Frankie Beverly & Maze - We Are One LIVE

The amazing and wonderful music of Maze featuring Frankie Beverly is captured right here for lovers of great music to listen to and enjoy.

The first Maze & Frankie Beverly track that I purchased and what seems like only yesterday was "back in stride" and back in stride they are in this rare recording filmed at a sell out concert in California.

Soul Music does not get much better than this. Way way before the days of R&B this video preview is certainly a "Music Lover" for the Connoisseurs of fine music.

This particular track "We are One" was recorded way back in 1983, but on listening, the sound is still so refreshing and new, certainly one of my choices for my list of all time favourite songs.



Combining a Philadelphia soul sound with a strong appreciation of Marvin Gaye, Maze featuring Frankie Beverly was among the top R&B acts of the late '70s and '80s. The distinctive Maze and its charismatic lead singer, founder, producer, and songwriter Beverly didn't have many pop hits, but they were extremely popular among soul and urban contemporary audiences and enjoyed at least six or seven gold albums. Beverly was born Howard Beverly in Philadelphia, PA, on December 6, 1946; he started calling himself Frankie after hearing Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers (a major doo wop group) when he was only nine years old in 1956. Before that, Beverly had been singing gospel in church, and it was Lymon who made him realize that he wanted to perform secular music. That isn't to say that Beverly's appreciation of gospel ever went away; the gospel influence remained when he was in his forties and fifties, but secular R&B would be his main focus.
