In soulful remembrance, we present this loving tribute to the superbly talented FRANKIE BEVERLY (December 6, 1946 – September 10, 2024), the pioneering leader of the much-loved group MAZE from Michael Hansen with this episode of his Smiley’s Old School Soul Show on SoundCloud.

A mainstay among Black music audiences in the US for over four decades, who also thrilled fans with their occasional performances in the UK, MAZE Featuring Frankie Beverly created an amazing catalogue of classic anthems including “We Are One,” “Golden Time Of Day,” “Back In Stride,” “Before I Let Go” and the show-stopping crowd pleaser “Joy And Pain”.

We join Michael and Maze fans the world over  in honouring the legacy of Frankie Beverly for his enduring musical legacy. Rest heavenly, Frankie.
