"Stay the Night" was covered by American singer
La Toya Jackson, and released as the first single from her second studio album,
My Special Love (1981). The track was produced by
Ollie E. Brown, who also produced the album. The lyrics were slightly re-written to reflect the gender change from Ocean's version. The single peaked at #31 on the
Billboard Hot Soul Singles chart. The single was released on 7" and 12" formats, with "Camp Kuchi Kaiai" on the B-side. "Camp Kuchi Kaiai" was one of two songs Jackson co-wrote with her sister
Janet Jackson; the other was "Lovely Is She" on Jackson's previous album. "Camp Kuchi Kaiai" has become well known in the UK's
rare groove scene. Jackson performed "Stay the Night" on the October 10, 1981 episode of
Soul Train.
