It amazes me how British accents disappear when they sing.

Many people think they do it intentionally but the accent naturally goes away because of the way you have to sustain syllables and control your vocal chords when singing. It takes more effort to maintain the accent while singing. It's pretty interesting.

Excellent story on Lisa Stansfield

I love this story. I was 9 when I first heard it on local radio. 34 years later, it's still a timeless classic.

I used to sing the 'Around the World" song before going to daycare as a kid, I had no clue who sung the song or how she looked until I was in college. Still a powerful vocalist! Thank you for this update on her.

Lisa one of our best British Exports! We ❤ our Lisa Stansfield and her Soulful Vocals.

I am from texas and used to listen to her on cassette tape everyday she had a beautiful soulful voice which I could not get enough of.

British soul in the 80’s was phenomenal

Lisa Stansfield is the last real White Female singer that sang R&B music the right way. Before her was Teena Marie.

No! A white singer that's being perceived (not mistaken) for a black artist who sing R&B music is not a compliment, it's an insult. Genres of music are diversified, universal regardless of a person's heritage, race and what they look like on outside and if so, that's called discrimination and it's not fair to the artist, who only just want to create music. Besides, her eyes are not blue, they're green!

I remember George Michael sang with Lisa at the concert together that was a big deal at the moment. When I was in high school, I first heard "around the world" and I got hook it. I brought every album of hers, and still listen to all of the soulful songs. Every time I play her songs, they ask me who this singer is? Never get tired, its still timeless, and no one ever plays like her before. She's different & unique singer.

ONE OF THE GUYS FROM HALL & OATES HATES THAT TERM TOO, HOWEVER IT'S A COMPLIMENTARY TERM, I GET IT THO..IT'S DEEPER..

I remember LOVING her debut album. It's a shame she did not have more longevity, because I loved her style.

She was absolutely gorgeous in "this is the right time" video.

Her solo music was a fixture of my childhood. She also looks so much like Linda Evangelista!

“All Woman” is top teir. I understand why she didn’t like that blue eyed soul label but I also remember being tripped out when I found out she didn’t look like Anita baker or Regina Belle. I was a kid so I had very few soul references 😂 When I started listening to music from the 70s I noticed that you really could not tell who looked like what based on their voices. And soul sounds differently across genres but it’s pretty much all soul.

Her song “Change” was a big part of my life in my teens.

I sat beside her on a plane once. She was extremely down to earth, and took an interest in me. I was shy to talk to her - I knew instantly that it was her when I sat down, but I only confessed to know it was her halfway through the flight. She was so good looking I was tongue tied. And I was a grown ass man ! I introduced her to my boss when we got off the plane ( he was sitting somewhere else on the plane ). Ha ha, he thought I was friends with her. I had to disabuse him of his mistake. But not until the next week haha. She is my all time 90's crush. And I met her !
