Milan Williams, one of the founding members of the Commodores, has died aged 58. Williams played keyboards in the Commodores, who, of course, rose to fame with a string of seventies hits after signing to Motown subsidiary MoWest in 1972.
Paying tribute to his former bandmate, fellow Commodore Watler 'Clyde' Orange yesterday told reporters: "He was once, twice, three times a brother and we love him. He gave all that he could give to the Commodores. He'll always be remembered."
