20:00 Lisa Stansfield (UK)
The most convincing white R&B singer since Teena Marie, Lisa Stansfield reached the mainstream - after nearly a full decade in the music industry - as the featured vocalist and co-songwriter on Coldcut's "People Hold On." The 1989 single was a number 11 pop hit in the U.K. and a number six hit on the U.S. club chart. Later that year, the solo single "All Around the World" gave Stansfield a tremendous boost by reaching number one in several countries, including the U.K. From that point, throughout her distinguished if sporadic recording career, she was known for sophisticated, soul-inspired releases that appealed to a broad audience. Born in Manchester, England in 1966, Stansfield grew up listening to soul music. In 1980, she won Search for a Star, a singing competition, and released her first single, "Your Alibis" - a dramatic ballad seemingly made for a film - on the Devil label in 1981. Stansfield's most momentous year was 1989, when she co-wrote and fronted Coldcut's "People Hold On." Arista signed her as a solo artist, though she continued to record with Devaney and Morris, who co-wrote and produced the majority of her debut album, Affection, released in the U.K. In 1999, Stansfield made her film debut in Swing, for which she recorded ten songs - produced by Devaney - that were included on the soundtrack.
