Frankie Beverly must have been a teenager when he released this song. This was years before MAZE came along

My man is competing with "The Geator". Great stuff my man!!!

[PJDooWop]

Funny you should mention that.. I've been wanting to break into the Philly radio market for a long time. Blavat told me he was interested in seeing what I could bring to the table and said he'd call me to invite me to the studio, and then I never heard from him again

[CousinBuzzin]

there is a wing attached to the mountain

at looks as if above is a face but the face

lays within the mountain and the path the

path is to the side and I know the whole

face and I really can't say which side I feel

but I do know there are feathers and thats

bout it right this moment. But dang yester day they were passing through and today just a few scattered passing by those that give us the essence of life.

[TriviaOne]

From the Butlers to Frankie Beverly and Maze...Wow! Frankie is still doin' it.

My first time hearing this...the flip is Northern soul, "She Tried to Kiss Me (All I Could Do Was Run)".

[PJDooWop]

The flip is a great tune... I posted it around the same time I posted this side. For me it's impossible to choose a favorite. These songs are almost polar opposites.. This is a smooth sweet soul ballad and the other is a frantic Northern Soul dancer... Both songs are masterpieces... Fine examples of what Philly had to offer.

@PJDooWop There was also an accapella version of this by a philly group The Destinations (lead singer "Froggy' ?). I imagine this one is quite rare. The Destinations used to sing this under the boardwalk in Wildwood in those days. I noticed that the Butler's version was produced by the late great jazz philly organist Charle Earland. I had copies of both at one time. Thanks for posting this great one.

[tuberciend]

That distinct philadelphia sound. Great one.

[rybalko0140]

Oh, this is so tight. Love this one!

[PJDooWop]

Yeah... and it's a rarely (if ever) heard song.

[bdm099]

[morenocarlos12]
