Amazon.co.uk Review
Having sold over 13 million albums, Lisa Stansfield can lay claim to being the UK's top female vocalist of the last 15 years. Biography, this 17-track compilation, would certainly back up her argument. Including her breakthrough as featured vocalist on Coldcut's "People Hold On", it also contains her debut proper ("This is the Right Time") and a string of absurdly memorable hits, such as "Change", "All Woman", "Never", "Never Gonna Give You Up" and her first Number One, "All Around the World". Each of these slick and soulful efforts highlights both Stansfield's extraordinary voice and a songwriting ability that's rare amongst soul divas. Aside from Queen's "These Are the Days of Our Lives", Cole Porter's "Down in the Depths" and the aforementioned Barry White hit "Never Gonna Give You Up", she cowrote all of these pieces with Ian Devaney and Andy Morris, her former partners in the soul-funk outfit Blue Zone. That cute kiss-curl and array of flamboyant hats may be long gone, but her talent endures. --Dominic Wills

Customer Reviews

A Great Singles Collection
This is an excellent collection from one of British music's most popular females of the second half of the 20th century. Success for Lisa has come all over the world, even in America!

Although Lisa Stansfield hasn't been as commercially successful as she was in the late '80s and early '90s, the later material is just as strong - with The Real Thing being a personal favourite of mine.

There are 17 reasons why you should buy this album, they are all great tracks and it's a real privelige to have so much great material on one album. The Queen/George Michael track sees all profits going to the AIDS charity set up in the name of Freddie Mercury, a very worthy cause, and just one more small incentive to help persuade you to buy this album.

An excellent collection from the Queen of Northern Soul
Well I have to admit to being a little biased here. Lisa Stansfield has been my favourite singer ever since I heard People Hold On with Coldcutt many years ago.

I believe it was called Northern Soul at the time, and Lisa became the Queen.

Over the years the raw edge that she had mellowed more towards ballads, and she created many classic hits like "Change" and "All Woman".

Sadly we dont see too much of her of late and her last album, Moments was a little disappointing.

However this album brings back all the classics, from her energy driven start "All around the World" "This is the Right Time", to the classic ballad singer.

If you have never heard Lisa sing then this is a great start point but please please look into her other albums and you will find songs that in my opinion are better than those that have not been included. Notably "Tenderly" and "A Little More Love" from the "Real Thing" album and the absolutely brilliant "You Cant deny it" from the early and I stillfeel her best "Affection " album.

She has been Queen of Northern Soul and Queen of my heart for many years.

STANSFIELD STANDS OUT
Not much more to add from previous reviewers, but this CD is CLASS.

Excellent tracks (no fillers) and great production.

Not seen Lisa for some time...it's about time we were treated to more of her great singing!
