William Maybray

William Maybray, Jr.: "The Rapper" was written by Donnie Iris and featured Bill Maybray, Sr on drums. The song's premise was that of a guy who was your stereotypical self proclaimed 'God's gift to women.' The song was simply what Donnie and the rest of the Jaggerz saw in the clubs night after night. Guys trying to hit on women and using their best lines. Hence the now famous line of "Come Up To My Place, For Some Coffee, Tea, or Me....". And as the song states they're everywhere - "On A Bus, In A Bar, In A Grocery Store."
Any speculation that the song had any relation to Jack The Ripper or suggested the act of finding a girl and raping her is completely and totally false.
