I'm 26, and have all of Lisa's albums - she was so ahead of her time and criminally underrated in the States.

[@brandonblaylock5242]

She performed this at the Apollo and had everyone going crazy

[@ignaciogalvan1732]

Whispers of Lady T.😮 Teena Marie

[@1MarkKeller]

I remember that performance!

[@newmediarules]

that is such a fun video to watch

[@keithespinoza2064]

Another great example of blue-eyed soul. Incredible voice. Go Lisa!

[@marb9303]

Blue eyed soul I hate that term It’s soul or not period . We don’t call Smokey Robinson green eyed rare french soul so no need to do it ,or brown eyed rock or whatever .

[@willfromyadkinville]

i absolutely love her!

[@1MarkKeller]

@@marb9303 Please stop. It's always been a term of endearment.

[@peterhopqk]

​​@@marb9303stop overreacting.

[@machtnichtsseimann]

@@1MarkKeller - Granted, but even Lisa didn't like being referred to as such. Other singers, other genres, people just say they're good singers of that genre. So? Just call her a Soul singer. Simple.

[@daviddalby8537]

She's from Rochdale. Sings like an angel. Talks like Hilda Ogden.

[@slimblu1]

David Dalby ..🤣🤣🤣 brilliant reference for those who know!!!..reminds me of when Charlotte Church appeared with Nan aka Catherine Tate.."Voice of an angel, liver of a wino!!!"...

[@suzannejane1035]

Lol exactly. I remember the first time I heard her speak I burst out laughing - no harm to Rochdale folk cos I lived there for 6 months and I liked it - but I couldn't match her speaking voice with the singing one.

[@CarlosHernandez-yf3jv]

This song was back in 1989

[@ansugib]

So true😂

[@romystumpy1197]

I know

[@Nightwatchman53]

She tore it up on the Apollo when she sang this, brought the house down..

[@TheyHateBlack_]

I was at the Apollo when she performed that song she tore that stage up we were cheering her on saying her name. we were all surprised we thought she was black. Back in the days the Golden Era of music. We all thought Lisa Standfield was Black.

[@stevebills22]

Lisa has one of the best voices in the world and shes from Rochdale in England UK

[@teralmiles]

Our northern girl. Would love for these two to hear Lisa’s speaking voice.

[@leeeastwood6368]

northern soul?😁😎🤣🤣

[@fredswain3289]

Go Rochdale Girl

[@romystumpy1197]

She's brilliant unique voice

[@nikkihamilton8888]

MANCHESTER ENGLAND

[@keithespinoza2064]

Another great example of blue-eyed soul. Great voice!

[@douglastaggart9360]

But lisa stansfield as brown eye's but i get your point

[@davidlyons6235]

​@@douglastaggart9360you're overthinking it. That's what it's called. Can't get so pedantic as to use a phrase for every white artist's eye color. The point of emphasis is she's white. It's a euphemism in other words.

[@lordwalker71]

When her record company sent this song out to radio stations they didn’t include a picture of her so people assumed she was black because of how soulful her voice is, people were surprised to find out she is a whole woman from England. She also performed at the Apollo theatre which was known for audiences booing people off the stage if they didn’t like them but she a standing ovation.

[@lindabergman3127]

Not surprised ❤She’s awesome

[@jacmandora1]

This track...... Just so ahead of its time and so great. Lisa Stansfield is such an underrated talent.

[@housec8059]

Not in England

[@GinaGeeILuvu]

Lisa Stansfield’s is a British singer and this was her first big hit in the states and it was released in 1989! Check out some other hits by Lisa like, “Change” and “All Woman”! She has amazing range and beautiful voice!❤️❤️

[@adilyahimich8704]

And "Time to make you mine"

[@Constance8722]

When this song would come on the radio back in 1989 I would have to stop everything and just groove to this.

[@snlphotographerpressbusiness]

I always heard Lisa Stansfield sing on the radio. When I saw her perform on television for the first time, I was surprised that she was a white singer with a beautiful black voice. That is very unique! Also all her other songs are beautiful.

[@lisaroan9029]

When I seen her singing with Barry White,I didn't realize she was a white woman because of her soulful tone. She's wonderful ❤️

[@ricasears5910]

Lisa Stansfield is what we call a Northern Lass, from Rochdale Manchester and is from The North of England. This was a massive hit in 1989 was 17, and really popular in clubs and pubs across UK and Europe . People hold on. This is the right time. All woman and many more. Fun fact :- Lisa Stansfield was the first White British woman to reach number 1 on Billboard R&B Chart American Black music chart.

[@zeagazetotsiyon2942]

They're young. That song released in 1989, my high school graduation year. Class of 1989 ! It was in heavy rotation on The Quiet Storm. This was everyone's vsong back in 89' Lisa Stanfield rocked the Apollo Theatre woth this joint also. Look it up. I remember it.

[@teralmiles]

Snap.

[@curtmurray6085]

I graduated in 89 as well, I was in the Navy going through basic enlisted submarine school when this track was released.

[@jessmontes8129]

Class of 1988 here! lol! I know what u mean. And when this song came out. I was looking for a black singer. lol!

[@michellemccall6511]

She does a version with Barry White that you'd love as well as her performance of this song at the Apollo Theater. You two are great!🙂❤

[@newfiemom8696]

I think her voice is beautiful and strong, love it. She even sang a few songs at the Freddy Mercury Tribute Concert.

[@ta81uk]

You should hear her speaking voice! A true northern lass! Incredible talent 😊

[@mdennis9496]

Lisa has an EXTENSIVE past catalog of hits. Starting as a session singer on many HOUSE classic tracks. Her vocals could also be heard on some classic High Energy tracks from the 80s as well. With this song she finally broke out into her solo debut and album. Look, voice, style…….she had it all. And yes, she had been All Around The World! Go girl……..

[@smoothyc]

She has had nine albums and still amazing and going strong

[@deew5587]

Please react to another one of her hits "All Woman". Amazing vocals.

[@RoninNZ]

You should hear her speaking voice. She has a accent that is very different to her singing voice.

[@terrondt]

I agree. Recently seen her in a sit down interview and she has that English Brit voice down pat totally different singing like a soul sista

[@knightfly28]

Lisa's first 2 singles hit #! on the R&B charts...this one and You Can't Deny It.

[@ladylisaromance8129]

Watch her live at the Apollo! It's amazing.

[@rogerlewis1361]

Don’t feel bad guys….after years of hearing this song on the radio, then finally seeing the video, I was in shock too!

[@ladyleopublishing966]

I still remember when she played the Apolllo and had it rockin! She received a standing ovation. I have and still listen to her music.

[@RWernsing]

This is from '89. She's fabulous. Time to get her other 10 albums!

[@gailgreet-wheeler933]

I love her singing this with Barry white

[@TonyKanameKuran]

WDKX had introduced me to this song before the music video on MTV, VH-1, and BET. Never have I realized that a white British lady sings like a black woman. Lisa Stansfield has *SOUL!*

[@englishpete22]

She's not the first one either - Dusty Springfield is white too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqGXZGZveseJpJo kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKDPkmtmp7aippY

[@BozeDoesGodsWork]

Y’all just be forgetting about Amy Winehouse.

[@ivanvalentin3898]

This reaction deserves way more views.

[@LaptopLarry330]

This song and music video was released in 1989, to promote her album, "Affection", which was a worldwide hit. Lisa Stansfield is a busy woman, balancing a music career and an acting career. Her most recent album was released in 2018.

[@user-lp8cf8to2z]

I grew up listening and dancing around my handbag in England to this amazing , amazing song. Love it !!

[@HollyCranfan]

When she was at the Apollo , they gave her a standing ovation. Barry White thought she was too. Soulful voice.

[@ChrisLagos77]

Lisa is sounding better than ever these days

[@robincoats989]

What a voice!!.Thank you for this reaction my friend's I thought she was black too

[@greeneyedsoutherngirl6468]

Watching you guys get down to Lisa is great! Shes good!

[@edrivera4574]

She's awesome! She sang this song with Barry White they both together were so good!🎤🎶🎵❤😊

[@magnetman007]

Lisa was Definitely underrated. Of all the great soul singers i've listened to going back to the early 70s, I would put Lisa's pipes up there with any of the greats! Her tone, low end and richness was amazing. An all time soul singer.

[@shwicaz]

HAHAHAHAHAHA The two of you had me dying. This is a jam! I love you two, always spreading the joy and the music.

[@christopherscorner]

Lisa Stansfield is amazing! You both should listen to her sing amazing song called, All Woman. It’ll blow you away! Love your channel!

[@davidvornsand9551]

Amazing how we are so similar when we step out of our comfort zones and realize it☮️❤️

Душевно поет! песня моего детства...Отличное исполнение!

[@johnnyd5285]

Love the honesty of Shawn & Mel, I wish the other “reactors” were this real.

[@jacmandora1]

Also, check out her performance at The Apollo. She had that place rocking!!!!

[@markthomas2577]

Lisa won a UK TV talent show in 1980 and has had great success since then, selling over 20 million albums and winning loads of awards. Singer, songwriter, actress

[@tonkabeanpumpkin-fh4fz]

I love this song to pieces. Lisa Stansfield is amazing.

Declarada hace mucho tiempo como una de sus muchos fans amo todas sus canciones y su voz preciosa

You need to react to the one with both Lisa and Barry White

[@jmrx12]

I have always liked this one, the original, better.

[@donaldsimmonsjr]

@@jmrx12 I'm 26 and grew up playing Lisa songs - I do too! I have all her albums.

[@micheletrainor1601]

White and from Northern England, Rochdale . Epic voice.

[@davidlyons3678]

Not only a great singer but also a great song writer 😻

[@Nico-lx8jq]

This song is actually a late 80’s hit, it was released in 1989, from Stansfields 1989 album, titled: Affection, and although it was released in 1989, the song continued to dominate on air well into the 90’s. A classic hit I would always hear on the radio, and another one of those songs that I never get tired of listening to.

[@ansugib]

She is a amazing singer. Try her 'All woman' and 'People hold on' songs.

[@janetjones5959]

That was 1990. It was a massive hit!!!

[@silvioabreu2574]

I love this song and i have cried it is Old clássica and Strong message and begin s 90 top oh god

[@garyfallows1123]

Great 80's soul vibe, takes me back, best decade for music, check out her track The Right Time or her collaboration with Cold Cut 'People hold On'

[@pennivalenti6602]

Lisa Stansfield, Joss Stone, Teena Marie, and Jessie J, all underrated and exceptional singers!

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

She writes, too! Lots of songs!!!!

[@colleenbrennan1942]

She's a legend, love a UK legend 👏 🙌 ❤️

[@maggiemay6625]

she like me is a lancashire lass home of northern soul 🇬🇧❤️

[@jeffalger5237]

Yes Try " You can't deny It. " is another great hit by Lisa

[@samic1051]

Hello, I'm a big fan of yours from Canada period I just want to say you picked a really good one I mean, this is in my general Lisa Stansfield is 5 years younger than myself. I went to live in England 85 to 1992. And she is supernice very short. She's only 5 foot 3 I thought she would have been taller but i have to say. You guys have to watch her performance at the Apollo. You will be blown away. She does this song live and she does this song wish another good or favorite artist of mine Barry white,they do this song together, And in my day, this was definitely baby making music LOL.❤

[@Jason-ml3vs]

Lisa snatched their wigs!

[@littlegmod]

Check out Lisa's performance at the Apollo - a classic!

[@carlbaker7242]

Sweet memories of a one of a kind jam.

MUSIC IS UNIVERSAL GOOD MUSIC IS COLORLESS TALENT IS TALENT

[@WilfChadwick]

I was in Iceland, US air force base Keflavic in 1990, all the blacks went crazy coz I came from three miles away from where Lisa comes from, she was extremely popular amongst the blacks.

[@ignaciogalvan1732]

That's the same reaction that they had when they first heard Elvis😊

[@bobbywest9928]

You need to listen to All Women live from 1994 ! It’s amazing

[@OctavioXtravaganza70]

This song melody in the Chorus was used as a sample in Biggie Smalls track... BEEN AROUND THE WORLD also using David Bowie ..... Lisa also has a great track.... CHANGE.... another great hit

[@keithespinoza2064]

I absolutely love your reactions to white singers who sound black. This one, Righteous Bros., KC and the Sunshine band, Bobby Caldwell, etc. Some more blue-eyed Soul you should react to: Boz Skaggs: Lowdown; Lou Christie: Lightning Strikes; Len Barry: 1-2-3.

[@barbarawebb7185]

KC is black, isn’t he? Also The Bee Gees, Teena Marie and Timi Yuro.

[@LaptopLarry330]

@@barbarawebb7185 KC is white.

Check her out singing this with Barry White. Then watch her reception at the Apollo!

[@taramitrovka2942]

Lisa at the Apollo killed it...

[@leecottam4598]

Great voice. Probably should have had a bigger singing career than she did...

[@jacmandora1]

Agreed. So underrated.

[@lasvegasotis6780]

She has soul !!

[@reginalddavenport4509]

It's funny cause she has so many songs before that one, and when she released been around the world 🌎 every one couldn't believe it, also listen to the verse with Barry White

[@timmistorey5989]

You should watch her performance at The Apollo, ❤

[@richardcogbill6791]

The Brits have long love of R&B music.

[@johnwilkinson4683]

I recommend listening to "All Woman" by Lisa STansfield.

[@bertiew6771]

Credit for calling it out, yup she's white. What a voice. It won't surprise you to learn she was a big soul fan long before she started singing. You can't fake it. Lisa has it in buckets! Love her.

[@likeluptid]

First of all, NOBODY thought Lisa Stansfiekd was black. I've never met ONE PERSON who ever thought that. But she was jamming!!! The greatest performance of anybody ever, in my opinion, was that night shd was at the Apollo. She turned that place out!

[@bakercarl8518]

So true, so beautiful and everlasting.

[@lynnecox6431]

She sang this song (among others) with Barry White. Check it out.

[@mercurywoodrose]

oh i new she was black for years. "this is the best black soul singer of our generation, represent, baby, what a triumph, so proud to love this voice, all that history behind it, surely" well i was wrong.

[@labratamber]

check out her song ALL WOMAN

[@debra7449]

Wow I’ve heard this song a million times always thought she was black. That’s crazy.

[@Marc-zi5cq]

yeah alot of her music is very soulful and R&B influenced. She can sing! White girl got soul for her.

[@jayrtee]

I had a similar reaction, a bit earlier, to Rick Astley. Living in a college dorm without MTV, the first time I saw one of his videos I was totally surprised. I took the lesson as "Don't jump to conclusions" because my mental picture of the music was so look way off.

[@BLAKEEATS1988]

and Nathan Sykes with kiss me quick I though he was black coz he sounded like Usher in that song. Michael bolton I was shocked also knowing that he was white and the group wild orchid too I though they were black.

[@marysorsoli6453]

Listen to her song All Woman. It's fantastic

[@HueJackCity66]

Listen to her speaking voice. She is British and sounds like Adele. She would show up to radio stations and the director would ask her where is Lisa. Lol

[@marvinkelley6339]

Listen to her self titled album. She had a full concert on Video Soul and she killed. It’s not on KZbin unfortunately.

[@jerimiahrich1677]

You should listen to RED SAVINE little rosa, or tddey bear. These are to great songs
