You know, I just don't think you're excited enough about your choice. :)

I wonder if they ever got tired of Rob Base remaking their songs? Happy OSF.

Frankie B and Maze - that's the biz'ness right there! It's time they are rewarded for all the good sounds they've produced over the years.

Happy OSF.

I called it before I got here. Somehow I knew you'd pick Frankie Beverly & Maze! Happy OSF!

Giiirl you know!!! it sure does boggle my mind, because on the sheer strength of BEFORE I LET GO - they should have amassed enough awards to go around a football field. Seriously.

LOVE IT! Happy OSF.

Hey Sojourner.

Yeah, I saw Frankie a few months ago here in Detroit, and he was still sounding as good as he did the last time I heard him down in Florida nearly 20 years ago. This brother is definitely a treasure.

Great pick, and Happy OSF!

SjP,

This is one of my favorite bands too.

Great Choice! Happy OSF!

Mr. Frankie in those white pants and that baseball hat...I was in Chicago at the airport and didn't actually meet him, but got a chance to say hello in passing...nice man!

I was introduced to FB & Maze by my mother...I used to think that she was their biggest fan, but I think she has some competition with you!

Great choice! Happy OSF!

Oh no....!
You just don't know how much I dislike FB and Maze.
I used to run a jazz and R&B club. Every band that auditioned and every DJ who tried out HAD to play something by FB&M.
Once a week is fine, maybe even three days a week. But hearing the same songs for hours and days on end by FB&M gets old after a while.
(Maybe I don't dislike them so much as I've had my fill.)

Now I was going to pick Frankie Beverly and Maze but went with earth Wind and Fire instead just to find out every one picked them.

Great choice.

Much obliged to all for stopping by. Been so busy lately that its been really hard to keep up.

@ Shae, o.k. You got me. Just who is Rob Base? You know I'm old! LOL

@ HG, Got that right! Its just really hard to believe that a mainstay like FBM have never won anything or been nominated.

@ Revvy Rev, LOL... You claimed that "word of knowledge"!

@ Connoisseur, I hear you and that's one of my favorites!

@ Keith, I wouldn't care if they never did another cut - I'd still try to see them no matter what!

@ MLD, somehow I knew that! LOL

@ Ms Marva, I am green with envy!!!

@ UBJ, c'mon now! I mean that's like Villager not being a Stevie fan!

@ Clnmike, can't ever go wrong with EWF either!

Frankie ain't aged a bit since they made their first album. They are still killing it. Before I Let Go is the black folx anthem. I think it should be played at the inauguration. Ha!
