FIRST TIME HEARING Frankie Beverly And Maze - Before I Let Go REACTION

[@lwashington326]

This is THE ultimate cookout jam! You put this song on, EVERYBODY dances.

[@shevawn1973]

Yessir! Maze HAD to play at every Cookout. Perfect Summer Music..easy and great times back then.

[@pthesmith]

Everybody SINGS!

[@KLBrady-WriterGadgets]

Mandatory. Every cookout. Every mama and nana is getting up! Might see a line dance or two.

[@RobertaS127]

💯

[@kimberlypage5285]

Also the song they play at the end of parties when they turn the lights on. You ain’t got to go home, but...

[@arthurhaywood2184]

This is ones of those songs where you find out the all of your aunties, uncles & even your grandma can still get down!

[@doreensarcone4346]

Yes YES Y-E-S!!!

[@cassandraf8685]

Facts! Every generation is grooving to this. It's a staple in our culture

[@bethanyisles9823]

😂😂😂

[@Msbmaxey8]

Yessss!!

[@adriennerutledge5745]

You put down your plate at the cookout to dance when this comes on.

[@doreensarcone4346]

ROFLMAO - no doubt!

[@raineyj560]

Lol exactly

[@cassandraf8685]

ABSOLUTELY! I got up while listening to this reaction 😆

[@terrilynn112]

Yes indeed. Cookout song

[@claudiawilliams8751]

YES! YES! And don't leave out grandpa and grandma getting up to shake a leg and smooth with their moves.

[@msajk4ever982]

This is the official, “if you got 10 or more black people at your house must be played” song. Family reunions, weddings, parties, bbq’s, baby showers, and any other celebration you can think of. Your party can be dead as a doorknob but when this song comes on, everyone gets out on the floor.

[@subymanvince]

This is what is called "Grown Folks Music"! 🤣

[@ethelberksteiner3450]

FACTS!

[@shakarussanders9911]

Haha I was just gonna say something like that but you beat me to it😄

[@shyne2exclusive23]

A cookout not a cookout until this song come on

[@terrancemays837]

Facts!!!!

[@sunmoonstars-worthington8496]

This is a song that everyone from 2 to 90 gets up and dances.

[@VLovesmith7999]

These guys are legends. React to "Joy and Pain" "Happy Feeling" by Maze. That's Frankie Beverly in the white and he's the main singer in his signature white outfits and white cap.

[@karenprice9132]

Joy and Pain is a fabulous song of theirs. TwinsthenewTrend please give this one a listen. Then try something by the Whispers.

[@doreensarcone4346]

@@karenprice9132 yes the Whispers !!!

[@RobertaS127]

Golden Time of Day is another good one.

[@patriciaevans1537]

Also, Southern Girls.

[@tanyaburnsweldon8065]

in my house when it was time to clean mom would put on Happy Feelings or something by Teddy P like I don't love you anymore... make us start moving ☺️

[@yousexymf]

Golden Time Of Day and The Morning After

[@breebarry4422]

You are awarded your official, “Black Family Reunion/Pic Nic/Back Yard Party Card”. A lot of the songs you Gents get questioned about not hearing are mainstays at old school Black relatives gatherings. Often involving, a drunk uncle, or an incredulous Grandma, or a Cool-ass aunt/cousin, pulling out the record crates and Turn-table saying, “These kids don’t know anything about the history of OUR music! They don’t understand how it was. How it helped us survive!”

[@auntienancy7787]

^ Cool @ss aunt... LOL

[@guarogee]

Two songs that never miss at the BBQ, Maze " Before I Let GO" and Marvin Gay's "Give it Up"!!

You forgot tonight is the night by miss betty wright

[@guarogee]

@@johnnypickens9228 I didn't forget, I was just focusing on two songs, lol. I agree with you, but if start that, there are a lot of songs associated with the BBQ!! Lets go one for one, "Celebration" Cool And The Gang.

[@GinaO43]

Oh Hell yes! There's a party over here.. The roof, the roof....

[@vrotties]

You ain't black and grown unless you know of listen to or went to a Frankie Beverly and Maze Concert. Welcome to the tribe guys! Lol

[@lynx70123]

It (live concert) was literally a bucket list item of mine. Checked it off twice -- Dallas, TX in the 90s and New Orleans, LA in the 2000s.

[@brownin329]

I saw Maze in the 90s play a 4 hour set because the younger cats never showed up! Will always be one of my favorite bands!

[@kimberlyfarrow4339]

At least once!

[@boriqualittymodcapt.3493]

Yessssssss.........

[@autumnl5127]

RIP Mr. Beverly THE legend 🙏🏾😢❤

[@deniserenteria5868]

Happy Feelin's is another banger and feel good song. It's what they did for us, bring us together in dance and song and feel good.

This one band that when they are in concert, they never really sing a song all the way through. Their audiences knows every word and sings right along with them. Now that's love and respect.

When Frankie Beverly and Maze comes to Jazz Fest or Essence Fest in New Orleans, everyone gets out of their seats and dance, the entire time they are performing. Please listen to, You and Joy and Pain by this group. I LOVE them and everyone else too. Definitely played at all barbecues.

[@adrienneallen194]

Can it be? My favorite twins AND "Before I Let Go" in the same video?? And you all nailed it with the barbecue vibe - I know I'm not the only one Electric Sliding at my laptop right now. Dreams DO come true in Jan. 2021!
