MAZE featuring FRANKIE BEVERLY - WE ARE ONE

Just to prove a point - to those of you who still may be sceptics.
Here's 
 MAZE featuring FRANKIE BEVERLY  again.

I do understand that the majority of people I talk to (of all ages) have never heard of  MAZE featuring FRANKIE BEVERLY.  Those same people are unaware that in the late 70's & 1980's the musical ensemble was adored by millions of NEW WORLD AFRICAN MUSIC fans around the world.   This lack of popular acceptance may have something to do with the (already stated) fact that pop stations of the day turned a blind eye to their soothing soulful musical output.  I haven't a clue why pop stations, the same ones that were playing EARTH, WIND & FIREGEORGE DUKE, SHALAMAR and HEATWAVE, didn't program MAZE - but they didn't.   

One things fo' sho', after watching the videos, I know you'll say you don't know why they didn't receive airplay either . . .
