<br>Theres a song by a band called Tor from 1986 called Stay. I ordered the 45 cuz it was cheap. It looks like theres a guy named Tor who released rockabilly albums in the 90s but I dont think its the same person/band!

<br>Thats what we need! Ive tried to find old djs from those stations through the internet but I couldnt do it. It was most definitely recorded off one of those two according to the guy who first posted on his own site.

Last night I was surfing the internet, and I found a possibility.


Has anyone tried: Jeb Million - Second Time Around (1986)


I saw it as I was looking at the history of singles produced by stock, aitken & waterman. The song we're trying to figure out here doesn't exactly sound like something they'd produce. But I don't know.


Here's an article on the artist:

Doubt it:

Hadn't come across that one before though...

Here's part of a Jeb Million song I found. It can't be the same guy. [:(]

Updated list of who it isn't:


Modern Vision
Romance at Eleven
Aldo Nova
The Blue Nile
Grace Pool
Lions and Ghosts
Stone Fury
Andre Cymone
Cham CM
Ghost
The Controllers
Canton
The Tiny
Skope
Tonio K
Tiger Lou
The Dream Team
Sa-ra
Aebersold
Jacobites
Saturn V
Quadrajets
Solveig Slettahjell
Drop Nineteens
Andres Calamaro
First Affair
Ian Lodge
Marx & Spencer
Dan Byrd
Lost Patrol
Ken Roland
Curious Figures
Jeb Million
Shalamar
Blue Cheer
Rickie Lee Jones
Morten Harket

I tried, but they failed: No one at the NDR as well as the HR has the slightest idea who sings this song..even the people who must have played it once didn't remember. If I find out something new, I'll let you know.

Shit Motors, have you got some sort of list written out?

I found Jeb Million's Second Time Around:

Not our song, but here it is in case anyone needs a good laugh. It's so horrible you just have to hear it.

Hey Motors, just in case you want to add to the list another "Stay" which, of couse, isn't the one you're looking for: Morten Harket - Stay

I hope somebody finds out soon [:)]

I just compiled the half lists that were posted previously and added a handful that I eliminated yesterday. WE WILL FIND THIS. [|)]

* added M. Harket - thanks OP.

I am impressed with the lasting power of this song...a long time ago I remember reading somewhere that this song was by a Canadian artist, although the person couln't recall the group name. (I think it was on the CFNY Unknown Songs board) I don't recognize it as such, nor do any of the other people I've spoken to in regard to this.

I really would have liked to get that lp by Jet...just to know one way or the other. My personal opinion is that the group is from the U.K. or Europe.

We can rule out Jet, too:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... L:RTQ:US:1
It's listed as "Country". I messaged the seller to make sure, and this was his reply:

im not sure m8 iam selling it for some one else the record is in perfect cond the songs are, get around, everything i own, dreadlock holiday, little in love, i wrote the songs, orange blossom, couldve been a lady, silence is golden, this old house, when you ask about love woman, exodus thanks for looking but thats all i can tell you

No titular track or song called "Stay". Methinks it's some sort of reggae/dancehall record by the song titles. It may have been a good thing you couldn't get this album, eight6!
So the search continues by process of elimination.

Thanks for the heads up Goutroy!

Just a stupid question: are you 100% sure the song's title is "Stay" or "Second time around"? Maybe it has nothing to do with "stay" at all. It's so strange nobody has identified it after 2 years... it really intrigues me.

Eight6, I also think it sounds quite European (UK included), and the singer's voice is so familiar to me...
