Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has always referred to himself as an "old soul" when it comes to how he chooses to live every day life and his taste in music taste, which is why he was in attendance at Frankie Beverly and Maze's farewell show in Philly on Saturday.
Hurts, who rocked an all-white outfit in honor of the famous musician's style, went on stage to give a heartfelt speech, emphasizing the impact that Frankie Beverly and Maze have not only had on the City of Brotherly Love but also his personal life.
“I might have a lot of people in this crowd saying, ‘Well, what is Jalen doing here? This is too far beyond his time,’” Hurts said. “But I was just raised the right way, and when I tell you Frankie Beverly and Maze have a song for every emotion — ‘Joy and Pain,’ ‘We Are One,’ ‘Golden Time of Day,’ ‘While I’m Alone,’ it goes on and on. I’m so thankful for the person you’ve been for me through your music and what you’ve done to inspire me to keep going, to persevere, to have gratitude, to show appreciation for my loved ones, the people around me, and great music. I just want to say on behalf of Philly. Everyone here in this community, we wanted to thank you.”
Hurts was joined by his girlfriend, Bry Burrows, who was also dressed in all-white for the special occasion.
While Frankie Beverly and Maze won't be making more music after 50 years of creating, you can bet that Hurts will still be bumping the classics as a part of his game day routine.
