Essence Festival is a class act. BET Awards is ratchet. Thanks for posting. Frankie deserves this honor. Throughout the years, he has been wonderful and shining example of black culture and music.

You’re so welcome!

Did Luke rehearse the song or do soundcheck 🥴

[@freelancerjourn]

@@keith32181 What I loved about Luke James is that you can tell he studied Frankie. He’s dressed just like Frankie dressed in the We Are One music video.

[@keith32181]

@@freelancerjourn but didn’t rehearse the song…

[@evrydayppl6296]

@@keith32181Come on Luke…It did not sound like you rehearsed it. New Orleans is Luke’s hometown. I remember ONE of Maze’s best live album was in New Orleans and Los Angeles.

[@txzbelle75]

Honestly he sounded like he was sick or may have lost his voice. He came in too early on one part, aside from that he did well... Also, he's done We Are One as a tribute before and knocked it out of the park..

[@Chyuuch]

[@akanderson01]

Man, I know these artist are incredibly talented but man they are just not capturing that Frankie vibe and flow!! I know I know there will never be another Frankie but......SMH I just don't know. I've heard other artist cover him much better.

[@Vthepreacher]
