They had been playing around town for a few years, so everybody knew them. Then one day they were on the radio! Man, that was a big deal to us. lol<br /> They had the original recording of "Little Darlin`" in 1957. Later that same year, The Diamonds, a group that specialized in covering Black artists songs, cause they knew they could get the airplay that the Black singers couldn`t, recorded their version of this song. Of course The Diamonds version became the hit. A few years later The Gladiolas changed their name to Maurice Williams and The Zodiacs and had a #1 Billboard<br /> hit with "Stay". Maurice is still singing today. He has to be at least 70 by now. He attends the same church as my ex.
