Editorial Reviews

Silky Soul Music is the brainchild of Frankie Beverly1s son, Anthony, who is serving as the project1s executive and co-producer. Beverly developed the idea to properly honor his father1s contributions to the music industry in a way that has never been done before. It is the first and only album recognizing Beverly and Maze1s nearly 40-year career including 12 albums and 30 hit singles. The 10 songs selected for the CD represent some of Maze and Frankie Beverly1s greatest hits. Featured are a host of Grammy Award winning and nominated gold and platinum-selling artists in R&B and Gospel, including Joe, Kevon Edmonds, Mary J. Blige, Ledisi, Mint Condition, Raheem DeVaughn, and the Clark Sisters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great CD: 1 weak song, September 27, 2009

This is by far the best salute album I have heard in years. However, the weakest song on this cd is Mary J. Blige's version of "Before I Let Go". I have to skip over that each time. My favorite song is "Never Let You Down" by Kevond Edmonds.

I've been a fan of Maze for years, and this collection of classics from their catalog are given an amazingly current, yet fantastically faithful redo. WOW. Tribute albums are typically hit-and-miss for the most part, but this collection produced by Frankie Beverly's talented son Anthony, are every bit as good as the original - showcasing just how classic they truly are. HIGHLY recommended!

I have saw Maze perform about 12 times and each time was fresh. Never throught anybody could do Joy & Pain as good as Maze, but brother Avant did a excellent job. The whole CD is great minus 1. Mint Conditon song did not fit to me.It wasn't as smooth as the other tracks. I like the Mint, but they were not right for this CD, no disrespect to the Mint. Love the Soulchild steppers version of Silky Soul. Sounds like Soulchild is singing from the heart about Frankie as Frankie sang about Marvin. If you like Maze this CD is a keeper. Looking forward to next tribute to Frankie. It's got to be a Part 2. One God One Aim One Destiny
