Frankie Beverly, born Howard Beverly in December 1946 in Philadelphia, PA, began his musical career by forming several groups as a teenager. His first taste of success came with Frankie Beverly and the Butlers, who released “If That’s What You Wanted” in 1967, catching the eye of record producer Kenny Gamble.
Formed in the 1970s, Maze featuring Frankie Beverly became renowned for their smooth, soulful sound, producing timeless hits like “Before I Let Go,” “Joy and Pain,” and “Happy Feelin’s.”
Audiences flocked to see Maze, often donning Beverly’s signature all-white attire, creating a unifying and vibrant atmosphere at concerts.
In 2024, Beverly announced his retirement with the “I Wanna Thank You Farewell Tour,” culminating in a final, emotional performance on May 12th at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
