Rest In Paradise, McKinley “Bug” Williams (of Maze)

TMOTTGoGo

We remember Vocalist/Percussionist McKinley “Bug” Williams, an original member of Maze featuring Frankie Beverly. A man from the band that kept DC in the groove for over 30 years.  Not to mention my personal Number #1 Favorite Band of All Time. Williams passed away September 3, 2011 due to a heart attack. He was with Frankie Beverly as the group went through several transitions, including their days as “Raw Soul” and the group’s mentoring by the late Marvin Gaye.
