It is a little unnerving when a career that began in 1977 is described as having spanned "five decades." Am I that old? Anyway, I do remember the band name "Maze," but don't recall ever hearing their music- and I WAS following pop music at that time.
OK, I looked it up and it's another "rap is 50 years old" scam: the band had songs on the charts from 1978 to 1990, which sure ain't five decades! Not only that, the songs were only on the R&B charts- not a single one made the top 40. And not only THAT, even on the R&B charts, they only had one hit, charting at 14, the rest were WAY down the scale!
In other words, like the supposed popularity of rap, total BS!
But he's black,so media gets their collective bullhorns out. Maze is a another "legend" who doesn't need mentioning.
