LORRAINE ELLISON: THE SONG THAT ROCKED
posted by O.W.


I just got back from watching this early cut of The Boat that Rocked which is about the offshore British pirate stations of the mid-1960s.

The movie had its problems but of course, it's an early cut so hopefully, they'll iron those out. The more important thing is that, thanks to it, I heard, for the first time, this song:

Lorraine Ellison: Stay With Me Baby
From 7" (Loma, 1966). Also on Stay With Me: The Best Of.


This song is epic and a definite face-melter. How have I never heard this before? I feel so unworthy of its greatness.
