"All around the world" - Lisa Stansfield

"We chopped that rabbit's head off!" - Lisa, last sunday.

A kiss curl to draw us in, a fisherman's cap to keep us intrigued, a song with plenty of hooks so we will remember it.

Lisa could melt a snowman at a hundred yards... more on that story next month.

"People hold on" - Coldcut featuring Lisa Stansfield

Lisa's the star of the show, with a dapper grey jacket and no hat; the camera finds her and doesn't want to let go. No surprise, when Mr. Coldcut next to her has a big bucket hat and silly shades.

This remains a superlative soul vocal, exactly where we'd hope house music would end up.

And if there are any snowmen in the studio: melt.

"Never gonna give you up" - Lisa Stansfield

@PetterOfCats was exactly right. Lisa Stansfield is her generation's Barry White, and to prove it, she's covering a song by Barry White!

Lisa's always had an ear for an unlikely cover, turning her vocal to The Style Council's "You're the best thing", Queen's "I want to break free", and The Family Stand's lost classic "Ghetto heaven".
