    Throughout history, the Brits had always had a thing for soul music, most notably Northern Soul. And as evidenced here, and much like Teena Marie before her, Lisa's music then and now crosses all boundaries of pop, soul and R&B. This performance at the Apollo was legendary. The black community (and of course, the gays) embraced her groove way before the mainstream crossover audience did. Personally speaking, when I first heard this track, I myself thought she was black (I thought the same when I first heard Madonna's "Holiday). Then the music video came out and I was both stunned, enchanted and HOOKED! Lady Stansfield ruled, and still does today.

    Wow, Respect for Lisa Stansfield. This British Lady has some Soul and Rhythm. It seems that the British were coming so close to the American Soul. And her voice was flawless. Now it only makes me more sad that the other British Soul Lady, Miss Amy Winehouse, died way too soon.

    • @sarcasticallyrearranged
      @sarcasticallyrearranged 8 років тому +28

      Brits, especially from the Northern part of England around her age grew up listening to a lot of black artists and learned to sing from them. Another example, is Mick Hucknall from Simply Red. Blue eyed soul.

      You say british were coming so close to american soul but brits had soul and blues way back in the 60s. The Beatles looked up to little richard, did covers of the isley brothers and would absolutely kill that shit. Then dirty mac came out and you cant tell me that didnt have soul in it. Sure it aint Aretha Franklin rnb type shit but still. Not to mention alot of their house funk dance music they have nowadays is great

This is NOT cultural approriation- it's cultural APPRECIATION. Lisa LOVES black music PERIOD. She grew up listening to all the greats and they were her idols and major influences.

    They have another video on UA-cam where she says "I sing the way I do because I've listened to a lot of black American music. Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, The Ojay's, The Jacksons. I just used to really get into it. While me mum was doing the Hoovering. (laughs) I'd be in front of the mirror with a hairbrush." She also said Barry White was a big influence for the first album. In another interview she says she liked Diana Ross when she was 4 or 5, then named Chaka, Gladys and Aretha.
