Come and Stay With Me is a pop song, written by Jackie DeShannon in 1965 for British singer Marianne Faithfull. It became one of her biggest hits, peaking #4 at United Kingdom.[1]
Background
Faithfull's former manager Tony Calder told "Mojo" magazine 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."
