The singer passed away on September 10, 2024. His family shared the news about his demise on social media.
Beverly gave the nation nine Gold albums under his band between 1977 and 1993, the most glorious days of his musical career.
“Happy Feelin’s”, “Joy and Pain”, “The Morning After”, “While I’m Alone”, “Can’t Get Over You”, “Southern Girl”, “The Look in Your Eyes”, “We Are One” and “Back in Stride” are still alive in our hearts.
One of his songs “Before I Let Go” from the album “Live in New Orleans” gained the #13 spot on the Billboard R&B in 1981, gaining worldwide traction.
“I had no idea that it was gonna be what it turned out to be…It just shocked me.”
In 2019, Beyonce voiced the song in her documentary concert film “Homecoming” and performed it live during her world tour in 2023.
Beverly’s custom-designed all-white casual attire (long-sleeved shirt, slacks & baseball cap) inspired the audience to sport all-white during his concerts.
We pay homage to the legendary artist, may his soul rest in peace.
