Lisa Stansfield (born April 11, 1966) is a British soul singer from Rochdale, England, the former frontwoman for the Blue Zone. She became a major international star for Affection, from 1990. She is best known for the hit song "All Around the World", which reached the Top Ten in the United States and No. 1 in the United Kingdom. Other worldwide hits from Affection include "This is the Right Time", "Live Together", "What Did I Do To You" and "You Can't Deny It". Both "All Around the World" and "You Can't Deny It" hit No. 1 on Billboard's r+b charts. Affection went platinum in the US and sold a total of 5 million copies worldwide.

In 1992, Stansfield won a Brit award as best British female solo artist. However, her second album Real Love could not live up to the success of 'Affection'. However, it did spawn 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 No. 1 single on Billboard's r+b charts and due to the success of that song the album went gold in the US.
