That Other PlaceOct 14

This week's #TuneTuesday theme is #BigCrescendos. This classic soul record certainly has lots of them:

Lorraine Ellison: Stay With Me (1966)

The record has divided the opinions of soul fans over the years - for example, Dave Godin (who coined the term 'deep soul') found it too contrived for his taste.

"Stay With Me" was produced by Jerry Ragovoy and arranged by Garry Sherman, who both had a great track record with this kind of material.
