d. 31st January 1983.

Lorraine Ellison's full name is Marybelle Luraine Ellison Gonzalez-Keys (she was married twice) and was born and raised in Philadelphia.
Lorraine recorded with two gospel groups, the Ellison Singers and the Golden Chords, but left the latter in 1964 to pursue a solo career in R & B music.
She also sang with a group called the Sylvania Singers before forming the Ellison Singers.
'I Dig You Baby' (number 22 R & B) in 1965 was her first chart entry.
Lorraine signed with the Loma imprint, and had a fortunate break when Frank Sinatra cancelled a studio recording, leaving an orchestra with nothing to do.
She stood in at the last minute and recorded the Soul Classic, 'Stay With Me'.
'Stay With Me' (number 11 R & B, number 64 pop) in 1966 was the song that really took her to another level.
'Stay With Me' was written and produced by Jerry Ragovoy and really helped establish and imbed Soul Music within the music industry.
'Heart Be Still' (number 43 R & B, number 89 pop), followed in 1967.
Lorraine never charted again, however, she released 'Try Just A Little Bit Harder' in 1968, which rock singer Janis Joplin later remade with great success.
Her compositions, on which she often collaborated with her manager, Sam Bell (of Garnet Mimms And The Enchanters fame), were recorded by Howard Tate and Garnet Mimms.
Lorraine has a surviving daughter named Tonya A. Ellison-Veal.
There are 2 remaining members of the original Ellison singers still getting on with day to day things, (Pauline Ellison-King & Jean Ellison-Dennison).
Lorraine gave up the music business in order to take care of her ailing mother, singing mostly in the Beth-el Baptist and Christlike Baptist Church before her death in 1983 of ovarian cancer.

Stay With Me Baby
Lorraine Ellison Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where did you go when things went wrong baby?
Who did you run to
And find a shoulder to lay your head upon?
Baby wasn't I there?
Didn't I take good care of ou?
No no, I can't believe you're leaving me
Stay with me baby
Please, stay with me baby

Ooh, stay with me baby
I can't go on
Who did you touch when you needed tenderness?
I gave you so much
And in return I found happiness
Baby what did I do
Maybe, maybe I was too good, too good to you

No no, I can't believe you're leaving me
Stay with me baby
Ooh, stay with me baby
Ooh, please stay with me baby
Remember you said you'd always gonna need me
Remember you said you'd never ever leave me
Remember, remember, I'm asking you, begging you, ooh, ooh
Stay with me baby,
Please please stay with me baby
Stay with me baby
I can't go on
Ooh stay with me baby

I'm begging you, stay with me baby
Stay, stay, stay with me baby...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lorraine Ellison's "Stay With Me Baby" narrate a heartbreaking plea from a woman begging her partner not to leave her in her time of need. The singer starts the song by questioning where her partner went when things went wrong and who they ran to for comfort. She expresses her confusion and disbelief, wondering if she didn't take good care of them and if she wasn't there for them when they needed her. She then implores them to stay with her, repeatedly pleading for them not to leave her alone.

The second verse continues the theme of the singer's confusion and frustration. She questions who her partner turned to when they needed tenderness and reminds them of all the love and happiness she has given them. She appears to be struggling to understand why they would leave her, going so far as to suggest that maybe she was too good to them. The chorus repeats, with the singer reiterating her desperate plea for her partner to stay with her and not leave her.

A quick FYI on this song.,.
Warner Bros had originally scheduled a recording session for Frank Sinatra ( this would have been in ‘66) and Sinatra cancelled at the last moment; and Lorraine was quickly scheduled in to use the studio time, And Warner Bros gave the session - at no cost to her producer, Jerry Ragovoy.
Because the 46 pc orchestra was already there and set up for the Sinatra session, Ragovoy decided to use them. He called in arranger Garry Sherman to arrange the orchestra parts, and Lorraine and the orchestra recorded the song together, everyone performing at the same time.
This was very rare, usually arrangements were written weeks before a recording session, and often the backing parts were recorded in advance, and the singer would come in later and overdub vocals. What Lorraine, Ragovoy, Sherman and the musicians accomplished at this last minute session is mind blowing. They captured lightning in a bottle when they recorded this song.
Anyhooo... just a few fun facts.
:)

Shattering! THE greatest Deep-Soul outing of all-time. Can never listen to this iconic track without tears welling-up! It is ENORMOUS! Production values, lyrics, Lorraine's deeply painful and sorrowful expression. It is the very meaning of "HURT!" No-one ever came near this with their inferior re-makes. It is classic and totally stratospheric. Music of the Gods! Thank you Lorraine and bless you. Bierney45 X

I first heard this on BBC television just after its release. It was played over a film of servicemen boarding a train ready to go to war. The vision and the song has stayed with me all these years. It is without doubt the most emotional song I have ever heard and I have heard a lot. No other version comes even close.

Such an INCREDIBLE vocal performance from Lorraine on this... so dynamic, so passionate, so emotional...and so exquisitely painful. The dynamics of this track are gorgeous, from both her and the musicians. This goes from a whisper to a scream, building as the song progresses. Dynamics like this seem to have gotten lost in music over the years. I don’t think it’s gone entirely, but it’s not common like it used to be. This is in my top five favorite female soul performances of all time.
