  ## Personnel
  
  ### Musicians
  
  By this point in the band's career, "Simply Red" was essentially a trade name for Mick Hucknall, who appeared to be the only permanent member of the group. The Stay album credits simply list the musicians who played on the album in alphabetical order, with no listing of what instruments they may have played, or which tracks they may have played on. Oddly, Hucknall himself does not appear on the album's list of musicians.
