Voice of pure velvet  ,sadly passed away aged 77 ,saw them many times back in the day always gave a great concert 

RIP 

Joy and pain what a great track/anthem from back in the day...

I was bang into the soul / Jazz funk stuff when I was in my youth 

I used to spend a fortune on us imports and also went to the clubs of the time watching the likes of Chris French and Steve Walsh on the decks.
​​
Happy days and I keep meaning to organise a trip to one of the Caister soul reunions as they seem to be a lot of fun.

RIP FB

People forget how big the Jazz Funk scene was in the early 80s. The Royalty Southgate comes to mind. 

Just saw this - really sad news. Going to have a quick blast of Back in Stride and Joy and Pain before bed dreaming of my soul boy days......

One of the sounds of the 80s in London if you were a soul boy. Lovely fragile voice that sat perfectly on the live band as everyone else was going loud electronic. Great memories.

Just heard this, gutted, absolute legend 

Saw him a few times at Hammersmith 

His talent never really got the recognition it deserved 

Joy and Pain is a classic

RIP Frankie

Been meaning for a while to get some stuff from Maze. Any recommendations? Specific albums or a decent greatest hits. 

Sad indeed - recall many warm summer evenings/nights just driving around Hertfordshire with Maze playing on the cassette machine.

Loved Maze and yes, Frankie had a great voice.
Joy and Pain is a truly great song.


RIP
