I remember when this first came out, I was about 10 yrs old living in Detroit, they use to play this one the radio all the time, I am so glad that I grew up listen to good music unlike some of the crap I am hearing today, Franky Beverly and Maze are the shiznit.
My greatest memory of music like this, is going out of town or even a weekend in the city of Detroit and singing some of the words......GOOD MUSIC NEVER DIES, BUT LIVES ON FOREVER AND EVER
The first time I saw them in concert was at the Cincinnati Jazz Festival, when it was actually called that back in the 90s with my daddy and his now ex-girlfriend. I remember that year and that day, we all matched with our black & white polka dots on. HA! #memories ...and I'm 28 years old now.
Hard to believe that it's now been over 20 years since I first heard this silky groove. One of my favs from Maze & Frankie Beverly. Soo incredibly smooth. LOVE IT!!!
Silky Soul and was penned as a tribute to the band's mentor, Marvin Gaye, who helped the group establish their reputation opening for the singer during his 1976 U.S. tour, changed their name from Raw Soul to Maze and later helped them get a deal with Capitol Records after introducing the band to Larkin Arnold. I love the video and i love da hell out dis song
@rickey850 You darn right that it was Marvin that he was talking about. Some people do not know it, but Marvin Gaye came up with the name "Maze". Yes indeed, Marvin Gaye was the Silky silky soul singer!
Thank you so much for posting this, I have waited so long to get this on youtube, takes me back to a great time in my life. I can never sit still when this plays
@p4soul There was another slow love song by Frankie Beverly and Maze. I can't think of the name. It wasn't While I'm Alone, but it was an older song.....? Can you post all of the older love songs by Maze?
@joolspirog I love this song. I loved Maze and Frankie Beverly before I heard this song but I absolutely love Marvin Gaye so the fact that they did a song for him? Made me love them even more...and it doesnt hurt that the song is just awesome :)
This song dedicated by Maze to Marvin Gaye who brought this struggling for recognition to the forefront...a great rendering by a great group to an exceptionally great artist...
Only Frankie can do just the right tribute to Marvin and he indeed did it with class, I love this cut and RIP Marvin we really miss you thanks Frankie for the tribute.
Remembering Whitney Houston--another "silky soul singer". We'll miss you....
