"Back In Stride," Maze featuring Frankie Beverly (4/13/85)
Beverly's the great unknown man of R&B - he and his band tour black America like Jimmy Buffet, selling few records (though nearly every album in their catalog's at least gone gold) while selling out shows upon shows, all the while never coming within spitting distance of a crossover hit. "Back" shows exactly why they're so popular in their sphere, however, as it strikes a perfect balance between funky (bassline) and smooth (keybs) R&B. B+
