Maze Featuring Frankie Beverley is a much-loved R&B act that has been making sweet soul music since the 1970s.
While they didn't have a great number of mainstream chart hits, Maze were extremely popular with urban and R&B audiences. They achieved a devoted following that is still loyal to this day, as well as a string of gold albums, making them one of the principal R&B acts of that time.
Maze was influenced both by their native Philadelphia sound, and by artists like Marvin Gaye and the Isley Brothers. Their own impression on other musicians has spanned not only R&B, but interestingly also, the music of hip hop.
Frankie Beverley is a charismatic performer who has always held the group together with a firm creative vision, and a visit to one of their concerts reveals why their live albums have always had such success. Maze Featuring Frankie Beverley is an experience not to be missed.
