Frankie Beverly to Receive Posthumous Grammy Special Merit Honor Award
Legendary soul singer and Maze frontman Frankie Beverly will be honored with a posthumous Grammy at this year’s Special Merit Awards ceremony in February. The Recording Academy’s Special Merit Award is an official Grammy Week event, happening this year in Los Angeles on February 1st.
Frankie Beverly, who died in September at the age of 77, founded the band that became Maze in the 1970s as Raw Soul, and would go on to become one of the most beloved figures in soul music. Frankie Beverly & Maze would build an enviable legacy on hit recordings like “Happy Feelings” and “Before I Let Go,” and critically acclaimed albums like Joy and Pain and We Are One. Maze truly became one of the most celebrated live acts of their generation, with Frankie Beverly as the focal point for a tremendous stage show.
