Frankie Beverly started out as a gospel singer in church when he was a young boy, he was greatly impressed by Frankie Lymon and The Teenagers. His first group was known as The Blenders but did not last long after that he founded another group known as The Butlers, their first recording was done in 1963. They caught the attention of veteran producer Kenny Gamble who released recordings by the group. The group relocated to California after some intense touring. The group was renamed as Raw Soul, the group caught the attention of a sister-in-law of Marvin Gaye, he was so taken in by their performance that he featured them as an opening act at his shows. Frankie Beverly changed the bands name to Maze after Gaye managed to convince him to do so. Frankie Beverly's distinctive on stage attire is slacks, long sleeved shirt and baseball cap all white and casual.

Marvin Gaye introduced the group to Capitol Records' then VP of black music Larkin Arnold, Capitol Records and Maze signed a contract in 1976, their initial album LP was released in 1977 Maze featuring Frankie Beverly. Hit singles from that album like Lady pf Magic, Happy Feelin's, and While I'm Alone, earned them their first gold record, and an overwhelming devoted audience. Live in New Orleans was their most acclaimed recording, three of those songs rose up the R&B charts. This landmark recording made audiences realize that Frankie Beverly and Maze were far more than just a studio recording group; they were considered by the music media to be quintessential icons live in concert.

The band earned its name by being one of the best live acts in American soul music and closely followed in the United Kingdom by being given good promotion by British DJ Robbie Vincent. They joined Warner Brothers in 1999, and released the hit album Silky Soul, and Back to basics in 1993. The live DVD recording at London's Hammersmith Odeon was released in 1994, these two albums cut with Warner Brothers have also gone gold.

In March 1985 the group made a big splash with their LP Can't Stop The Love, which featured the group's first number one R&B smash hit Back in Stride with its dynamic rhythm was number one for two straight weeks. Another one of their great hits after signing up with Warner Bros was Can't get over you which is a must at all their concerts. Essence Music Festival is held annually and Maze is featured as the closing act, they continue to tour around Europe and the United States.
