Lisa Stansfield is an English singer and songwriter.

Other worldwide hits from her solo debut album Affection include "This Is the Right Time", "Live Together", "What Did I Do to You" and "You Can't Deny It". "All Around the World" and "You Can't Deny It" both hit number one on the Billboard R&B chart.

After releasing several unsuccessful singles in her mid-teens, she co-hosted a children's TV pop show, Razzamatazz with Alistair Pirri. Also, Stansfield was in 1983 children's television series The Krankies Klub.

Her British band Blue Zone saw modest success with the single "Jackie". She then crossed over into the UK Top 40 singles chart as guest vocalist on Coldcut's record "People Hold On".

In 1990, Stansfield was among the high profile artists who participated in the Red Hot + Blue charity disc produced by the Red Hot Organization, which honoured Cole Porter's songwriting and benefitted AIDS research.

In 1991 and 1992, Stansfield won the BRIT Award for best British female solo artist. Her second album Real Love spawned four Top 40 singles on the European charts: "Change", "All Woman", "Time to Make You Mine" and "Set Your Loving Free". "All Woman" became Stansfield's third number one single on the Billboard R&B chart and the album has since gone platinum in the US and went double platinum in the UK.

She performed Queen songs alongside George Michael and what was left of Queen at the tribute concert in April 1992 for their late frontman Freddie Mercury.

Also in 1992, Stansfield appeared on the Red Hot Organization's compilation album, Red Hot + Dance, contributing an exclusive remix of her hit single "Change". She also contributed to the soundtrack of the major motion picture The Bodyguard with "Someday (I'm Coming Back)" which reached Number 10 in the UK.

Her third album, So Natural, was released in 1993 and spawned three Top 40 European singles including the "So Natural", "In All the Right Places", and "Little Bit of Heaven".

Her self-titled fourth album Lisa Stansfield was released in 1997 with three Top Ten singles which were a remix of "People Hold On", "The Real Thing" and "Never Never Gonna Give You Up". "Never Never Gonna Give You Up" became Stansfield's last Top 40 R&B hit.

Her 2001 album Face Up featured the singles "Let's Just Call It Love" and "8-3-1" followed by a greatest hits collection called Biography. In 2004, she released The Moment which featured the singles "Treat Me Like a Woman" and "If I Hadn't Got You".
