ALL AROUND THE WORLD (LISA STANSFIELD SONG)

'"All Around the World"' is a song by Lisa Stansfield released in late 1989 for her album ''Affection''. It is her biggest hit to date.
Written and produced by Lisa Stansfield, Ian Devaney and Andy Morris the debut solo single by Stansfield became a massive international hit spending two weeks at #1 on the UK singles chart in November 1989 and reaching the top in 11 other countries. In January of 1990, it peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 but has the distinction of being the first single by a white female singer to top the Billboard R&B chart.
The spoken intro over the piano was Stansfield's attempt at Barry White.
This song was interpolated on the single "Been Around The World" from the Puff Daddy album ''No Way Out''.
In 2005, a cover of the song by late R&B singer Aaliyah was released.
