"'''Stay'''" is a 1992 single from the album ''[[Hormonally Yours]]'' by Irish/US pop duo [[Shakespears Sister]]. "Stay" was the second single release from the second Shakespears Sister album ''[[Hormonally Yours]]'' and is the duo's most recognised song. "Stay" is one of the longest running UK number ones in chart history (it stayed 8 weeks at #1), and the longest by any girl group or duo.
Due to the absence of any clear front-runner for the nomination, a record number of Democrats competed for their party's presidential nomination in 1976. Most of these candidates would drop out early in the race.


The 1976 campaign featured a record number of state primaries and caucuses, and it was the first presidential campaign in which the primary system was dominant. However, most of the Democratic candidates failed to realize the significance of the increased number of primaries, or the importance of creating momentum by winning the early contests. The one candidate who did see the opportunities in the new nominating system was Jimmy Carter, a former [[Georgia State Senate|state senator]] and [[Governor of Georgia]]. Carter, who was virtually unknown at the national level, would never have gotten the Democratic nomination under the old, boss-dominated nominating system, but given the public disgust with political corruption following Nixon's resignation, Carter realized that his obscurity and "fresh face" could be an asset in the primaries. Carter's plan was to run in all of the primaries and caucuses, beginning with the [[Iowa caucus]], and build up momentum by winning "somewhere" each time primary elections were held. Carter startled many political experts by finishing second in the Iowa caucuses (where he came in second to "''uncommitted''"). Carter then won the [[New Hampshire primary]], thus proving that a Southerner could win in the North. He then proceeded to slowly but steadily accumulate delegates in primaries around the nation. He also knocked his key rivals out of the race one by one. He defeated [[George Wallace]] in the North Carolina primary, thus eliminating his main rival in the South. He defeated Senator [[Henry "Scoop" Jackson]] in Pennsylvania, thus forcing Jackson to quit the race. In the Wisconsin primary Carter scored an impressive come-from-behind victory over Arizona Congressman [[Morris Udall]], thus eliminating Udall as a serious contender. As Carter closed in on the nomination, an "ABC" (Anybody But Carter) movement started among Northern and Western liberal Democrats who worried that Carter's Southern upbringing would make him too conservative for the Democratic Party. The leaders of the "ABC" movement - Idaho Senator [[Frank Church]] and California Governor [[Jerry Brown]] - both announced their candidacies for the Democratic nomination and defeated Carter in several late primaries. However, their campaigns both started too late to prevent Carter from gathering the remaining delegates he needed to capture the nomination.
Written by band members Siobhan Fahey (formerly of Bananarama) and American singer/songwriter Marcella Detroit; Fahey's then husband, [[David A. Stewart|Dave Stewart]], also assisted in the writing (inititaly he used a pseudonym). "Stay" became one of the 90's biggest hits in the UK.


=== Democratic Party nomination ===
== Songwriting ==
Siobhan Fahey's role in the song was to deliver a short passage to the body of the song - sung by Marcella Detroit. [[David A. Stewart|Dave Stewart]] of [[Eurythmics]] (and Fahey's then husband) and Detroit wrote the music and words to the first part and Fahey wrote those to her lines. Stewart wanted the public to hear Detroit's impressive range.


Democratic candidates
This is the song that Fahey had least involvement with and least desire to release - as she felt it "didn't represent Shakespears Sister"{{Fact|date=July 2007}}.


* [[Jimmy Carter]], former U.S. governor [[Georgia]]
Fahey said in 2002; '....I was like what's going to happen here....but everybody loved the record, so I just had to go with it....!'
* [[Morris Udall]], U.S. representative from [[Arizona]]
* [[Jerry Brown]], U.S. governor of [[California]]
* [[Henry M. Jackson]], U.S. senator from [[Washington]]
* [[George Wallace]], U.S. governor of [[Alabama]]
* [[Frank Church]], U.S. senator from [[Idaho]]
* [[Robert Byrd]], U.S. senator from [[West Virginia]]
* [[Sargent Shriver]], former U.S. ambassador to France from [[Maryland]]
* [[Fred Harris]], former U.S. senator from [[Oklahoma]]
* [[Birch Bayh]], U.S. senator from [[Indiana]]
* [[Lloyd Bentsen]], U.S. senator from [[Texas]]
* [[Terry Sanford]], former [[Governor of Georgia]]


<gallery>
This single was the only Shakespears Sister song that featured [[Marcella Detroit]] more prominently on vocals than [[Siobhan Fahey]], with Detroit singing the verses and lead [[refrain|chorus]] and Fahey singing the song's [[Bridge (music)|bridge]]. Reportedly, when the single went on to become the duo's biggest hit internationally, reaching No 1 on the [[UK singles chart]], as well as No 1 in [[Ireland]]'s Single Chart,No 4 on the US [[Billboard Hot 100]] and No 1 in Sweden, this furthered the tension that was mounting between the two musicians. Incidentally, the success of the single and the imagery of its video turned the press focus on Detroit as an "angel with a beautiful voice" and Fahey as a "witch from hell". {{Fact|date=February 2007}}

==== Potential candidates who did not run ====
== Release ==
The first single from ''Hormonally Yours'', "Goodbye Cruel World", was not a success but as soon as a demo was made for "Stay" it was viewed a potential hit by friends of Fahey and Detroit. The song was released on [[January 25]], [[1992]] and within two weeks reached number one in the UK charts. As a result, there was a rouse of interest in Shakespears Sister, which had not been seen since the success of "You're History" (a song which was often compared to "Stay"). As a result, Fahey and Detroit made numerous TV appearances including ''[[Top of the Pops]]'', the ''[[Chart Show]]'', [[MTV]], and ''[[Late Night with David Letterman]]''.


<gallery>
The song was also released overseas; the US; Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, Japan. In all countries, it succeeded well in the charts and certainly made Shakespears Sister well-known worldwide. After a number one focus on Shakespears Sister increased as did the bands credibility. Sell out tours and numerous TV appearances were a regular occurrence throughout 1992 and so subsequent singles were well received by the media. The next single "I Don't Care" was a top 10 hit.

==Primaries==
The success of "Stay" prompted a re-issue of the single "Goodbye Cruel World", which had been issued prior to "Stay" as the lead-off single from ''Hormonally Yours'' but did not fare well.


===Statewide contest by winner===
Following the success of "Stay" and the ''Hormonally Yours'' album Detroit was forced to leave the band as Fahey wanted to carry on as a solo artist. Neither Fahey nor Detroit have been able to duplicate the success of "Stay".

=== Special packaging ===
Assured of the potential success of "Stay", London released the single in a special two-part Digi-pak sleeve. The first part came in the fold-out cardboard [[digi-pak]] which featured lyrics and a picture on the inside of Fahey and Detroit from the promo-video. This CD featured "Stay" on tracks one and two and "The Trouble With Andre" on track three. The second CD, issued a week later, featured four tracks including a compilation of various tracks from the album (to aid its promotion). This CD came in a slip-card case and was a picture disc which fitted into the digi-pack. Overseas issues were not in the form of a digi-pak and consisted of the standard CD case with the same three tracks on all issues.

=== Video ===
|+
The award-winning [[Sophie Muller]] directed the promo video for this track. The concept of the video was inspired by the film "Catwomen From the Moon" and reconstituted and incorporated by Detroit's husband, Lance Aston. It was, however, banned in Germany, due to its resurrection scenes, which further increased attention about the release. {{Fact|date=February 2007}}. The male in the video was played by Dave Evans, former boyfriend of Fahey's Bananarama bandmate [[Keren Woodward]]. <ref>[http://www.bananaramauk.com/html/discography/singles/morethanphysical/mtpmain.html Bananaramauk.Com<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

'''Carter'''
The video, which saw Detroit and Fahey fight over an unwell man, was banned in Germany where they believed they were portraying of "raising the dead" and that Detroit and Fahey were witches. This controversy did the song no harm - it climbed to the Top 20 in the German charts.

==Democratic National Convention==
[[Category:1992 singles]]
The [[1976 Democratic National Convention]] was held in [[New York City]]. By the time the convention opened Carter already had more than enough delegates to win the nomination, and so the major emphasis at the convention was to create an appearance of party unity, which had been lacking in the 1968 and 1972 Democratic Conventions. Carter easily won the nomination on the first ballot; he then chose Senator [[Walter Mondale]] of Minnesota, a liberal and a protege of Hubert Humphrey, as his running mate.

Statewide contest by winner

Due to the absence of any clear front-runner for the nomination, a record number of Democrats competed for their party's presidential nomination in 1976. Most of these candidates would drop out early in the race.

The 1976 campaign featured a record number of state primaries and caucuses, and it was the first presidential campaign in which the primary system was dominant. However, most of the Democratic candidates failed to realize the significance of the increased number of primaries, or the importance of creating momentum by winning the early contests. The one candidate who did see the opportunities in the new nominating system was Jimmy Carter, a former state senator and Governor of Georgia. Carter, who was virtually unknown at the national level, would never have gotten the Democratic nomination under the old, boss-dominated nominating system, but given the public disgust with political corruption following Nixon's resignation, Carter realized that his obscurity and "fresh face" could be an asset in the primaries. Carter's plan was to run in all of the primaries and caucuses, beginning with the Iowa caucus, and build up momentum by winning "somewhere" each time primary elections were held. Carter startled many political experts by finishing second in the Iowa caucuses (where he came in second to "uncommitted"). Carter then won the New Hampshire primary, thus proving that a Southerner could win in the North. He then proceeded to slowly but steadily accumulate delegates in primaries around the nation. He also knocked his key rivals out of the race one by one. He defeated George Wallace in the North Carolina primary, thus eliminating his main rival in the South. He defeated Senator Henry "Scoop" Jackson in Pennsylvania, thus forcing Jackson to quit the race. In the Wisconsin primary Carter scored an impressive come-from-behind victory over Arizona Congressman Morris Udall, thus eliminating Udall as a serious contender. As Carter closed in on the nomination, an "ABC" (Anybody But Carter) movement started among Northern and Western liberal Democrats who worried that Carter's Southern upbringing would make him too conservative for the Democratic Party. The leaders of the "ABC" movement - Idaho Senator Frank Church and California Governor Jerry Brown - both announced their candidacies for the Democratic nomination and defeated Carter in several late primaries. However, their campaigns both started too late to prevent Carter from gathering the remaining delegates he needed to capture the nomination.
