[@reneejones2183]

Thank you very much for this, Mr Martin. I've been listening to Frankie since I was about 6 years with my dad and uncles. I've attended about 60 concerts in the last 35 years. The music is full of love and honoring God through the music. I worshipped God at the concerts. Therapeutic. I have a set of maracas that only get used at a Frankie Beverly concert!!! I could go on and on. I Wanna Thank You Lord, for Frankie Beverly.

[@LC-ww1lv]

The fact that I will never be another family reunion hosted by Frankie Beverly is not setting well with my spirit 😢. Frankie was the spirit of love and unity! I looked forward to our family reunions every year meeting new family members, dancing together, hugs, kisses even exchanging numbers. Thank you God for sharing this special Angel with us.

[@sharon-dutchess2045]

Thank you Frankie Beverly for the beautiful soul music you blessed us with. In the UK England at nearly every party Frankie Beverly & The Maze would be played, I'm now in my 60s but the music is still relevant yesterday and today and into the next generation and forever. I was blessed to see him and The Maze in London UK over 35 years ago and I have his albums, and still loving his music. Sad that he now with the ancestors but he will live on. Thank you Roland for the tribute to a great King R.I.P. Frankie Beverly💞🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@derekhenderson1730]

I had the good fortune to see Frankie with Maze when they came to Scotland in the mid 80s. They only had one date in Edinburgh and it was superb. I loved Frankie, he was such a natural and genuine performer, always getting the crowd involved. It felt like a big party and you left feeling on top of the world. You are immortal now Frankie and never will you be forgotten. . .RIP, we will all miss you forever.

[@deborahvalentin447]
