Maurice Williams was born in Lancaster, South Carolina in 1940. Musically inclined from an early age, he started learning the piano from his older sister in the late 1940's, practicing daily so that by the time he was 10 years. Williams had sung in church, but his interest lay more in popular music, and in 1953, he and his friends were ready to form a group that they called the Royal Charms, later to become The Zodiacs.
