In a world of many legends and icons, there is only one Frankie Beverly.

With sounds that have a proven ability to soothe and transcend generations, Mr. Beverly is a significant part of Black America’s soundtrack. The front man of the incomparable Frankie Beverly and Maze is the “Ambassador Of Soul” whose music can change the atmosphere of any celebration.

Sadly, we lost the music icon on September 10th, 2024. Although no longer here in the physical form, his music will undoubtedly live on not only in those who grew up to his music, but later generations at parties, reunions, weddings and kickbacks from coast to coast. Here in H-Town, Mr. Beverly was given a series of honorable tributes on Friday, September 20th. Following his passing, that date was designated as “National Whiteout for Frankie,” and fans everywhere were asked to don Frankie’s signature look – crisp white from head to toe. Keeping in theme, Majic 102.1’s popular Open Mic Night at Rockhouse Southern Kitchen (6025 Richmond Ave.) brought the people out Friday evening as station talents Kandi Eastman, KG Smooth, Madd Hatta, AV and Program Director Yonni Rude greeted attendees.

The music series allows local singers to compete for a cash prize plus the chance to perform at Majic Under The Stars, which takes place on October 12 and features Boyz II Men, Robin Thicke and 112. In addition to the competition, Frankie melodies filled the room a fitting tribute to a musical act that gave so much to black music.

Online, listeners hit the Majic Facebook page to share not only their love of Frankie, but photos of them sporting his traditional all white look.
