How can a Black man in America stay true to his essence and find joy. Frankie has had ups and downs, but he has not changed who he is. Maze was never acknowledged for their success by outsiders, but whenever he tours which is regularly, WE show up to dance, sing and remember almost 50 years of loving this band. Love y'all for Being and Believing!!

Maze was the opening act for P-Funk at The Spectrum in Philly 1977. Maze was excellent...next was Bootsy...next was Funkadelic...then Parliament. The Mothership landing. What a show. Talked about that show for months.

Classic Philly raw soul.

[@kurtadams3021]

This is true 👍🏾

[@idontknow7738]

@Kurt Adams I liked the name "Raw Soul" before Marvin Gaye told them to change the band's name because he thought "Raw Soul" was an ugly name. Me, personally, I really liked the name because Frankie and Maze always kept their music real. The band never sold out for the money. They stayed true to their game, and not to the industry's game. 😘 Much respect for "Raw Soul." I still love me some Frankie Beverly and Maze though, either way. 😘

[@brodocbetty4856]

[@skinnyman1434]

This is why Maze featuring Frankie Beverly was selling out venues and didn't even have anything on the radio. It wasn't just a concert, they took us on a journey. They were one of the groups that ALWAYS!! got down just like this. Money's worth ?!!? Good as Maze made us feel it felt like we were almost cheating somebody.
