Lisa Stansfield "You Can't Deny It" live at the Apollo 1990

[@PRiMETiME_-bi1od]

One thing about black folks it don't matter what color u are if its soulful we gonna jam it.

[@tracyskins7854]

Yup yup

[@sweetlistenings3324]

Amen about that

[@coreyortiz9913]

it sucks that if Whitney Houston performed at the Apollo at that time the crowd would've booed her off the stage. I heard black folk hated her in the late 80s cause they felt she was too pop

[@andresrodriguez3708]

Thank you, Amen.

[@Veon_Ray]

@@coreyortiz9913 Bullshit! Whitney wasn't doing anything different musically than any other Black artist out in the '80. I don't have to speak on what "I heard", because I was there, I'm Black, and I'm a recording artist who had music out back then, and now. Whitney has always been, and will always be, loved by Black folks.

I can’t deny I’m listening in 2024

[@PNWOlygurl66]

Nice Comment! 🥰

[@billwalbek1911]

[@helenbestman5338]

Singing live, no screaming or hollering out of breath. Just real talent.

[@polyprinz]

All the times she appeared at the Apollo, they loved her. The Apollo is the toughest crowd to perform in front of. If you mess up they will boo you off the stage!

[@coreyortiz9913]

why. Michael Jackson never performed at the Apollo? he's like the biggest black pop icon

[@professormause]

Her greatest honour yet she said. Accepted as just a great singer. Some things bother some Americans more than others......

[@SmartRobot-wc2fb]

@@professormause Absolutely! I personally don't consider Teena Marie a very sultry/soulful voice like Lisa Stansfield is, though she was a great musician. Yet, black americans idol her as the only one white singer capable of being soulful. There are many other white singers out there that are much more soulful and sultry than Teena Marie and that black americans don't even know about. Mostly British by the way. Try to listen to Alison Moyet [Billie Holiday's cover of "That Ole Devil Called Love"], Joss Stone, Amy Winehouse, Dusty Springfield, Alice Russel, Anastacia [she's from Chicago and a bit like Taylor Dayne], etc. For instance, if someone like Taylor Dayne did Soul/R&B it would be booed in America by black folks, saying she would be taking advantage of their culture. The same with Tina Turner or Whitney Houston doing some Pop or Rock. It's just crazy. Race shouldn't be seen as a limit to artists' creativity.

[@apamtv]

Taylor Danye has performed at the Apollo before!

[@hardren101]

My girl is singing live NO auto-tune, No Ashlee Simpson razamatazz....Just straight up singing.

[@sonnycrockett_92]

You can’t deny that you’re still listening to this in 2022.

[@tur74d56]

Noooo 2023

2024

[@segawapeterkenyon3063]

2024 still enjoying this lyric

[@KLFNYC]

Give her all the flowers 💐 she's a living legend ❣🙏🎤💫🔥

[@CelestialGatez]

I love Lisa but I wouldn't use the word "legend". Lol. That word is reserved for people who have been in the game over half a century.....and CONSISTENTLY turned it out. Barbara Streisand, Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston (because they broke hella records), Cicely Tyson, Betty White, etc.

[@KLFNYC]

@@CelestialGatez we can agree to disagree

[@CelestialGatez]

@@KLFNYC No worries. It's just that the words Legend and Icon are just used so loosely. I love Lisa, I do. Talented artist.

[@CodyCole80]

@@CelestialGatez 🤔 Although Lisa is mainly remembered here in the States for her 1989 “Affection” album, she’s continued success and remained quite relevant in the U.K. where she’s from. That’s probably why people on the eastern hemisphere consider her a legend, while we in the States just remember her as a cool singer from the NJS era. 🤷🏽‍♀️😐

[@CelestialGatez]

@@CodyCole80 That's in the UK. We're talking about here in the states and on the charts where it generally matters. I can list quite a few artists who are popular in other countries but if they aint settin it off in america you can't expect them to be recognized as "legendary." Now if the person who posted this comment is from the UK then they get a pass. Totally understandable. But it's a reach to say that and be from america.

[@rorysharrock9889]

Lisa has a lifetime pass to the cookout. Man, I love everything about this song!!!

[@perpetual61]

If she can make it at the Apollo she can make it anywhere. For anyone knows just Brutal the Fans at The Apollo are.

[@tur74d56]

This is her best live performance of this song

[@apamtv]

Also check out her live performance at Manchester. They rocked this song !

[@SeahawksBamBamKam]

This album was a revelation it got me into house dance music it has so many different elements styles in her music her voice is truly one of a kind I love it she is one of my favorite singers of all time and totally underrated.

[@SectorHolomedia]

Got me into that genre as well.

[@unkorichie2029]

Haha no way! Me too🤙🏽

[@michellegriffith4200]

As an artist you take your career in your hands appearing at the Apollo...😊

[@mr.mister8219]

Imagine a duet with the late Teena Marie(RIP)🔥🔥🔥

[@michaelbull4344]

It would be great and would’ve burned that stage up

[@erikmurray3661]

80s and 90s absolutely had the best music eras

[@borg30096]

Lisa set off the Apollo!!! A very unique voice, sweet and funky! Love You Lady!!!!

[@CodyCole80]

I *LOVE* Lisa’s voice. 😊 It’s so jazzy-raspy.

[@unadiva3701]

Happy 55th Birthday Ms gorgeous Lisa Stansfield 😍❤️

[@Lee-di9jn]

I was born in 87 this songs would play on the radio a lot in the early 90’s she is the truth I love her

[@GODLETMEWINAMEN]

Can only say Miss Lisa Stansfield's performance at the APOLLO.............PHENOMENAL 👍😍❣️

[@haroldkingsantiagosongs]

She was the LONDON, EUROPE & UK QUEEN OF THE 90’s! 🎤🎶❤️🙏😇

[@apamtv]

Absolutely!

[@sandrabrookins3250]

[@keithdennis7419]

She definitely is a living legend I Totally Agree Blessings!!!!!!

Wow. !!! 🇬🇧 British girl has The Soul 🙌🏾 (she moves like George Michael 💃🏻🕺🏾🙌🏾) Portland Oregon USA 🇺🇸

[@Marie0575]

When we say the 90s was tge best decade, here is one of the many reasons why💃🕺💃 She is singing!

[@CelestialGatez]

Thanks for uploading this video! This is the B side to her other performance on the Apollo. Love it! Takes me back to my college days. What a time.

[@apamtv]

Never seen this before, what an amazing performance, I literally got the shivers! What a talent, what a voice and always loved this song This should‘ve been a massive hit! Thank‘s for the upload :))

[@davidx4120]

It was a #1 R&B hit in America in 1990!!! I believe only her & Teena Marie were the only "white" female artists to achieve this.

[@scottjhnsn]

Right? This was HUGE hit here stateside! Every radio station I remember played this almost on repeat and video got heavy rotation on MTV.

[@JenX_1973]

@@scottjhnsn Yes this was a major hit here in the U.S. As soon as "Been Around the World" was released, I went to the mall and bought this album on cassette. I think I wore it out, I played it so much! And as a bonus, the entire album was amazing!!

[@defnessrealtalk4016]

In my mind, this WAS a massive hit. My fav song of hers that she sings and the realist one that in terms of a relationship....

[@kimberlywalters7592]

[@michaelbull4344]

Facts

[@michaelbull4344]

Lisa stanfield is an ivory queen who earned her stripes with black people loves and respects the culture!!!

[@coreyortiz9913]

the song "all around the world" I heard it sometime in my lifetime and I always assumed it was black woman or a light skinned black woman then all these years later I learned it was a English white woman I was shocked but at the same time impressed cause I never seen a white person sing with such soul

[@tur74d56]

No need to mention colour , you wouldn’t say the black guy / girl sang so well would you !

Like Barry White would say she’s badd! 💯

[@davidx4120]

This is one of Lisa's BEST performances of a lifetime, BEFORE the cigarettes ruined her soulful voice which I hate. Love her though.

[@CodyCole80]

It’s ruined now? 😳 I hope not.

[@tracyskins7854]

Hate when they take chances "Smoking " with their gift.

[@professormause]

All singers voices change. I heard her recently and she was nowhere near err.....Whitney yet.

[@luckyep.136]

You're the only one who said what I've been saying over the past decade about Lisa...errbody was jumping on me post after post on social media platforms. Them damn cigarettes ruined her voice to trash over the years...but good news bro...seen some recent concert posts over the last couple of months on here and it seems she's quit smoking and salvaged what's left into something promising and presentable going forward for her diehard fans as she's creeping into her late 50's...UK Festivals this summer in Peterborough, etc...she's sounding much better....check it out.

[@florenciagarcia2103]

She was smoking during this time too. In an interview, she said she used to smoke 45 cigarettes a day and started smoking when she was 16, but dabbled a bit before it. For someone who smoked that much and to add the rehearsals, concerts, interviews, and recording her albums on top of it, her voice still sounded incredibly clear and pristine. I love her music. She truly has a wonderful gift. In the same interview from 2014, she said she quit after trying for years. I think she still sounds great! 😃

[@chrissimpson6701]

I wonder would it be okay for me to bring my guitar and belt out burden in my hand by Soundgarden?
