All Star Tribute To Maze

A who's who of R&B and gospel artists have recorded an all-star tribute album recognizing the nearly 40-year career, 12 albums and 30 hit singles of Maze featuring Frankie Beverly.

Mary J Blige, Musiq Soulchild, Raheem DeVaughn, Ledisi, Donald Lawrance and the Clark Sisters have been named as participants so far. More are to be announced in the coming weeks.

Due in August from Brantera Music Group and 101 Distribution, the 10-track project is being executive produced by Frankie Beverly's son, Anthony Beverly, to properly honor his father's contributions to the music industry in a way that has never been done before.

"Not only is this an accomplished group of artists with diverse and distinctive voices, they are all Frankie Beverly and Maze fans," said Anthony. "They come to this project with their own personal Frankie Beverly experiences which adds to the impact of the project. I am excited to pay tribute to my father's legacy by working with this incredible group of artists who embody the spirit, appreciation and talents consistent with Maze's sound and message."

Mary J. Blige sang "Before I Let Go," Musiq Soulchild is handling "Silky Soul" and Donald Lawrence is producing a gospel rendition of "I Wanna Thank You," originally released on Maze's 1983 "We Are One" LP.
