Known for his time with the iconic funk band Maze, Frankie Beverly’s smooth voice and heartfelt lyrics have been a staple in the lives of many.
While the exact cause of his death has not been disclosed, the announcement has led to an outpouring of love and tributes from fans and fellow musicians alike.
