Lisa Stansfield
Biography
English vocalist Lisa Stansfield was the lead singer of the group the Blue Zone and featured on Coldcut's "People Hold On" in 1989. She zoomed into the spotlight with Affection in 1990. The album went platinum and earned her a number three pop and number one R&B single with "All Around the World." Affection and its follow-up, Real Love, were deeply influenced by the '70s disco sound of Barry White, from arrangements to mood and even Stansfield's own technique. After a long hiatus, she returned with a self-titled effort in 1997. The #1 Remixes EP followed a year later. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide

The first time I heard "All around the world" I was restricted to the barracks in Iwakuni because I had bounced a check at the exchange (I was 19!). I was taking out my trash & feeling sorry for myself, but as I passed the rec room, I heard, what I thought was, a new single by some young black female artist. When I glanced in, I saw Lisa with her signature curl and couldn't quite wrap my head around her singing and the sound coming out. The next day, I snuck to the exchange and bought her tape

She is the Bomb as the young people would say. I am "Ol' School" and she got it going on!

How is she doing? Does anyone know? The last thing I heard was that she was dying of cancer and had no insurance. Boy how many of us know this song (no insurance can't stop dying blues). I am always on pandora or you can email me at lmtaylor1965 @ m s n . c o m

this is another hit maker. Nice voice not looking like she sounds- more look like sinead O'connor. This was a good comparison to Teena Marie and nice listening sounds of Lisa S.

Lisa Stansfield is one of the top ten female R&B singers of the last thirty years in my opinion.
