1972-Number 6 single.
Best Bit-At 3.19 and again at 3.41 and again at 3.52 and again at 4.02 and again at 4.13.
‘Stay with Me’ was co-written by Rod Stewart(see also best songs 965-565-206 and 179) and guitarist Ronnie Wood.The song tells of a one night stand where Stewart tells us how to pick up a groupie,he makes it very clear that she must be gone in the morning ,although he does offer to pay her cab fare home.He notes her ‘red lips,hair and fingernails’ and repeats the rumour that she’s a ‘mean old Jezebel.’Stewart had just had a Number 1 song with ‘Maggie May’ which was based on a true story,where he had been the subject of a sexual conquest by an older woman.A psychiatrist could write a whole thesis on this.
The Faces were formed in 1969 by Ian McLagan(1945-2014) Ronnie Lane(1946-1997,) and Kenney Jones,who had all been members of the very successful Rock group the Small Faces(see also best songs 872.)They were joined by Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood who had just left the Jeff Beck Group.Together they released four studio Albums between 1970-1973,before they split in 1975.
‘In the morning don’t say you love me,’cause I’ll only kick you out of the door.’
