Mr. Beverly and your group Maze for some fantastic music through the years!!!
Wait they laughed at you for buying a maze album?
Von The Stampede Yeah, but we were all young teens in 1977 and everybody was into Parliament/Funkadelic. If you veered out of that realm, you were considered weird and ridiculed. That is until we all grew older and were able to appreciate real musicianship
@@misterb7070 ahhh I understand
I have been to more Frankie & MAZE shows than any other group or single artist! I simply adore them! I even have a copy of their concert, Live in Habersham, so I can have a MAZE concert whenever I want! They're music catalog is timeless! Once at a concert here in Atlanta, Frankie said, that God had asked him, :Do you want the awards or the reward?" No, the music wield has not recognized them as their diehard fans like me know that they should've after all of this time! The shame for this is on them! But for people that love them like me, ain't NO band that's still around has or can do this any better! May God continue to shine HIS divine light on y'all, Frank! I will always love you!❤
We played "Golden Time of Day" at my mom funeral in 97'. She loved her some Frankie Beverly..
RIP to your Mom
@@VonTheStampede Thank you so much for that.
Sent her to heaven right! Awesome
❣️
@@grettapaisley2077 yes
I listen to Frankie Beverly and maze on a daily basis. Frankie had that voice that will NEVER be duplicated i often wondered when he would hit those long notes while holding a run for example on feel the feeling when he say's " FROM NOW OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!! I'm like this dude can sang, not sing, anybody can do that...it's so many hits that dude didn't mention. The one's I've been jam-n too is look at California. And reason. On the beginning of look at California you can tell Frankie has a gospel background... The music will never get old ✌
ThE BEST GROUP ON THE PLANET😘❤😋
Really?
Earth Wind & Fire🔥
Nicole The temptations. But Maze could possibly be second
Love them but got to go with earth wind and fire
@tracy Smith
I saw Chicago & EW&F live two years ago and they played live. I was ten rows from the stage. I love Maze and have seen them live but there catalog don't come close to EW&F.
The baddest band in the land💯
YES you can take that to the bank
You know that’s right
My future kids will definitely be hearing Frankie Beverly & Maze in the house like I did.
Yes indeed!!!
MAZE and Frankie don't need love from the "Industry", they "Can't Stop the Love"!!!
I always have wondered why these guys have never received the accolades they deserved. Frankie is a damn good writer producer arranger and he strokes a mean rhythm guitar. And his music is a smooth flow of genius.classics like we are one can't get over you lady of magic and I want to feel that I'm wanted and the morning after will always be among my favorites.
Good question I have no idea I'm like tv one,bet give thse guys some type of award
I've been rocking my MAZE concert "white fitted hat, pants, blazer and T's" since the 70's ... it's the way we respectfully pay homage to Marvin Gaye's greatest contribution to the soulful world of music
“Live in New Orleans” was and forever will be the s**t. There’s not too many bbqs that went without playing Maze featuring Frankie Beverly/Frankie Beverly featuring Maze.
Facts
Beyoncé shouldn’t have messed with that song!.
Absolutely
Same here
Especially with my family in the 80s and 90s
Then went on and bought the CD at the music store, I keep that thing in heavy rotation
I was born in 69 and as a youth I knew no black American families soul albums were complete without Frankie Beverly and maze. He was a staple n hour family get-togethers and cookouts (his
music) was all on point, his music always sound so warm and togetherly like. TRUE soul music
Frankie Beverly Maze a legend 🎼❤️🌹🥇🏆
I love Frankie Beverly and Maze! Hate I never got see them in concert!❤️
Glenda Arrington
It’s not to late!
I mean this is more than a wish or a fantasy. I mean this is an urgency rent-gonna-be late type situation. This is your natural right/duty to sing to the top of your lungs when he pushes the mike in the air for us to carry the vibe.
(Chile... don’t get your black card revoked)
Such an underrated group!! Love love the feel of this group. Feel good music
Agreed
Frankie and Maze, never received there flowers. This group is awesome and amazing. True talent no one can beat that Silky Smooth voice and live instruments. I have seen them in concert at least 5 times
Their music transcends generations in my family. My parents are in their 80s, I'm 53, and my kids range from 19 to 30 years old and we all can get together and dance to this music. What other artist's music does that?
Thank you Frankie for giving me an escape for some hope, joy, peace and acceptance of ups and downs. I Thank God for you.❤
I love me some Frankie Beverly i am a Frankie Angel
I see him everytime i can !!!
Classic songs that are magical. The billboard charts mean nothing and are not a measure of their success.
Frankie Beverly and Maze, The Ojays, and The Whispers are a short list of phenomenal entertainers that dedicated themselves to simply making good music that sounds just as good now as it did fifty years ago. An amazing accomplishment, now the world can cross over to them!
So underrated 🤩🤩🤩🤩
I have to be honest 57 years old born and raised in St Louis it's always Maze and Isley Brothers just like Forrest Gump said in the movie Forrest Gump that's all I got to say about that St Louis in the house later y'all
Yes! I remember when they used to open for Ashford and Simpson, and Chaka. Waaay back!
My absolute favorite group, been loving them since my dad introduced me to their music at the age of 8. I'm now 50 and to this day still go the their shows❤️❤️❤️
loved this group: i loved we'er one, morning after, just because, joy and pain those are my favs.
My mom and dad play they songs when they on the grill
Mornin After and While Im Alone are my favorites. Listen to both once or twice a day 🥰🥰🥰
Cant Get Over You is my favorite. I tried to loose myself in song, but the ties are much to strong.
Love them thank, good band,we love them here (Louisiana)! That's our guys!
I met frankie Beverly in 2018, I was his waitress at the restaurant in the hotel he was staying in while there for a concert, he gave me a 55$ tip, we took a picture also, nice man!
Love Maze have seen them live many times!!!! He and band gives you all !!!! SO SO underrated !!!
Not just touring, Still HEADLINING to this day.. to be accurate
My moms jam. Turn into my jams now💃💃💃💃💃
This video had some great information about Frankie Beverly and Maze, that I did not know, thank you for posting those very interesting facts, with the entertaining videos of the group!👍
Anytime and thanks for watching
One of the greatest bands one of my favorites
Frankie Beverly and Maze are one of my favorite groups. I never get tired of hearing and dancing to their music!!!
I just love all the hard work he done he should have got all the awards they give them to the wrong people like he say he didn't worry about it is so unfair I listen to him every day frankie you are the best than all the rest
M A Z E is my favorite Band.
Frankie is one of my Top 5 Favorite Singers.
9 Gold Albums.
The fact that they only have two #1 records(Back in Stride and Can’t Get Over You) is beyond ridiculous.
This is why we need BET, Centric and other black outlets. To pay homage and respect to our legends when others won’t.
You are right. We need outlets to respect this legendary artist especially to those who don't know.
Yesssssss brother yesssssss. Hey it's Rosa.
YOU ARE SO RIGHT, SO MANY HITS THAT WE LOVED WERE NEVER RECOGNIZED, BUT YOU CAN BEST BELEIVE EVERYTIME THE HIT TOWN (DETROIT) ITS A SELL OUT😎
Yessss beautiful voice and music
You pass up core members on the original band. IE Bassist Robin Duhe. I agree with another comment. Don’t do these like so many awards platforms. They deserve at FULL unsung episode
My favorite 70s group Maze featuring frankie beverly. #happyfeelings 😎😎😎
I love Maze featuring Frankir Beverly ❤❤❤❤
I believe every car with a good system, should be required to only pull up playing Frankie Beverly and Maze! Peace!
Great group that made smooth dancing music! Their music filled many hearts! I bought their first album as a young teen and still have it in the basement collecting dust! Maze will never be forgotten!
❤Love Frankie & ❤Maze
I love that song before I let you go.
Before I let go and Joy and Pain...da bomb...
I hope one day they relieve unreleased tracks and just put them out for the world to hear
This is still my most favorite R&B group. Their music is classic and is still highly played in my playlist.
My favorite song of Maze is Reasons..luv luv luv that song
He got it now yes lord h e earn that i was crying and crying still cryi ng i love that man
Great musician and band 👌🏾
One of the greatest artist and bands of all time they don't need huge record sales to sell out concerts they speak to our community
Been building my old school Playlist at work, the handful of slaps I have from Maze stay on repeat.

LEGENDARY BLACK SUPER BAND, Respect Frankie Beverly, Put these dudes in the ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME.
The classic of all time Maze and Frankie Beverly for twenty seven years plus for me years of unforgettable memories and experiences God bless him and his crew they are timeless 💯💯💯💯💯🤗🙏🏾💕
Very underated. Went to see them a few times. Always loved maze since I was 12 years old 😊
Frankie Beverly and Maze concerts always seem like a big family reunion full of dedicated and loyal fans. Only 1 Frankie B and numerous Maze band members. A loyal and dedicated Fan for over 35 years. Frankie B coming to Chicago in September. Name other artist that have not recorded any new songs and still performing as a headliner.
I absolutely love Frankie Beverly's smooth voice!!!
I may be young but I APPRECIATE HIM AND MAZE TO THE UTMOST. We love your Frankie love from NYC. Def a legendary group that deserves WAYYYYY more but we recognize he is in it for the love and that is what matters the most.
There is a black & white video of a concert they did in 1976 when they were youngin's under their former name Raw Soul on CZcams
Those cats were & still are some serious soulful musicians
No wonder Marvin Gaye's sister just had to turn them on to Marvin
Young Buck, whatcha know about Frankie Beverly and Maze?😅😄😃🤣. I love this unsung video. Thank you for sharing.👍👍
The band’s original lineup was Frankie , drummer Joe Provost, bassist Robin Duhe, guitarist Wuane Thomas, and percussionists McKinley “Bug” Williams and Roame Lowry.
Sooo timeless yesss
One of the baddest bands period!!!
Lovely Inspiration is one the greatest songs ever made!!!! Thank you Frankie ❣
How in the world could this LEGENDARY group be considered Unsung??
To All Y'all That Miss Maze in Concerts in the 1970s, 1980s & 1990s . Y'all Better Get the DVD Maze LIVE! in Concert.
The UNCLE😅😄😃🤣😂🤣😃😄😅
Roame Lowry is a beast on those congas
I love this group forever!👍
Nobody Like Them! Love them and still purchasing Their Music and it's my Traveling Music too!
Thank you Maze and Frankie Beverly! Stay Strong!!!
🎉
The reason that Maze did their first live album in New Orleans is that we were early fans of Maze from the beginning.
Saw them three times in Hammersmith Apollo London in the 80s brilliant brilliant brilliant they jammed and entertained start to finish with the encore joy and pain taking the roof off great memories.
I saw them last month they were absolutely amazing 😍
Yes the band is still touring, just attend a concert the one more time Tom Joyner concert with Al B Sure, Kem and Maze featuring Frankie Beverly It was very nice 👍🏾 had a great time😍💕.....
I saw that concer in Charlotte N.C.
The Live in LA is my all time favorite album. I listen everyday on the Metro. I get asked all the time, who are you listening too 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾. I have spread the Maze machine 🥰🥰
Saw them 5 times and they were great everytime. Their Inspiration LP is a classic and my favorite of all of them! I can listen to it all day.
