Maurice Williams

Clarence Carter

Maurice Williams & The Zodiacs with Clarence Carter f

Maurice Williams is one of the most extraordinarily durable figures in the history of classic rhythm-and-blues and rock 'n roll. "Stay," became a number one mega-hit upon its release on the R & B charts. The group formed in the 1950’s in the Carolina’s. Clarence Carter’s soulful guitar work intertwined with his sexy lyrics, reminds us that you don't have to be down to sing the blues. Carter’s hit singles “Strokin and Slip Away” both show an artist steeped in the most traditional aspects of Southern music and one of the most modern of all deep bluesmen. Carter's musical approach harkened directly back to acoustic country blues. In Carter's case, love, particularly cheating love, became the great spiritual metaphor.
