Sept. 11, 2024 – Frankie Beverly, the lead singer and songwriter of the band Maze, whose songs, including “Golden Time of Day,” “Joy and Pain” and “Happy Feelin’s,” provided the soundtrack to countless summer cookouts and family reunions for more than five decades, died on Tuesday.

His death was announced in a statement by his family on his Instagram account. The statement did not say where he died or cite a cause.

He had said that he would retire after going on the road one last time.
