Well first of all I love that shirt with those soul funk bands names TMF, the new group I'm lovin' it Roame, the original surviving Maze member who along with Frankie Amazing bongo player Chris, he has a great voice and I still remember him from 1991 with his first album Jubu, he's the bad boy with the guitar plays so damn good and of course Tony Toni Tone Calvin, very great gospel singer Daniel, is great Bear, he's gonna make it happen this dude is awesome with the guitar. I guess with the split from FB, it's time to move forward cause Frankie's health is declining, his voice is not the same leading to his retirement and now Sept 10th passed away, man that was the worst sad thing all the Maze fans experienced This is such a great interview Keep up the good work, fellas!!! RIP Frankie TMF always keep him in your prayers

Last year my daughter treated me to Frankie Beverly and maze at Enmark Arena in Savannah. I didn't know it at the time but it was a real blessing because I believe it was after this that the band split with FB Blessed to be able to see the music is going to continue. New material.YES

[@CodyCole80]

😮 So Maze split up!!! I know FB had been issues with his voice. Is that the reason why? It’s sad to see this legendary, iconic band fold. 😔

[@lizgoodwin1812]

Looking forward to this interview! I'm sure that it will be very informative and insightful. Thank you, Mr. G. Hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Blessings to you and all.

It appears there is something more to this break up. Maybe due to Frankie digressing as a performer he turned things over to his family or a different management team to finish the last days of his singing career, which probably meant doing things a little different. For years Frankie said he was his own Mgr, Change is not always bad and nothing last forever,

Truth In Rhythm Is Definitely On Top Of It. A True Museum Of Our Pleasant Musical R&B Funky Soulful Flashback. The Future Is Bleak For Our People. If You Look At Our Current Thuglife Brainwashed Black Youth, It's Sad. To The Black Musician, You've Failed. You Let Section 8 Belly To The Pavement Grooves Take Over, And Now Most Of Our Black Youth Are Criminal Minded, Cultivated By That 808 Bottom Brain Dead Very Alive Bass. Black Musician,It's Your Job To Grab That Brainwashed Black Youth And Give Them Am Instrument. Alot Of You Are Guilty Of Keeping Up With The Tragic Uncertain Times And Relating To Dysfunction. Alot Of Y'all Have Recording Studios At Your Home, And You Have These Pants Sagging Youth In Your Studio Dropping Beats With No Future. We Need More Frankie Beverly And Maze. Deep Times Baby. Thank You Dr. GX. You Care

Instead of blaming black musicians, how about you blame former President Ronald Reagan. It was his policies that eliminated music being taught in schools way back in the 80s. Combine that with the evolution of drum machines and other musical technology and you have the end of young people being musicians and learning real instruments. It’s been over for a LOOOONG time, like over 40 years. The musicians did not fail anyone. Things changed and they’re never going back to what they used to be. All young people making music aren’t thugs either
