The music world mourns the loss of Frankie Beverly, the iconic frontman of Maze, who passed away yesterday at the age of 77. His smooth vocals, heartfelt lyrics, and magnetic stage presence captivated audiences for over five decades, leaving a lasting mark on the landscape of soul and R&B music.
Born Howard Stanley Beverly in Philadelphia, he embarked on his musical journey in the 1960s, drawing inspiration from gospel music and the soul icons of his era. Relocating to San Francisco, he formed Maze and signed with Capitol Records, where they achieved remarkable success, including nine gold albums and chart-topping hits like “Joy and Pain” and “We Are One.”
Beverly’s songwriting explored the complexities of love, life, and the human experience, touching hearts with his sincerity and emotional depth. His velvety voice effortlessly conveyed joy, pain, and everything in between, creating an intimate connection with listeners.
Beyond his musical talents, Beverly was admired for his humility, warmth, and genuine love for his fans. His performances were legendary, filled with energy, passion, and a deep appreciation for the music he created.
Even following his departure from the original Maze lineup, the bond between Beverly and his former bandmates remained strong. In a statement released today, Richard Thomas, agent of “The Music Forever” (formerly Maze featuring Frankie Beverly), expressed the group’s deep sorrow, saying:
“TMF is deeply saddened by the passing of their friend and brother Frankie Beverly. TMF would like to share their condolences with Frankie’s family, friends and many fans. Frankie will be missed.”
As we say goodbye, we remember Frankie’s incredible talent and the joy his music brought us. Though he may be gone, his voice will continue to resonate through the ages, reminding us all to cherish the “Golden Time of Day” and embrace the “Happy Feelin’s” that life has to offer.
Rest in peace, Frankie. Your music will always be in our hearts.
