Is Lisa Stansfield a one-hit wonder? I can only name one song she sang and it was "All Around The World."

All Around The World * This Is The Right Time * You Can't Deny It * Change * All Woman * Never, Never Gonna Give You Up

I don't know if I heard any of those songs except "All Around The World." That was the Lisa Stansfield song I could remember and that was why I thought she only had one hit. I don't know if I heard any of those other songs. If I did, I don't remember hearing any of them.

Let's start with Lisa Stansfield's incredible 5½ octave range, silky rich tone and spot-on pitch. Add her singular style of lyric interpretation that dives deep throughout every song to reveal the full array of emotions surrounding each story she sings. Stansfield is able to take her audience to the very heart and soul of what women experience in opening themselves to the joys, vulnerabilities, disappointments and pains experienced in loving and caring about another person as well as themselves.

You may know her solely from her chart topping song, All Around the World, but her entire body of work offers listeners so much more. It comprises a full 8 albums—120 tracks—alongside 10 additional songs from the soundtrack for her fictional movie, SWING. That's an entire world of moving songs whose beautiful melodies are in every way the incredible equal of their lyrics. Top that with superb, lush arrangements by the incomparable team of Ian Devaney & Andy Morris, worthy successors to Gamble & Huff's the classic sound of Philidelphia Soul.

Lisa delivers each and every one of her songs in the powerfully unique way only her voice can achieve, bringing them alive with all the subtilties and nuances that make her a truly creative and immensely talented vocal artist who's unquestionably worthy of consideration as a deserving choice for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
