The UK's love affair with Frankie Beverly goes way back to his 60s
Philadelphia recordings as the lead man of Frankie Beverly & The
Butlers and one elusive recording in particular revered on the
Northern Soul scene, "If That's What You Wanted".
We won't wax lyrical about Frankie Beverly & Maze as we did a
Frankie Beverly Profile
in 2022 to celebrate his 76th birthday and a Maze Feat. Frankie Beverly - The Best Of...
in 2020.
Beverly announced his retirement this year with a farewell tour
(which commenced at the end of March) but the members of Maze continue
under the name TMF The Music Forever who, in case you somehow missed it, have just released their debut album "The Music Forever, Vol. 1".
Soul4Real has paired two tracks from their last two albums for release
on 7" vinyl for their Jai Alai imprint. "Somebody Else's Arms" from "Silky Soul" (1989) along with the "Love is" from the "Back To Basics" (1993).
Available now from Soul4Real website.

Remarkable reissue of a great group. The 2 tracks are mid-tempo and I admit I have a weakness for “Love Is”!!!
