Maryland Pierce

Maryland and family, as you can tell by my name, i love doowop music. The five keys are my favorite group. Doc Dixon was a very good friend to me and the times you came to Pittsburgh, would take the group to lunch and just spend time. I know you are all enjoying music in heaven.

So sorry to hear of your loss. I was listening to the Five Keys and looked up Maryland Pierce and saw this news a year later. I had the honor of speaking with him years ago on the telephone.

So sorry to learn of your loss. My dad Bernard West and Maryland spent many years together perfecting the Five Keys sound and the legacy of that great group. He is the last member of the group to pass as my dad passed December 2018. Maryland consoled my mom several times after his passing, always ending the conversation giving God all the glory. Our family send condolences and prayers to all of you.

Condolences on the passing of Maryland. I didn´t know him personally but I am thankful for all the memories he has given me through his music over the years I will always cherish it

I love being able to say I was lucky enough to have dinner with Maryland when the Five Keys came to Pittsburgh. They are my favorite group! Loved sending Christmas cards and pictures. Rest in peace.
