Stay with me

Co-written by Jerry Ragovoy and George David Weiss, this 1966 recording was produced by Ragovoy with a 46-piece orchestra and engineered by Phil Ramone after a canceled Frank Sinatra session. The track reached #11 on the Billboard R&B chart and #64 on the Hot 100, becoming Ellison's signature song with vocals described as 'possibly the best female vocal ever' that rise to a crescendo with each chorus.
