Frankie Beverly - A Profile


Another artist celebrating a birthday today is Frankie Beverly who is 76 (born 6 Dec 1946). An in depth article was featured in Nov 2020 so rather than repeat it, we refer you to it HERE.

However, at that time we were not using Spotify and all music was linked to YouTube, so we will do a Spotify playlist of some of his best music.
A couple of his 'not to be missed' early recordings are (surprisingly in the case of his Northern Soul classic "If That's What You Wanted") not included on Spotify so below are some links to YouTube. The other two tracks are of a early version of his first charting single with Maze, "While I'm Alone" recorded as Frankie Beverly's Raw Soul in 1972 along with Maze's performance of it on Soul Train circa 1977.

There's only a limited number of tracks that can be put in playlist as he and Maze have recorded so much great music, but all of Maze's albums except "Can't Stop The Love" are featured on Spotify (follow links if you wish to listen to them).

1979 - Inspiration
1980 - Joy And Pain
1983 - We Are One
1985 - Can't Stop The Love
1989 - Silky Soul

  1. This is a group that I have always liked so much that I have absolutely everything since their debut under their name "The Butlers".
