Notes
One of the best albums Billie made during the later stage of her career, Stay With Me derives from a 1955 session that only produced the seven songs on the album. It features her backed by such stars as trumpeter Charlie Shavers, clarinettist Tony Scott, tenor saxophonist Budd Johnson, and pianist Billy Taylor.
