![Maze featuring Frankie Beverly We are One
LP We Are One Capitol Records 1983
www.bluesandsoul.info
credits:
Written-By – Frankie Beverly
notes:
We Are One is a soulful R&B classic by Maze featuring Frankie Beverly,
released in 1983 on the We Are One album. Known for its heartfelt
lyrics and smooth grooves, the track celebrates unity and love in the
face of life’s everyday challenges.
The song opens with introspective lines reflecting on how people
sometimes hurt each other and play “silly, silly games,” yet ultimately
reaffirms that “we are one” — a message of shared humanity and compassion.
Frankie Beverly’s expressive vocals and the band’s rich musical
arrangement helped make this track a beloved favorite among
R&B and soul fans, and it still inspires listeners with its uplifting
message of connection and understanding.
