England (1989 – present)
Lisa Jane Stansfield (born April 11, 1966 in Heywood, Lancashire, England) is a Grammy Award-nominated and BRIT Award-winning English R&B and soul singer.
Once the frontwoman of UK band Blue Zone, which saw modest success with their single “Jackie”, she became a major international star beginning with her guest vocal stint on Coldcut’s record People Hold On.
Stansfield is probably best known for her first UK #1 single,
All Around The World (1989), which also peaked at #3 in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 the following year. Other worldwide hits from her debut solo album Affection include This Is The Right Time (featuring a house music-styled production by Coldcut with Mark Saunders), Live Together, What Did I Do to You? and You Can’t Deny It. “All Around the World” was the second song by a white female soloist to hit #1 on the Billboard R&B chart (the first being “Ooo La La La” by Teena Marie in 1988). “You Can’t Deny It” also topped that chart. Affection went platinum in the U.S., and sold a total of five million copies worldwide.
In 1990, Stansfield was among a handful of high-profile artists to participate in the Red Hot + Blue charity album, which honored the songwriting career of Cole Porter, and benefitted AIDS research at a time when funding from government agencies was insufficient for those in need. She was given the chance to show her swing and jazz chops on the song “Down in the Depths” (video), which was one of a few throwback renditions to appear on the album.

my goodness! i have overlooked lisa stansfield and her incredible music. sure i loved all around the world back in 1990 and even it's follow-up, you can't deny it. but at 17, i guess i was just too young to appreciate the gem she released as her debut album affection. same thing with her follow-up, real love in 1991/1992. all woman was the only track that caught my attention. well fast forward 18-19 years and all around the world plays randomly in an itunes playlist and i go back to the affection cd and fall down a hole with lisa stansfield entire discography. this woman can sing & perform in so many genres: dance/r&b/pop/adult/electronic/ambient...the list goes on. lisa stansfield is that chick! she really is a more uptempo sade. better late than never...you'd get as lost as i am in her silky voice. strongly recommended!
