"Come and Stay with Me" is a pop song, written by Jackie DeShannon in 1965 for the British singer Marianne Faithfull. It became one of her biggest hits, peaking #4 at United Kingdom.[1]
Background[edit]
Faithfull's former manager Tony Calder told Mojo magazine in September 2008 that the song was written in Los Angeles, where he was with Jimmy Page who had an affair with DeShannon: "One night I couldn't get into our hotel room because Jimmy and Jackie DeShannon were shagging. So I yelled, 'When you've finished could you write a song for Marianne?'"[2] DeShannon came up with this song plus with Page an album track, "In My Time of Sorrow."
