I love D.C...Summer was not complete until Frankie showed up. Rare Essence showing up at the Hall on Georgia Ave is still fresh on my mind. God Bless Chuck Brown and another Brother from S.E. by the name of name of Marion Barry. Due to his willingness to see us do better, I have been around the world with the skills needed to keep me moving. D.C. where my heart is. Thank you!

Tony Lindsay

[@keith32181]

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]

its the band. they a whole mess

[@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.

[@nancyrobinson227]

I think they were excellent! There’s only one Frankie Beverly.
