*Lisa's fantastic, I love her to bits. She grew up four doors from us in Rochdale (Lancashire), and we went to the same school, though she's two years older. Just a two-up two-down terraced house like most of the housing in Rochdale in the 70's. Nothing posh or fancy. But the very first thing she did when she became successful, was pay off her mam and dad's mortgage. Then as she became even more successful, she bought them a lovely 3-bed detached bungalow with a lovely big back garden for their dogs ('Stan' and 'Ollie') to run around. Still in Rochdale mind, but on the outskirts - a bit more rural. But she still always comes round whenever she's in the UK, and spends as much time as she can with family and friends. And despite her exciting/exotic lifestyle (at least compared to living in Rochdale anyway!) she hasn't changed a bit. Not one iota. When she's over she comes down to the local pub, plays pool (very badly LOL), and even belts out a song or two, Sometimes without any musicians there at all - accapella? Anyway she still has a fantastic voice in any case. Still a very normal and down to earth lass but she spends a lot of time writing songs these days, and living in an absolutely massive/beautiful 'loft apartment' overlooking Central Park, and with a huge walk around outdoor balcony. It's just stunning. Pity our 'loft' is nothing like that! Anyway sorry for rambling on JV and everyone else, oops! Take care all, love and best wishes to you.*

💃🔥💃🔥 She can sang!! I forgot to mention you reacted the same with Rick Astley. 😄 You're reactions are priceless!

First of all, this song is major Nostalgia for me. My mom loved this song when it came out and as a result so did I! Still takes me back to being about 7- 8 years old

There was a reason she had 3 number 1 singles on the Billboard R&B charts. Lisa can blow. My favorite! 🔥🔥🔥

Lisa Stansfield has a great voice and she had a string of hits in the late eighties and early nineties! She is British and she still performs. I love this song and her hits "All Woman" and "Change"! 💖💖

When that came out, we were all stunned by her voice and her style. The song was a real hit back then!

Ah Lisa was from Rochdale, just a couple of miles away from me. If you heard her speaking you wouldn't think it was her singing this either, with her strong Rochdale accent! This went to number 1 in the UK on the night of my 6th form college disco that Me and a friend arranged in the back room of a pub in Eccles, called the Devonshire Arms, (previously Addison's) Watch her perform this with Barry White 🙂

Jovaughn “I’m right here”, “I’ve never heard a woman say they were wrong”, “Oh, no he ain’t coming back” but “I’m right here”. I absolutely love Lisa Stansfield and your reaction to her was so genuine. I especially love the duet she did with George Michael at the Queen Tribute Concert for Freddie Mercury. You will find it under Queen + George Michael & Lisa Stansfield “These are the days of our lives”. It would be worthwhile if you haven’t reacted to George Michael’s rendition of “Killer” by Seal and “Papa was a rolling stone” by the Temptations, which is known as Killer (Papa was a rolling stone). While you’re at it maybe listen to the original by Seal - Killer or his song “Crazy”. All fantastic singer songwriters. Thank you so very much Jovaughn I really loved your reaction!

He also appears in one frame of the ring of guys who surrounded Lisa as she was swung forwards and backwards in the middle of the circle. It was filmed at Borehamwood (where James Bond 007 is filmed) early one morning. You’re not the first to think from her voice she was a Black singer. My next ex was an African-American and thought exactly the same when he first heard the song. Now my partner of 17+ years is a Jamaican, and we live near Lisa’s home town of Rochdale, but that’s a whole different story. 👍🏻

You Can't Deny It, is also very good. One of my favorites from her.

She has a gorgeous, deep and soulful sound. We totally get you!

I listened to this album all through my double math class at high school, with one ear piece threaded up my sleeve. ON MY WALKMAN. Still have the same cassette, too!!! It’s a fantastic album, end to end. Thanks Jay for this happy flashback 🥰💜 Edited to add: she has a duet with George Michael from the FREDDIE MERCURY TRIBUTE CONCERT April 20, 1992 concert album-they sing THESE ARE THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES, and she holds her own against George’s vocals (which is high praise from me) 🙌🏼🔥

Lisa Stansfield, now that's taking me back. So many good songs. If you like female singers with powerful voices, I recommend Sam Browne and Stop! Also, to switch it up a bit, for some Irish flavour, I recommend Janet Devlin who's relatively new but she has a sweet voice with a pop/country/Irish sound. Holy Water, Better Now are a couple of my faves.

Lisa is to this day one of my favorite singers, unfortunately she only had two hits in the U.S. but she's got 10 albums or more under her belt. ❤ her!

She's got an amazing voice. Very soulful and funky music as well. Her debut album is perfect. The Real Thing from 1997 is defintitely worth checking out, great song, great lyrics, great videos.

According to an interview she gave in 2019 this song was really quick to write and record. She turned up at the studio and her recording partner was messing around on the piano and the chorus just came to her straightaway. 2 takes later and the strings added in post production and the song was done. Now its a classic and probably her biggest hit

You should watch when she sang this at the Apollo in Harlem. It was so great to see the crowd's reaction.

This song was a big hit and everywhere, but I stop and listen even decades later, it's so good!!

Review Teena Marie. She's was a soul sister/sista! I love Teena. Some of her best was when she was on Motown & some songs with Rick James. Berry Gordy purposely didn't put her pic on the cover of her 1st album since he wanted her to be heard. It worked. When people found out she not black, they were shocked. She was so smooth & her personality too. She was definitely invited to the cookout!
