#743 - Maurice Williams

The Maurice Williams Interview is featured on The Paul Leslie Hour!

We’ve got a great interview that was originally conducted for the radio with the one and only Maurice Williams. Born in Lancaster, South Carolina, he’s the lead singer of Maurice Williams & The Zodiacs.

Paul met Maurice Williams in Savannah, Georgia years ago. It was a chance encounter and it lead to this interview. Maurice Williams is a great songwriter and wrote such classics as “Stay” and “Little Darlin’” The song “Stay” at 1 minute, 36 seconds is the shortest song ever to reach #1 on the Billboat Hot 100 chart in the United States. Did you know that?

Now, “Stay” is a song that has had a lot of action through the years. It’s been recorded by the Hollies, Jackson Browne, the Four Seasons. Of course it was in that movie “Dirty Dancing.”  And “Little Darlin’” was covered by The Diamonds, The Monkees, and it appeared on the final Elvis Presley album.
