Jane Olivor
Jane Olivor (born May 18, 1947) is an American cabaret singer. She was initially compared, often favorably, to Barbra Streisand and Edith Piaf. After releasing five albums from the late 1970s through the early 1980s, her stage fright, anxieties over her rapid success, and her husband's illness and death caused her to take a 10-year hiatus from her career. Reviving her performing and recording career in the early 1990s, she released five more albums from 1995 through 2004. Since 2009, she has been retired from the public eye.
Early career
Olivor was born as Jane Cohen in Brooklyn, New York and reportedly grew up with a background in folk music, although her particular influences, she has claimed, were Johnny Mathis and Gene Pitney; the latter appeared on her 2000 album, Love Decides.
In her early days as a performer, Olivor played such venues as Brothers & Sisters and The Ballroom. She became known, notably among the gay community, for her interpretations of famous songs such as "Some Enchanted Evening" from the Broadway musical South Pacific and "Come Softly to Me", the 1959 chart selection by The Fleetwoods.

Stay The Night
by: Jane OlivorFeel I'm trying to swim the North Atlantic Ocean
I'm traveling on a different kind of train
Heaven saves a place for fallen angels
I need someone to take me home again
Stay The Night
Baby say you love me
Stay and love me
Stay The Night
Stay The Night
Need you to need me
Say you need me
Stay The Night
I'm living with a clock for a companion
Waiting for the telephone to cry
If you stay and love me till the morning
Maybe we won't ever say goodbye
Stay The Night
Baby say you love me
Stay and love me
Stay The Night
Stay The Night
Need you to need me
Say you need me
Stay The Night
It takes a while to know just where you're going
And sometimes you get lost along the way
And since I feel the need inside me growing
I hope that you won't mind it when I say
Stay The Night
Baby say you love me
Stay and love me
Stay The Night
Stay The Night
Need you to need me
Say you need me
