Setting The Record Straight! TMF Rebuffs Misinfo About Frankie Beverly & Maze Split |  

AMEN!!💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

This is great for TMF but, really sad for Maze feat. Frankie Beverly. Thank you, Roland. I had no idea. Wow,my heart breaks. I have followed them since the 8th grade...I'll be 60 in Dec. God willing. My absolute favorite band😢😢😢

Thank you Roland for having TMF on to set us straight. This was Nov. 2023. Any follow-up while in the early quarter of 2024?

Beverly supposedly has dementia! Family is new management!!

I believe it's two sides to every story

I missed something, so WHY did Frankie leave the group?

Frankie Beverly is not who he use to be, it appears to me he is struggling right now. He never appears alone. A family member or two has appeared with him when accepting awards or being interviewed. He struggles to hold a note at times. It appears they maybe something else going on with him in the area of geriatrics.

I agree with @haystewart, it seems as if there is some health issues that aren’t being discussed in which I do understand. I am heartbroken that this is happening but wish them all the best.❤❤❤

I absolutely LOVE the new song guys!!! Thank you for helping me understand. Thank you for being resilient and continuing the music!!! See y'all at the next Houston show!!! I'm sharing the song with all my friends and family!!!💯🔥🔥

Oh my goodness am l hearing this correct or am l just uninformed l happened to go to utube and hear that Frankie is leaving o no This group is the crown jewel wow man l believe these fellows will always have a great connection l just can't let go with this news But l believe that this group will never let go we love you brothers you are the best lam ready for a reunion already l tell every body you are the toast where ever you go God speed

I AM DEFINITELY WITH YOU GUYS I LOVED YOU FOR THE PASS 20 YEARS AS YOU HAVE POUR YOUR HEART & SOUL INTO THE MUSIC I WILL FOREVER LOVE YOU FOR THAT KEEP IT MOVING DOING WHAT YOU LOVE TO DO CONTINUAL BLESSINGS WISHING ALL THE BEST TO YOU GUYS😊❤️💯👏

GOD bless you all; may He continue to keep you as you travel, as you play, as you cheer up people, as you feed souls with your music...thanks for clearing things up for us!

20+ years!!! What's not to embrace! Bear said it best. Thank you all for the 💘 love, for loving your audience, for loving each other, for your honesty, your talent for all the joy you bring to us all. I come from a long line of musicians, my brother is still an artist, playing in (I believe) 2 bands, a band member & drummer. So I can understand exactly what you mean. May the Good Lord watch over you & continue to keep you. Don't be discouraged, please stay strong and of course we love Frankie...and you all too. Bless TMF Please Lord!❤❤❤

YESSSS

I hope that Frankie Beverly will reunite with Maze!!!❤

I'm not drinking the Kool Aid..they messed up a whole era.

Well said👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

To me if there's no Frankie Beverly then i will except the band hands down and to me there can never be another lead singer like Frankie Beverly 😢

Me and you both!

Younz all.have great memories 🧠 🥧

That's true. It is difficult to see Frankie Beverly now compared to 10 - 15 years ago.

@@debmck3010 years ago he couldn’t sing his songs.

I franky beverly not their nooooooooooooooooooooo!! it will not be the same and i know it sorry!

?

You have to get old too

I think Chris Williams sang background for Regina Belle 30 yrs ago and recorded solo to a flop. I th

Wait a minute where is Frankie

Oversimplification perfection!

Amen, but it’s an intellectual property, founded by Frankie Beverly himself, and for more than 50 year (1970) marketed into popularity as “Frankie Beverly & Maze” brand, apparently trademark owned individually by lead vocalist Frankie Beverly himself.. now at retirement turns to a new management for his personal, future business directions.. It appears non of the now ex-Maze musicians had any vested interest$ in the FB&M intellectual property.. however, numerous band member past and present had major creative involvement with recording of 9-studio albums between 1977-1993.. as pointed out here, it was a unit effort when it came to song writing, overall musical production, both in studio and in the live performances… but no percentage ownership of FB&M band name.. so clearly didn’t read or understand the contract, b/c no insensitive or benefit, just a pay check no matter how good, loyalty, longevity… simply you can keep your job, but as musician contract worker🤔 Look at the Motown legendary “Temptations” its trademark owner Otis Williams, he is last original living member, now for years has allow at the same time many traveling “Temptations” cover bands too use the name worldwide, who perform the Temp’s songs, made famous in 1960s 70s by the classic five and a couple of lead replacements.. at end of the day, as here, it’s an individual band member who owns this business. Its sad what has happened to all these brilliant ex Maze musicians, once part of one of the few live instrument performing ole school iconic RnB soul funk bands, from an era of real quality music. Wishing TMF “The Music Forever” all the best and support💯 like RM here, and in all media forms.. need a Breakfast Club visit, sure to inform millions, promo TMF efforts 💯🎶🖤

@@julslatt6294 Most likely the reason they changed their name to the The Music Factory. The real test will come at the concerts. How many Maze songs will they be allow to sing? I went to to see Larry Grahm years ago and he only played Sly and the Family Stone songs. The audience kept suggesting Grahm Central Station music but we didn't get any. It turns out Larry Grahm didn't leave Warner Brothers on the best of terms. Warner Brothers owned the catalogue and he couldn't play any of GCS music.

A lot of double talk

Daniel I could listen to your voice anytime!

Sorry, but no. Franky is MAZE. Period.

So very wrong are you ! The band (Maze) is great , but without the voice of Frankie Beverly , it's just not the same . Even with beautiful and extraordinary talented voices like Beyonce Knowles singing the lyrics ; the songs DON'T HIT THE SAME , AND NEVER WILL !!

@@pamelawalton1318exactly

So true.

How did it go?

How did it go? 😊

Excellent show!!!Frankie seemed to be enjoying himself and was very gracious. He did seem a little weak, but that didn’t stop him from giving his all. He just had to show up and we took it from there. The band was fire 🔥 but I still miss the rest of the family 😔I pray they get the whole family back together because they ( in my heart) were missed. I’ve seen Maze and Frankie in concert from 1977 when I was a freshman in college, to this recent concert and there was always an original member on his side. I pray there’s some resolution before Frankie decides to retire. I’d love to see one more concert with Roame, Jubu, and Bear happily by Frankie’s side 😔☮️🩷🙏🏿🙏🏿Frankie, my ♐️brother😂😂

@@Nell_3 Great. Wish you had a little clip from the show. Thank You for the update 😊.

This was actually the best thing for these guys. It's time for Frankie to put down the 🎤

​​@@sharon4094I saw him in Dallas in 1983 on the " We Are One" tour. O' brien opened. That's 40 years ago. Yeah, it's probably time. He had an awesome run, but age always wins.

👍🏾

Thank you for telling the truth!!

"Ain't nobody coming to see you Otis!!!!!!!!!!"

@@GeeBee212😂😂😂😂

Touche' (smile)

That’s why they changed their name… these brothers are still the same gentlemen that were performing. The music is still going to be awesome, and we should all be willing to embrace this new journey they are all in…. We can can also still support Frankie.

​@@keyishathomas549YES AMEN I CONCUR

My thoughts exactly

You ever thought management is controlling him.

@@gregorymcgaughy4390 To be honest yes he could be under duress.

​@@gregorymcgaughy4390Wys!!

I'm not buying this at all. It doesn't sound right. Frankie needs to stand up. This is your group.

Frankie & TMF, are no more. That ship has sailed. 😢

@@carolynwalters7895 As much as I hate to say this, you're right. They just fell off the cliff.

Hopefully he will quietly retire and yes we do love him and will miss him.

He is retiring 😢what can he do

Management don't care about anyone's feelings all management care about is money more for them and less for you

Totally agree! Why hasn't Frankie reached out to these brothers! That's totally unacceptable!

❤

50 years in the business, and it comes to this. I'm not buying it. What's up, Mr. Beverly?

Truth is Frankie memory is not good. I’m saying this from the conversations I’ve had with him when the band was together. I’m a nurse and I can’t give medical diagnosis but I’ve cared for many people with the same issues I noticed in our conversation. Frankie would ask me about my son, his college etc. but would continue to ask me the same questions within the same hour and when I would speak to him again, he would ask the same questions. His short term memory was extremely bad. His long term memory was good so him not having these guys is horrible. I feel the new management is the one in the wrong.

I agree. Sometimes you need to just retire and enjoy what is left of your life. Better to retire when you were in top shape. It is always tougher on the singer. I hope FB continued success. I will always remember the good music those guys gave during my college days. Band go forward. You all have a special unity and spirit with your music.

Frankie is in the early stages of dementia he can barely speak!

How do you know if that’s even true?

​@@willgaither2478it's absolutely true he's my family

Yeah, I’ve made that statement for decades. Saw them at the Pantages in the early 90’s when Maurice didn’t perform and I never wanted to see them perform again. Even though the band performed extremely well, just wasn’t the same for me.

💯💯💯

​@johnbrownjr371 he got Parkinson disease couldn't tour

@@oholm09 yes he did have Parkinson’s

New people coming in? Do you realize that the majority of the band that is now TMF was Maze for over Twenty Years? Everything was explained on the show as best as we could explain it. We’re sorry you don’t understand how these thing work sometimes. We wish you Peace and Blessings!🙏🏾💕

You are so correct. Not many people other than true fans even know the names of the band members. I'd be more inclined to go see Frankie than the Maze band members. "Ain't nobody coming to see you Otis!"

@@GeeBee212 lol 😂 I’m done

@@teeburdtalks 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Right, his voice is shot! They can now get a new lead vocal with their new name.

@@wbanks3749 I don’t recall his name but one of the guys interviewed is the new vocalist and performs in that role. They played a new release that features him as lead and it is outstanding! Give a listen to Roland’s podcast (about half way in.

Wow My Same Thoughts When I Seen Them In My City Of Vegas... I Told My Wife Frankie Beverly Don't Have To Sing He Can Just Sit Their In a Golden Chair...We The Audience Will Sing Like We Always Do Anyway @ a Maze Show & Let The Band Play...We Just Needed Him On Stage & We'll Do The Rest. So Good Luck To Maze On The Next Journey... Personally I Would Rather a instrumental Album To Start Out With So It Doesn't Sound Like The New Vocalist Is Trying To Replace The Only Voice That We Ever Heard On a Maze Project... Vegas Love's & Jamz Frankie Beverly & Maze Forever 💖 Enjoy ✌️🙏

New age mangers are destroying so many things in so many entities. Good luck guys!

😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

Amen

I agree with you on that issue

you’re crazy….people pay money for performance

That was my thought also…74 WHERE!!!!!

That’s right, Roame is 74…Philly good stock.
