This 45 by Frank Curt is completely obscure. Aside from the fact this it was cut in New York I can’t supply any details at all – but would love to hear from anybody who can. In any event Stay With Me fully deserves its place in these archives. It’s a highly melodic ballad full of atmosphere thanks to the sparing use of strings and some fine keyboard playing. Over this fine backing Curt uses his delicate tenor vocal to great effect, floating around the melody and using some great falsetto to add emphasis to the lyric.
Notes:
Mike Cassidy provided a link to the establishment of Right On by Farem productions in September 1970.
Pete Nickols noticed that "the song was apparently written by a Frank Brockington (could this even be Frank Curt's real name?)." This led him to a single produced by Clip Hightower -
"You'll lose a good thing" / "Instrumental" (SOUTH CENTRAL 1000)
Mark Dobson shared this track with me but we are unable to definitely say whether the singer is Frank Curt, although there are similarities in the vocal approach.
Can anyone offer any further help on this?
