Lorraine Ellison: Lorraine Ellison
Bob Woffinden, NME, 7 September 1974
THE STORY so far: in 1966 Lorraine Ellison made one vast contribution to popular mythology with 'Stay With Me, Baby', unquestionably a classic (maybe this is an opportune moment to re-release it) which has never been quite forgotten by anyone who's ever heard it, and which has the singular distinction of never having been a chart success, either here or in the States.
