Formado inicialmente en Carolina del Sur en 1957 con el nombre de The Royal Charms, el grupo vocal de doo wop y R&B de Maurice Williams cambió su nombre por el de The Gladiolas and The Excellos antes de decidirse finalmente por el de Maurice Williams and The Zodiacs en 1959. Maurice Williams y su amigo de la infancia Earl Gainey se habían pasado al R&B cuando ya habían adoptado la música doo wop. Los miembros del grupo se juntaron cuando aún estaban en el instituto y la primera formación también incluía a Norman Wade, Willie Jones y William Massey. Su primer roce con el éxito llegó cuando todavía actuaban como The Gladiolas, y consiguieron un número 41 con la canción "Little Darlin'" Sin embargo, su versión fue superada en las listas de éxitos por el grupo canadiense de doo-wop The Diamonds. Tras graduarse en el instituto, el grupo cambió de nombre y pasó a llamarse Maurice Williams and The Zodiacs. Sin embargo, el grupo original se separó y Maurice Williams formó una nueva formación con Henry Gaston, Wiley Bennet y Charles Thomas (Albert Hill y Little Willie Morrow se unirían más tarde al grupo). Este nuevo grupo entró en el estudio y grabó varias canciones, entre ellas "Stay", que Maurice Williams había escrito varios años antes. El grupo lanzó dos sencillos sin éxito - "College Girl" de 1959 y "Lover (Where Are You)"- antes de conseguir finalmente un éxito con su tercer sencillo, "Stay" La canción llegó al número 1 de la lista Hot 100 y se considera la canción más corta de la historia, con una duración de 1:36. Sin embargo, los siguientes sencillos no lograron un éxito significativo y Maurice Williams and The Zodiacs se convirtieron en una maravilla de un solo éxito. El líder y homónimo del grupo, Maurice Williams, falleció a la edad de 86 años el 5 de agosto de 2024.
