QLS Gives Frankie Beverly His Flowers | Questlove Supreme

[@SDC1949]

I am 74. I HATE TO CRY!!! So I refuse to cry seeing this underrated giant and legend in music. This is a man that has given us so much joy… me personally. Hey…, Howard was my late father and brother’s name”. I heard you tell Roland Martin that was your name and you hated it… That is but another reason why you hold a special place in my ❤️. I love that name. It’s so Good to see and hear you. Enjoy your retirement. Your music will last forever.

[@kennyyoung8784]

Why do you people downplay Raw Soul? I started the group with Frankie in West phila with our mgr Zip Johnson and then Leon Fisher, after the Butlers, so just remember the name is a tag, we were and are one, Kenny Young.

[@everettejackson4367]

I'm glad Frankie Beverly is getting the recognition he rightly deserves, we as his dedicated fans love his music and the message it delivers. So please don't stop giving him and the remaining original group members their flowers for all the great music from MAZE.

[@niecyscott7929]

Love you Franklin Beverly and Maze. Thank you all for great music. It's ashamed the music industry doesn't recognize pioneers like bar-kays etc.

I'm 62, took a music theory class a few years back Once a week the instructor had one of us bring in one of our favorite songs to share with the class and break the song down. I brought in Golden Time of Day. My mostly unmelinated class was blown away silent. They were like, "who is this again?" I hope they went out and bought their album . I LOVE Frankie Beverly and Maze and I'll miss Frankie's voice and those Maze harmonies are unmatchable!

[@tinadaugherty9073]

I really got into Frankie Beverley & Maze in 1981 when I first heard the long version of " Joy & Pain." I have been hooked ever since in this deep spiritual music because it's got the rock-soul style. His music is one of a kind, unique, and soul-searching. Congratulations on his retirement.❤

[@barbaraharris969]

Frankie/Maze OUR MUSIC !!!...THANK U❤ ....A favorite "Look @ California - LIVE"

[@lindasilas3452]

Thank you Frankie Beverly for all the great music with a message of love. You're one of the greatest to ever do it. Your music is timeless and has stamped its place in history! Love you forever!❤

[@kevbarre6188]

Frankie has had a great life with his music catalog

[@btRU_funQsta]

Raw Soul 1975 clips were live at Winterland, from Wolfgang's archive. You'll find Headhunters live on the same stage, same timeframe. The following year "The Last Waltz" was shot there. My first experience hearing Maze live was 1980 at Oakland Coliseum, same bill as LTD, George Duke and Taste of Honey - never heard so many Sisters swoon at a show - was a stone trip. got to know Frank 7 years later, thru a couple of band members, and wound up working on Silky Soul and Back to Basics, as he transitioned to Warner Bros. Joined his road crew in 1989, doing 3 European tours, 2 Arsenio appearances and Sinbad's 1st Soul Festival in San Martin (1995.) Having encountered his loyal fanbase in several countries, as well as all over this one, there is no limit to the love that flows forth. I can share that my first tour, as Production Mgr for Club Nouveau in 1987, had "Maze -Live in New Orleans" was on the box in tour bus damn near every day, and *shocker* Felton Pilate of ConFunkShun was on my crew. On the band name change, Frank told me directly that Marvin declared "Raw Soul" unfit, because Frank was tooooo smooth. Note that "Joy and Pain" preceded "Sexual Healing," and be aware that Frank plated the pop bottle ostinato on "Give It Up" (you'll hear his voice in the party scene intro.)

[@QLSProducer]

Great reflections. Thank you.

[@joel2421]

Thanks for all of this!

[@kimberlykendrick8680]

One of the true Greats.

[@The78QUE]

I lived in a small town called Darby Township and can remember the numerous shows Frankie Beverly and Raw Soul at a bar called the Township Tavern. I knew the Organ player Sam Porter by way of my cousin who both went to Overbook High School. Outstanding performances then and still going strong. As I recall, Frankie Beverly’s sister even taught at Darby Township High School for a while.

[@QLSProducer]

Was that on Township Line Road?

No it was located 601 Clifton Ave, Sharon Hill, PA 19079.@@QLSProducer

I've ALWAYS loved Frankie Beverly, loving every concert. He never disappoints. I saw him in Kansas City, Mo. He did 3 full audience concerts in a week. Concert 1, full price; # 2 $10.00; # 3 FREE! I lost my mind 3 times that weekend because each concert was better than the last. Thank you Frankie Beverly and Maze for being Respectful Grown Men and for all the memories! Blessings to you and your families. Excellent job QLS!

[@QLSProducer]

Wow, thank you.

[@sonjaistheone4614]

I first happened upon this group at an outdoor concert in Atlanta and remember that the crowd knew all of the words to every song too. I believe that was back in the 90's. I will never forget that Frankie Beverly came out with his signature white outfit on and eventually sang, We Are One, and as he sang, I could hear the entire audience singing along and I literally had a beautiful moment! I saw us at the concert in that moment As ONE! I was moved to tears! I knew then he was singing about the Love of God and the ONENESS of everything! I was probably in my mid twenties but had already by that time experienced just a portion of that God Love! I will Never forget that concert! I found out later that we share the same birthday!

[@katohammond]

Very nice interview session! I've been following the man and his band practically my entire life... and have been heavily influenced in music and style. To answer one of the questions, the Maze sound has ALWAYS been about the tight POCKET, the soulful groove, and the uplifting messages of pure love!!! PERIOD!!!
