Maze and
Frankie Beverly had a lot to live up to when the time came to record a second album, and while
Golden Time of Day isn't quite as strong as their magnificent debut, it's nonetheless an excellent
soul/
funk offering.
Disco was still incredibly popular in 1978, but it had little impact on
Maze, which continued to avoid
disco's hyper tendencies and favored a comfortable, more relaxed
soul groove instead. The idealistic
"Workin' Together" (a call for unity) and the reflective title song were well received by black radio, and the poignant album track
"Song for My Mother" never became the hit single it should have been. On
pop stations,
Maze still couldn't get arrested. But a lack of
pop support certainly didn't prevent
Golden Time of Day from going gold.
