Biography

Born April 11, 1966 in Rochdale, Lancashire, United Kingdom. British female vocalist whose 1989 debut album 'Affection' spawned pop and club hits such as 'All Around The World' and 'People Hold On'. 1991's 'Real Love' was another success. The singer enjoyed success on the British pop charts as well as the U.S. R&B charts well into the nineties, scoring a #1 hit on the latter with 'All Woman' and continues to record and perform well beyond the millennium. The career of Stansfield starts already in 1980, in the then successful TV casting show "Search for a Star". She wins the show's contest and starts her career as singer and TV presenter in the age of 14. In her TV show "Razzmtazz", she meets other young stars, for instance the young [a721977]. After problems to stay on the ground due to this early success, she quits the TV show and founds her first band [a131788] together with schoolmates [a49715] and [a1191285]. The band did not manage to be successful and splits up in 1988. But her former bandmates continue to work as producers and songwriters in production studios. They meet [a946] in a collaboration and by chance, the UK electronic duo connects with Lisa as a feature vocalist. This leads in consequence to her successful solo career, which is accompanied by the production and songwriting activity by her two former bandmates for her solo work. Andy leaves the trio around 1993. [a49715], who is in relationship with Lisa for the last years, marries her in 1998. She is married to schoolmate [a49715], with who she recorded her first demo tape.

LYRICS

(L. Stansfield/I. Devaney/ A. Morris)
Spoken:
People say they care, but when it come down to it
Do they have what I'm singing for
Let's sing it for
Sincerity
Sincerity

People, rushin' 'round in their lonely lives
They'd like to care for others, but frankly,
They don't have the time
'Cause they're always doin' the things
They have to do so they'll be alright
Their always lookin' out for their own side
People think they've got priorities right

Chorus:
Sincerity
The road we need to travel for a better way of life
Sincerity
An attitude we need to take if we want to survive
Come on give me (come on) sincerity
Come on give me (come on) sincerity

Heartaches, everybody now and then
They're cryin' out for others,
to listen to them like a friend
But we're always sayin' we don't have the time
But we really sympathize, maybe another time
Don't think about tomorrow
Do it while you've got the chance

(Chorus)

Come on give me (come on) sincerity
Come on give me (come on) sincerity

But we're always sayin' we don't have the time
We really sympathize, well, maybe another time
Don't think about tomorrow
Do it while you've got the chance

(Chorus)
