FIRST TIME HEARING | Maze - Joy & Pain | REACTION

[@kc718201]

The greatest intro to a song ever. That's not even up for debate.

[@OGXDream]

Def could be debated.

[@kendricklewis4947]

Popa was a rolling stone is in that debate...

YESSSSS!!!! That’s the group sweetie. They don’t get the accolades that they deserve….🎼🎹

[@elisageorge1798]

True. Hey but Frankie Beverly and Maze remain "The Group", in Galveston and Galveston County. Jamming at cook outs,clubs,parks,yard work,chillin,or just whatever! We jamming Maze. Just as fresh as the late 70's,80's . Some of our offsprings gottem on their play list.

[@hamaadjennings]

@@elisageorge1798 #FACTS..They ALWAYS sell out when they come to Houston. No matter how many shows they do

[@patricksterling927]

Really?

[@laticialockleer4929]

That's alright, God has had them throughout the years!

[@laticialockleer4929]

At one of the MANY shows of theirs that I've attended, Frankie addressed their lack of "accolades". I remember him saying that God asked him, "Would you rather have the awards or the reward?" They done far better without awards, but have been richly REWARDED!

[@telliesmith9825]

Can't go wrong with Maze they get played at all the cookouts gathering's everything

[@tolicelawrence461]

YESSSSS ! Notice how Tyler Perry had this song playing in his movie "Madea's Family Reunion ".😂😂😂

Have seen them several times at the Cincinnati Music Fest. Everybody wears white. Outdoors, in the summertime, drinks flowing, smoke in the air, and a sea of white, dancing in the aisle. Epic!!!!

[@shellyj987]

And everybody singing at the top of their lungs! Summer Saturday night concerts at the Carter Barron Amphitheater, Washington DC. Not a soul sitting in the whole place! Everybody dancing and swaying, hands in the air! Screaming Joy and Pain 😎😎

Bro you did it; you pulled one of the classics FASHO! Stay in this groove.

[@andreacaldwell8719]

"YES, YES....YES"!!!! Once you have heard Frankie Beverly and Maze, you will be "transformed forever"!!!! As we a "little older" would say, "Grown Folk" music at its best!!!! Frankie Beverly came out when Inwas in high school and I was "green and immature: to the power and significance of "MAZE" and the spiritual soul and smoothness of this now, legendary group!!! Feel fortunate, Brotha Satori, you became aware of a group, that you will play when you feel happy, a need to celebrate, a time to be alone and reflect and just give you that "grounded and soulful" feeling!!! From live concerts, where you "jump to your feet" on the "first note" , to that road trip, where the sounds take you above the skies, the universal love for Frankie Beverly and Maze is real and pure to the fullest!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎶🎵📻🎙😉 Note: Feel the love with "Southern Girl", "After The Morning", and of course, "Feel What I'm Feeling" !!!!🔥🔥🔥🎶🎵📻🎙

[@Aurabora54321]

Well said, can say no more! That mournful and joyful voice, at once brings a meditative state and endless hope. Songs of love and wisdom. And great philosophy! No joy without pain, life embraces both...

[@andreacaldwell8719]

@@Aurabora54321 "Appreciate you and your kindness and sincere appreciation of Frankie Beverly and Maze!!! I have to say, in our current days, I been clinging to the "real words" and instruments of the great bands and voices of years past... As I said, the vibes of our greats, just take your heart and mind to chapters of your life that had meaning, where dreams were forming and love and unity was a priority. I so,so hope we all make efforts to let these great songs awaken our attitudes to give a hand of hope and gain, unity. God Bless You.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😊

Their whole catalog!

[@eugeniaboone5602]

My Lady of Magic is a one you'll enjoy by Maze also.

[@PaulSmith-ki9dw]

Great music can’t be denied!!!!! Released in 1980 an still goes hard. This group and song are a Force not to be played with! Do yourself a favor, if they are playing anywhere near you it is a show that you won’t forget!

[@gbone1971]

This that cleaning up the house/cookout music. All uncles everywhere...."Whachu know bout da?!"

[@NIKKI_NASH]

This is my FAVORITE song by Maze! It’s such a groove and has a beautiful message. Shout out to whoever requested it! So glad Satori liked it. We were going to have to pull his card if he didn’t 😂. Can’t understand how anyone could dislike this song though 🤷🏽‍♀️. Check out “We Are One” by Maze next. I love that one too.

[@sonna2240]

Thank you! 💗✌🏽

[@chancebrown106]

So blessed to have seen him perform this live about a decade ago, all the while the audience was electric sliding. Black excellence.

[@marksilverman4537]

Their tribute to Marvin Gaye is amazing. It's called Silky Soul. A mashup of Maze and Marvin's signature sound. Pure ear candy....

For a more upbeat song by them check out southern girl.

[@zinarhone7642]

You just feel so good listening to them. Every generation vibes with Papa Frankie and Maze!

[@01chittock]

This is the best of Maze! Never get bored of listening too this! I bought this in commercial street in London in the early 80s city sounds, this is where we would get American import’s . Before the brits would get some amazing black soul junk funk coming through! The bloody BBC were are pain in the arse letting some of the black sounds coming into the U.K.! I would sneak out of bed as a very young girl,and watch soul train. This is where I learned to dance and listen to so much amazing sounds!

You must hear them live, especially this song. I saw them live so many times over the years and was NEVER bored! We know why Marvin Gaye loved them, he got them out there. Shout out to Marvin RIP. Frankie's voice is special. But that intro! Hearing them do that live, so special. Stay on Maze you in for a nice ride.

Nothing to say, get a drink, sit down and shut up, it's a whole VIBE! don't mess it up.

[@LesleyThompson85]

Nothing like this intro...it's genius! I saw them one night in January 1995 at the Fox Theater in Detroit. Imagine this song comes one within the first few measures of the intro, the crowd jumps to their feet and didn't sit down for the rest of the concert. Some people got up and started steppin and ballroom dancing in the aisles. I saw them again that Summer at Chene Park and was hooked. They put on great shows. Every time they came to the Detroit area from 1995 to 2010, I was there and at each concert, the reaction of the crowd was the same. It was like going to the biggest family reunion. Everyone was chill and just vibing to all of their music. No fussing or fighting. Everyone just having a good time. Thanks for reacting to this song. It brings back many great memories. I hope you listen to their catalog. I think you'd enjoy it. Also when you get the chance, check out the live version of this song. You'll see what I mean about the crowd's love for them😁

[@russelbarnes7235]

I've seen a lot of groups in concert, none were any more like their recordings than Maze! Frankie Beverly and his beautiful voice was on par with The Jackson's and EWF for concert vocals. You ,my friend are my favorite reactor. I appreciate your love for my favorite music from the 70s and 80s. Peace.
