Ragovoy also took a production/songwriting role in the careers of two of the most esteemed East Coast soul cult performers of the late '60s, Lorraine Ellison and Howard Tate.
Three of these songs were on her final album, Pearl, and Joplin asked Ragovoy to compose a tune especially for her that she could record on the disc.
Ragovoy has said that he did do this around the summer of 1970, but that Joplin did not have a chance to record the number -- titled, ironically, "I'm Gonna Rock My Way to Heaven" -- as she died several weeks later.

Utilizing top New York City session musicians such as Paul Griffin, Richard Tee, Eric Gale, Chuck Rainey and Herb Lovell, Tate and Ragovoy produced, from 1966 to 1968, a series of soul-music recordings that are regarded as some of the most sophisticated of the era.
Ragovoy and Tate reunited for the 1972 Atlantic Records Howard Tate, which included more songs by Ragovoy along with Tate's versions of Bob Dylan's "Girl from the North Country" and Robbie Robertson's and Levon Helm's "Jemima Surrender." Again, the album was acclaimed by critics and virtually ignored by listeners.
He then began working with Ragovoy on an album that was released, as Rediscovered, in 2003.

 Rolling Stone : Howard Tate: Howard Tate : Music Reviews
Ragovoy also was the mastermind behind Howard Tate's first album for Verve a while back (entitled Get It While You Can) that, while impressive, was as overlooked as "Stay With Me" proved to be.
Ragovoy's sense of production, very similar to Bert Berns' work with Solomon Burke, pivots around relaxed yet steadily reinforced rhythms–with alert, freewheeling horn or back-up vocal "chants" accenting the choruses.
At times, Ragovoy also makes excellent use of an unidentified chorus to highlight Tate's sentiments–heard to full advantage on "Keep Cool (Don't Be A Fool)" and "Strugglin'"–and to allow him the mobility to get into his Ted Taylor-like falsetto wail.

 Howard Tate: Howard Tate
Highly regarded by soul music cultists, and virtually unknown by anybody else, Howard Tate had some minor success with the Verve label in the late '60s.
The singer brought a lot of blues and gospel to his phrasing, but what made him palatable to the modern R&B (and, to a lesser degree, pop) audience was the Northeast soul production of Jerry Ragovoy, who also wrote much of Tate's material.
The Very Great Howard ("Ain’t Nobody Home") Tate’s eponymous Jerry Ragavoy-produced 1972 Atlantic LP includes an awkward and extremely unconvincing take on "Jemima Surrender".

Their first big hit together was the classic "Cry Baby" in 1963 which Mimms recorded with his group The Enchanters (with backing vocals by a then-unknown Dionne Warwick and her sister Dee Dee and aunt Cissy Houston).
This emotional powerhouse of a record pretty much created the template for all big soul ballads in the 1960s (and was later covered by Janis Joplin).
On this and subesquent records Mimms gospel-drenched wailings were set to massive, New York City-scale productions by Ragovoy for a sound that was sophisticated and uptown but deeply soulful and gut-wrenching at the same time.

 Streetlights by Bonnie Raitt CD
STREETLIGHTS represents Bonnie Raitt's attempt to transition from the rootsy, blues-based aesthetic of her first three albums toward a more accessible crossover sound.
Producer Jerry Ragavoy de-emphasized Raitt's guitar work and loaded up the studio with female background singers, slick horn arrangements, and a particular focus on Raitt's often overlooked, sweet vocal style.
Though she didn't write any of the material on STREETLIGHTS, Raitt's treatment of songs by the likes of Joni Mitchell ("That Song about the Midway") and James Taylor ("Rainy Day Man") are performed with an authority and nuance that let the singer claim them as her own.

On her newest album Bonnie Raitt, one of the most gifted contemporary pop interpreters, partially succeeds in coping with uncongenial production by Jerry Ragovoy.
The uneven results illustrate an important record industry problem: How are artists to deal with a sophisticated production technology that dictates the creation of flawlessly manufactured commercial "product" and tends to disallow the idiosyncratic, spontaneous and simple?
Ragovoy's production, while it sets off Raitt's voice as a beautiful artifact, fails to exploit her great strength as a blues singer.
