Maurice Williams, the singer of the iconic doo-wop hit 'Stay,' transformed personal experiences into music, crafting a song that resonated widely and became a classic.
'Stay' was inspired by a moment in his youth when his girlfriend was about to leave his house, leading to the creation of its famous line.
Mr. Williams noted the distinctive short length of 'Stay' was intentional, aiming for more radio play: 'We wanted to make it short so it would get more airplay.'
His song 'Stay' achieved immense popularity and became a cover-song staple, recorded by various artists including the Four Seasons and Jackson Browne.
