I have an 11 year old that I got turned on to this. If I pop in their cd all I hear is my baby voice singing maze. I'm a proud momma but I reminisce my father playing their albums just about everyday. Sitting on the porch with his towel over his shoulder drinking a cold beer or glass of ice tea singing and two stepping to Maze. He went to many of their concerts. Lord I miss my dad and that good music.
y'all have been on one helluva ride for these 40+ years, and praise God you're still on it! I will always treasure and sing and jam to your wonderful music! Keep on riding, and roll as long as you can, we'll be right there with you for the party!! Thanks, MAZE for this body of work and for those fantastic shows!!!! TISH
My dad would play this song whenever my parents had an argument. They'd end up dancing in the living room for hours. As a kid, I was unable to comprehend what this song truly meant. I knew it sounded good and my parents weren't yelling at each other anymore. Now as a husband and father myself, Joy & Pain is perfectly clear. I understand what affect it had, not only on my parents but on me and how I was able to watch their interactions, learn from them and apply them in my marriage. Thanks MAZE!
Last year I went to a KBLX festival with Gladys Knight, Cameo and Frankie Beverly, 10 hours of crazy love! When this song played, my heart grew 10 inches! This has always played in my house, my family knows every word, kinda like our anthem -- I always preach to appreciate all moments, the simplest things can make you happy and smile...take it all in, carry the love so when the heavy times come...you're suited up to overcome--- I love Frankie Beverly! He's silky soul!
Saw Maze and Frankie last night in Columbia, SC. Simply Awesome. This is the second time I've seen them in concert. Rock and Roll has the Rolling Stones and lovers of real R&B have Frankie Beverly and Maze!!!!!!!!!
This is truly an all time jam. Frankie is one of the first to get his audience involved in his message. God bless for allowing me to witness this artist.
ME BEING A TRUE DEDICATED MUSICIAN AS I AM, I APPRECIATE ALL THE TEACHING I HAVE RECIEVED FROM ALL OF THE MUSICIANS OF MAZE I HAVE LEARNED AND HAVE KEPT WITH ME EVERY SINCE THE EARLY 70s'. KEEP ON DOING WHAT YOU ALL ARE DOING FRANKIE. SOMEDAY GOD WILL BLESS BE TO JOIN YOU ALL ON STAGE AND I KNOW TOGETHER WE WILL TURN THIS NATION OUT WITH THE LOVE TOUR OF THE CENTURY. TONEY HIGH, AkA T-BONE HIGH.
Sweet, sweet Frankie and and wonderful Maze!!! I love this Classic from them, it, no they are timeless TREASURES for us to enjoy. And believe me, I really do!!! Thanks for the post.
I always think of my Son Brandon when I hear this song . I wanted a baby boy so desperately and God heard my prayer and gave me a Beauitful Baby July 15, 1981 and I named Him Brandon Lynn Crosby he brought my so much joy and then January 14,2004 He was shot and killed and all I could say was joy and pain.
What makes Maze amazing is ... the genuine love expressed and felt through the music ... that's why you will never forget a Maze concert and nobody goes on after him. Frankie and Maze are the closers!...stay connected
There are times in ONEs life that if they happen upon music that moves the soul, there can be no better group of artist such as Franky and Maze, This group is the last connection to what music is really about: Big Band having fun and a jam session. OLD SKOOL.
With the love, effort, and perfection Frankie Beverly & Maze put into their songe and live performances I can't understand why in the world they have been overlooked by the music industry with winning awards.
When I was going through my spiritual cleansing such a rough road i had this song tuned in my mind all the time. It reminded me that true peace comes with solid life lessons. like the refining fire this song is to me a comforting guide through the hard times. Man music just aint real no more is it. Thank god for musicians past or we'd be in a soulless musical hole today. God bless maze and frankie beverly.
This song is really helping me get thru horrible divorce!!!!! It make my cry and release the pain instead of keeping in bottle up!!!!!! Thanks G-D for his blessings thru the sound of music
Frankie Beverly music is awesome. His songs take me way back. My brother who passed away in 2003 loved all his songs, and never missed a concert when he came to town. May he R.I.P.....FLA Jr.
I saw them sing many years ago at an outdoor concert and wow it was amazing. the people kept wanting more and more. I remember in my youth listening to their music for hour and hours at a time. what our kids are missing out on is unbelieveable....Unless we pass this music on to them they will never know true love songs.
soooo many wonderful memories! 70's was the best music ever and happy I lived in it and through it and all around... yeah! like "Sunshine and Rain! Love can be sweet..Joy & pain" says it all! love Maze - true muscians forever xoxoxox
An inspirational sound, top Choon, always uplifts me, whenever I hear it. Its brought me through some tough and fun times. Frankie Beverley's voice and the MAZE musicians are the business, never bettered!!!
Frankie Beverly's soothing soulful groove message is as relevant in 2014 as it was when I first met him and his original "Raw Soul" members when he packed those clubs in Philly (70's) . Be encouraged Frankie and Maze band members!
I was fortunate enough to see them in concert Oct 2010 in Las Vegas, I purchased standing room only - let me tell you the only way to go! You will never sit down at this show!!! Love you Frankie Beverly & Maze see you this Oct back in Vegas.
AWESOME, WHAT A WAY TO BRING IN THE FOURTH OF JULY....... ONE OF MY FAVORITES, AMONG MANY OF THEIR OTHER SONGS. YES 35 YEARS THAT WAS A SO GOOD, MY HUSBAND AND I WERE GROOVING TO THE BEAT. THANKS FOR POSTING. GOD BLESS ........
they left me in trance awhil ago on Bet awards, they are a once in lifetime experince. everyone was on there feet at tha Bet awards ceremony and singin just like they are in this video wow.
not sure if anyone gives a shit but if you guys are bored like me atm you can watch all of the new movies on InstaFlixxer. I've been watching with my girlfriend lately :)
Crowd kept the beat going after the band stopped playing. Black people this is something that is unique to us. We hear and feel music differently. That was amazing.
Just saw him for the first time last night... and I am regretting that I have not saw him before.. He put on a good show in spite of the change in his voice.
Let's me know...Spring time is near. One of those songs you just start driving and open the sunroof, roll the windows down, while the sun is out... and just ride!!
+brensboy12 Those shows were incredible. They not only sounded even BETTER THAN THE RECORDS but there is something about Frankie's voice and their music that made it seem like they were singing to you, not a crowd of people.....

Kids follow what they parents play alot. That's history of generations. 💯

Keep on riding, and roll as long as you can, we'll be right there with you for the party!! Thanks, MAZE for this body of work and for those fantastic shows!!!! TISH
A great tribute to these guys after 35 years on BET AWARDS tonight!!!
Voice is so silky. Thank the heavens for UA-cam. I love appreciating the past of talented times not to be forgotten. Sunshine and rain...JOY...

Great Singer/Songwriter with a great band period....never heard a bad song by these guys. In my top 3 all time soul groups/bands.
OMG old school singers, groups and the bands who play with them are the best. Their sound is so authentic and sound so good.....love it!
This is true talent. Playing multiple instruments and maintaining quality vocals during a live performance.
This is truly an all time jam. Frankie is one of the first to get his audience involved in his message. God bless for allowing me to witness this artist.

Maze was probably the best band of its time and too this day no one puts on a show like Maze. I saw them in St. Louis and it was majic
You really need to see Maze play live to appreciate just how good they are. One of a kind and never out of date, live they are quite simply fantastic.
love can be bitter,love can sweet but Maze feat . Frankie Beverley will always make you smile.
FANTASTIC! No one can sound like Maze. No one.
Sweet, sweet Frankie and and wonderful Maze!!! I love this Classic from them, it, no they are timeless TREASURES for us to enjoy. And believe me, I really do!!! Thanks for the post.

One of the heavy weights has gone on another journey you will be missed but your music lives on🎶🎵🎶🙏

Maze is a Legend Next to Legendary Music artist of all time Chic,Michael Jackson & The Isley Brothers and Earth,Wind & Fire & Lakeside.
Seen Maze twice, this song is an absolute classic, it just takes me back to The Blue Note Club on a Friday night in Derby.
Maze ft Frankie Beverly are my favorite Soul and funk band. We need another band to patern after them. I love the style and the lyrics.

@OfficerGiles5 i'm with u I'm 15 and i can't stop listening to old school music. i'm a musician so i love live music
When u hear that Roland cr-78 drum machine kick in on the beginning of the song you know what time it is!!!
They always gave a GREAT show!!!
The Best band in the land !
Real Music.
Maz, Frankie Beverly sooooooooooooooooooooo Amazing. Now that music.It will never die .AMAZING thank you
Beautiful...just beautiful....
Fine music and a fine looking man!
Crowd kept the beat going after the band stopped playing. Black people this is something that is unique to us. We hear and feel music differently. That was amazing.
Whats race got to do with it :s
Just saw him for the first time last night... and I am regretting that I have not saw him before.. He put on a good show in spite of the change in his voice.
Don't agree with that comment at all....racist....I am white and feel just as strong about Frankie if not stronger so button it buddy.
Melvin's comment was not racist at all.. the funny thing is you'd have to be black to understand his statement.lol I get it. his comment is true
Very true every day of the week. Black people can have things that are unique to them without anybody else feeling slighted. *shoulder shrug*
my hands ALWAYS FLY UP on this song..even when im driving! I LOVE IT a true classic!
That voice!!! So smooth...my oh my...
Let's me know...Spring time is near. One of those songs you just start driving and open the sunroof, roll the windows down, while the sun is out... and just ride!!
I want to be 14 again....!!...damn...and I'm 50 now....my brother, my Picasso, turned me on to so much beautiful music..may he RIP..
uj>i>iiuijhu
anna horwath damn u look good for 50 mah.
Never seen a crowd move and sing so much.
+Abbey Dale I Was thinking the same thing.boy I still hear stories from the older brothers that went to see him in the 80s
+brensboy12 Those shows were incredible. They not only sounded even BETTER THAN THE RECORDS but there is something about Frankie's voice and their music that made it seem like they were singing to you, not a crowd of people.....
This is what I call a legendary performance and good music
Ryan 19
Love this . Such a amazing song..Great blessings to you all.2020
The best first date I've ever had was a Maze Featuring Frankie Beverly.
This is how you rock a live show !
This song puts a smile on my face and a song in my heart
Love this voice,music and so much more music of those days,so sweat to the Soul
Still AMAZING after all these years
