Ellison recorded "Stay with Me" at a last-minute booking, following a studio cancellation by Frank Sinatra. [3] With a 46-piece orchestra already hired, Warner Bros. Records asked Ragovoy, with two days' notice, to take over the session at no cost. Ragovoy and arranger Garry Sherman worked up an orchestral arrangement of the song, and called Ellison into the studio to record it live with the orchestra. The recording was engineered by Phil Ramone. [4] Described as 'possibly the best female vocal ever', [5] "Stay with Me" is recognized for Ellison's impassioned vocals, which rise to a sonic and emotional crescendo with each chorus. Years later, the Ramones' lead singer Joey Ramone said of her performance, "I woulda stayed." a b c d Roberts, David (2006). British Hit Singles & Albums (19thed.).

The trio split up in 1968, with all three members pursuing solo projects to varying degrees of success. They eventually reunited in the mid- to late 1970s and scored a final top-10 UK hit with " No Regrets". After releasing the critically acclaimed but commercially unsuccessful album Nite Flights, in 1978, the group again disbanded. John Walker remained active in the music business and toured as a solo act until his death in 2011. Scott Walker resumed his solo career and gained recognition as an experimental artist; he died in 2019, leaving Gary Walker as the last surviving member. Thomas Erlewine, Stephen.
