As the years go on and the long list of important icons in our lives dwindle, I can’t help but feel a sense of gratitude. I am grateful to have had the relationship with Frankie Beverly’s music that I have had. With so many incredible artists and so much great music, Maze featuring Frankie Beverly is still a nostalgic refuge to enjoy a road trip, a gathering with friends and family or alone with my favorite beverage reflecting on the past. But in his own words, why do the things that make us happy, make us sad…seems to me it’s like joy and pain, sunshine and rain. Rest in peace Frankie.
