about
Maurice Williams (born in Lancaster, South Carolina, on 26 April 1938; died 5 August 2024) was an American singer and songwriter remembered for his recordings as Maurice Williams & The Zodiacs and his songs such as "Little Darlin'", "Stay", and "May I". Williams formed his first group, The Royal Charms, during his teenage years. The group would later evolve into Maurice Williams & The Zodiacs. Williams wrote the song “Little Darlin” which became a hit for The Diamonds. In 1960, Maurice Williams & The Zodiacsreleased the single “Stay,” a doo-wop classic that soared to the top of the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming one of the shortest songs ever to achieve such a feat. Its enduring appeal saw it covered by numerous artists, including The Four Seasons and Jackson Browne, giving it new life several decades after initial release.
