As we gather to reflect on the life and legacy of Frankie Beverly, my heart is filled with gratitude for the timeless music he gifted us, songs that have been the soundtrack to so many special moments. His voice carried the power of unity, love, and togetherness, and I know we all felt that deeply through songs like We Are One, Golden Time of Day, and Before I Let Go.
Through his music, Frankie brought us closer, reminding us of the beauty in our shared experiences and the warmth we find in each other’s company. In We Are One, he called us to live with compassion and unity, transcending the barriers that separate us. Golden Time of Day reminded us to cherish the quiet moments, those sacred spaces of reflection where we can find peace. And Before I Let Go—well, that was always a celebration of life, love, and joy, a reminder to hold tight to the things and people that matter most.
As we mourn his passing, let us honor his legacy by living out the lessons he taught us through his music. Let us find ways to come closer together, to live in unity and harmony as he guided us to do. Frankie Beverly’s music will continue to echo in our hearts, and in that music, we will always find kinship, a connection that transcends time and space.
May we carry his message forward—one of love, one of unity, and one of celebration—and let his spirit live on in every note we sing, every dance we share, and every moment we gather in his name.
Rest in peace, Frankie. You’ve left us with the melodies of a lifetime.
