After moving to San Francisco and an introduction to Marvin Gaye, Maze later released nine Gold albums and created a large and devoted following.

Howard Stanley Beverly was born in Philadelphia[1] and began singing gospel music as a schoolboy in a local church.

[3] Music performed by The Butlers did not fit into the "Philly Sound"[citation needed] and, after some heavy touring, the group went to San Francisco.

[1] The group's popularity was enhanced considerably in the UK by DJs Greg Edwards and Robbie Vincent in the late 1970s and early 1980s when they performed live at London's Lyceum Ballroom for broadcast on Capital Radio.

Beverly's onstage attire (all-white custom-designed and made casual clothing, including slacks, a long-sleeved shirt, and a baseball cap) became his signature dress style over the years.

Mary J. Blige, Kenneth Brian Edmonds (Babyface), and Mint Condition were among the artists taking part in the album.
