"Stay Together" is a gospel-inspired house song recorded by American singer Barbara Tucker and written and produced by "Little" Louie Vega. Released in 1995 by Strictly Rhythm Records, this would be Tucker's third of seven number-one singles she would place on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, reaching the top spot on November 11, 1995.[1] On the UK Singles Chart, the single peaked at 46,[2][3][4] while peaking at number 75 in Scotland.
Larry Flick from Billboard magazine wrote, "The enduring Barbara Tucker is back in action with "Stay Together", her third single for New York's Strictly Rhythm Records. This is a tasty all-star package, with production by "Little" Louie Vega and Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez and remixes by Armand Van Helden." He added, "Tucker sounds downright seductive here, which is a nice change from the pulpit-pounding of her last two singles, 'Beautiful People' and 'I Get Lifted'. Do not be fooled, though: Tucker stays positive at all times, never passing up the opportunity to spread her own brand of joy whenever possible."[5]
James Hamilton from British magazine Music Week's RM Dance Update described the song as a "diva wailed garage strider".[6] Bethan Cole from NME commented, "Big stiletto-stomping club tune it ain't, but arch-diva Ms Tucker and Master at Work Louie Vega construct a full-bodied, pumped-up garage groove devoid of unnecessary embellishment, with a kicking Frankie Feliciano mix to boot."[7]
