Legend has it that Luther Vandross once said to En vogue he already had a background singer who could outsing all of you. That background singer of Luther Vandross was Lisa Fischer.
First of all, Lisa was never comfortable being in the limelight. There are a lot of insinuations here by many people. Her debut album “So Intense” was #1 on the Billboard R&B Charts, 3 songs from that album were top 20 hits with “How can I ease the pain” reaching No. 1, so it wasn’t like she wasn’t grinding out hits or not selling any records, she was. After winning the Grammy for best R&B Female Vocal Performance, she went back to singing backup for her good friend Luther. A nice long stint with the Rolling Stones, and Tina Turner, some projects here and there, soundtrack for the motion picture, Made In America with Whoopi Goldberg and Ted Danson. Lisa is a very humble person. It was Luther that encouraged her to go solo. But she loved being a back-up singer to her friends.
@dipsy do, bingo!!!! I read an interview with her years ago! Unfortunately for us it just wasn't her thing! I did get to hear her live though! During a Luther concert, he brought her forward to sing this song! Blew my mind!!!
I can attest to the fact that she is a beautiful and humble human being. I've been to the last two concerts she held in my city, and each time I spoke with her she was so warm and attentive. The first time I met her she held me in a warm embrace for what felt like a long time, then she let me go and engaged in a dialogue with me for a few minutes before moving on to the next individuals who were waiting to meet her. She never rushed and she always paid attention to what you were saying...She truly is a gift to the world. My wish is that people who get to see her in concert, get to experience that Lisa.
Excuse me. I learn English. Can you please explain the difference between this two words: singing and songing? I understand these are two different forms of one word, but what does it mean in this case?
The difference is a black lingo term Meaning that she didn’t just sing the song she went above and beyond what a normal singer would do. The passion the adlibs the power the strength of the performance is showing through. So we hen you see a comment like she put her foot in it or she didn’t just sing she sang that song that’s what it’s meant to imply.
Nobody is singing like this in R&B plus she is not just R&B, she's versatile. She sang with The Rolling Stones, Tina Turner, and many more. She's freakin awesome.
Lisa said she preferred singing background versus a solo career. She knew the game and didn’t want to be a part of it. She got her Grammy and said "see ya!"She CHOSE only to do one album.
Thanks for your reaction. Lisa never wanted a career like Whitney's or Mariah's. She did not want the FAME that came with it. She likes the idea of going out to the grocery store and not being recognized. She loves and is comfortable with singing background for the best in the music industry. She talked about this (fame) in the biography "Twenty Feet from Stardom".
I believe she just didn't care for the stardom. Speaking of that, people should watch "20 feet to Stardom", as it gives an insight on why she chose to be in the background!
I was at a Luther Vandross concert when he brought out Lisa Fischer and she sang this song.... Wow!!! What a Voice, she should be better known with those Great Voices... Beautiful...
Lisa is one of the biggest singer gifts this world ever got. She has it all and makes fireworks deep inside my heart with her singing and feeling with the music. I have belived that Whitney was unreachable, but Lisa can what ever she want. I just saw a documentary called Twenty Feet from Stardom where she say's she don't want a life where she must hide behind sunglases, so she just want a normal life as I understand. We just have to respect her wishes and listen to all she done.
She is in my top 10 female vocalist of all time. Truly under appreciated in the modern era, and she can sing Live and blow the doors off the entrance. I wish she would have made more albums, but she likes to sing backup for Legendary artists.. Lisa is a walking, singing songbird who I love very much.
Lisa use to sing background for Luther Vandross and if you look at some of Luthers old concert videos, you’ll see Lisa and you can still see her singing background for The Rolling Stones sometimes out front with Mick Jagger, she never really wanted to be a solo artist, these are her own words. She won a Grammy for this song in 1991, there was no such thing as auto tune then, what you heard in the studio is what it was, auto tune wasn’t created and available until 1997, the late 90’s ….
I think if she had gotten the right support from the record company she would have had more songs to compare to all the biggies of that time and genre. Her voice is exquisite and she still sounds the same today! 🙂
Love your reaction to this! Lisa Fischer’s voice is definitely angelic and your facial expressions as she hits the longer and whistle notes are perfect for how I’m sure many would react as they enjoy a beautifully timeless song.
Lisa is strong, has her live and her career together, still have a sensational voice and most important she took the right path and is still with us. You are on point Sir.
Lisa is one of the most respected and talented artist and humble, and possibly the kindest and most giving human on the planet..... here she is today. Go to 48:00 Gimme Shelter.... She is as incredible as she has ever been.... keeps getting better and better..... loves what she does.... always will..... talk about success ? She has achieved it..... just a beautiful soul with an incredible gift.
She hits that high note in such a Minnie Rippertonesque fashion. She has a beautiful voice that makes you feel that pain and needing it to be eased. If you don't know who the iconic Minnie Ripperton is she is the comedic actress on Saturday Night Live Maya Rudoph's mom.
As a 55 year old who was around to experience music of the mid to late 20th century, have to say I was very lucky to have grown up in this most creative era of artists and music! Listening to this music brings a literal year to my eye! It's so good! There are many great artists and musicians today, but this level of artistry will never be repeated again! It's so good! 💯
Ms. Fischer is the singer who holds that high note on the song "Give Me The Reason" by Luther Vandross...She is amazing! Luther had the best backup singers in the industry, he knew how to blend their voices beautifully. If your interested, please watch this live version to see what I am talking about ruclips.net/video/7rvessZA9P8/видео.html
Your face at 6:50+ was me the first time I saw/heard this version. Right down to the 30 second long stank face combined with the most intimate understanding of the pain she is singing. Just damn.
The reason Lisa is not mentioned in the same category as Whitney or Mariah had nothing to do with her lack of talent or machine pushing to make her successful. Lisa was huge when she released her #1 album and her #1 single (How can I ease the pain). Lisa started out as a background singer (which she loved doing) and Luther Vandross felt that she had the chops to be a star. Luther encouraged her to do an album, so she put out a very successful album and even won a Grammy. Lisa said that she felt like she accomplished the ultimate goal that a singer strives for (Winning a Grammy) so there was nothing else to prove. So she left the spotlight while she was still on top and returned to singing background. She has said that she enjoys that more than being a solo artist. So even though we love and appreciate her gift she CHOSE to step out of the spotlight. If she had continued to do solo music she would definitely be in the same category as Whitney and Mariah.
very unique reaction, i love how you brought up how she sounds like she has been though something. There is rarely this time of true depth of singing now..
Have you seen her with Rolling Stones? Amazing version of Gimme Shelter live. She toured with them for 20+ years, always a stand out. Love that voice!!
Ed, I saw her with the Stones in '97 in Columbus Ohio and she slayed Gimme Shelter. My goosebumps had goosebumps. Until I got my tour program I was sure Merry Clayton herself was singing it. Lisa is up there with Anita Baker as far as great female singers go. I agree she should have been huge.
@@DramaSydETV ...i loved your critique of her song...you are giving me...the hip black vocal music professor with the serious black baptist church choir background vibe...and thats needed on you tube ...for real...
It's been said that lisa didn't want the line life it was Luther Vandross who wanted her who produced along side Nevada Michael Walden her first album after winning a Grammy alongside Patti LaBelle that year Lisa was slighted to make another album for Elektra records it never came to tuition Lisa is very comfortable in her own skin she still do concerts but small concerts Lisa is very comfortable what she does she travels and performs in other countries as well she likes living as a normal girl.
Your video showed up after I was looking up this song. So here’s the deal, picture this. Ready? A 10 year old, 5th grade white girl with this song (and Troop “I will always love you”) all day every day that year. Still to this day I still absolutely LOVE both songs and they still get me! Just my opinion, but Whitney & Mariah have nothing and I mean nothing on Lisa. No disrespect to those very talented woman, but Lisa is on a whole other level! Lisa and Anita Baker💗💗💗💗💗💗💗 YES!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 They sure don’t make “Sangers” like this anymore. They don’t sing my friend and you nailed it! They SANG!
Such grace n poise!! I woulda have loved to hear her n Whitney sing 2gether!! I listen to this song several times eryday!! I'm proud of her success. Also glad that she didn't sell out her morals n values for fame. She knows she has a God given talent. That 1 song alone will 4eva b famous!! I like alot of artist but she n Whitney I'll 4eva love their music bcause it flows from the heart!! They brought passion alive!!
I recall a comment Patti Austin once made when asked why she didn't tour more. She said "Why should I? I can make a half mil a year and sleep in my own bed every night." In a lot of ways that was Lisa Fischer's attitude as well. She was perfectly happy being "The A-List Call Voice" and her career reflected that. It still does. Lisa is a "singer's singer", a Stradivarius in a world of fiddles. No doubt about that.
Yup, great points here....most importantly, she was completely content and happy to sing in the background. Imagine that, put out one album, win a Grammy, then, "all right, I'm out!"
Idk that she wanted to be a mainstream solo artist. With a voice like that she got to make her money, live the lifestyle and I’m sure she was/is STILL in HIGH demand AND she’s had way more longevity than most solo artists 🤷🏽♀️
It was her choice to NOT be big. She wanted to be a background singer. Luther Vandross was the one that encouraged her to put out an album. She liked being in back. It’s a shame too cuz her voice is 🔥.
Enjoyed your ending commits you nailed it. Here's my in site. Her Skills on this song was such a threat to other female artists to step there game up + her label didn't know what to do with her great sounding voice. There were 2 others i can remember in the 90's were in her kind of in her range were Christina Aguilera, Shirley Murdock when she did her solo career. After the mid 90's the females With true skills, range & that gave true emotions died. Today i only found a few artist that show some emotion in there music are Niia, Yuna & Bonfryre. But not at the level of the 3 i commit on. Which i don't we'll here again. Thank god we still there music/videos to lesson, reminisce & to enjoy. Keep up doing a good job.
Your Opinion Was Right On Point. The Truth. So Agree that She Had the Caliber As Whitney!!.Also Singing The High Notes Like Mariah. Once Again Eloquently Stated..Thank You⭐🙏⭐
There is NO ONE Like Her Period! Say What You Want! It took Sylvia Rhone to talk her into doing a solo album. Then Luther Signed her to his label to do more solo albums and he passed away before she could make another solo album. Just like Dipsy Do said she did not like the limelight I was fine doing background vocals. She is a very humble person! Beside background vocalist are some of the most versatile vocalist there is. Anybody can sing lead vocal, because they are not required to be able to singer many different forms and very few lead or solo artist can! Trust, she was not missing work throughout her illustrious career and still performs to perfection!
I agree totally with that assessment. She is just as good if not better 👀💪👍🙄better😍in my opinion. Her vocals range is total power and so clear and you just want more. I really don't know why she's not above and beyond them. Thanks for your opinion it really hit the point.
Just saw her a documentary on Netflix and she wasn't comfortable in the front...but her voice is AMAZING and she's done a more jazzy version of this and to me sounds better...
Always been a huge Lisa Fischer fan. I wonder if she just prefers working as a backup vocalist, like she has with The Rolling Stones, or if she wasn’t given enough of a chance with the record company’s. She’s such a talent.
She is awesome, and I must speak up for the generations before her. You had Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Minnie Riperton, Stephanie Mills, and a host of "real" singers that contributed to this class of singers.
Lisa Fischer join the Rolling Stones in 1989 at the principal back up vocalist, and has been tour with them since then. The album deal came about pretty randomly, and she wasn't really interested of motivated to complete another album. It was really her choice. Secondly both Houston and Carey are POP artists not R & B, they were not signed to be R & B artists, they were not cross over artist, despite what BS you might read on Wikipedia. They were signed and marketed for the Pop charts. Lisa was not, she was signed to be an R & B artist.
She can hold those high notes in a long session rhythm like Melba Moore and her mannerisms are nothing less than a professional seasoned operetta style.
She didn't like the spotlight and stardom and all the bullshit that came with it. She chose to go back to background singing at the height of her career. She was about to blow up. They were prepared to give her the backing. She didn't want it. Constant comparisons to other artists and the stress. Industry is dirty bro.
You right she SANGING. But during this time they were putting it down and it stirred the soul which made you make that face, and say "That's My Song." She said she never wanted to be a solo act even after her Grammy win; she preferred to be a backup for Luther Vandross.
Id like to see you react to Tamyra Gray's "Raindrops Will Fall". That song makes the hair on my back stand up. I'd like to see you also react to Lisa's "So Intense" and "The Colors of Love"
In Lisa Fishers case. I have to disagree with you. It doesn't matter if she had the string of hits like Whitney or Mariah. As a vocalist she is right there with them. As well as Rochelle Farrell. Who is another amazing vocalist who to me sounds better than Mariah and a lot of other singers.
I love her and wasn't saying anything to discredit her, I was simply stating i didn't know much about her, and I was curious as to why she wasn't as big as them, granted her voice was perhaps better even in my estimation., thanks for watching!
Lisa never wanted to be in the limelight, Luther Vandross literally begged her to take a chance on herself. This woman's range and vocal ability is otherworldly. There's a reason no one has remade or even attempted to remake this song. I am a HUGE Whitney and Mariah fan but even they can't touch Lisa! Sorry just saying🤷
She won a Grammy with this track with her first album debut in 91' - couldn't handle the lime light and went back to backing vocals with Luther , the Stones etc . Her whistle tone and vocal acrobats are sensational - one of the best vocalists of our time. Had the pleasure of seeing her perform at the Barbican centre in London.
A vocalist looks relaxed on stage. Doesn't struggle with difficult passes or upper range issues. Look at her. Completely doing what comes natural to her. As opposed to others **cough Mariah** who look like they're in pain when they sing....and i use that term loosely when it comes to her.
Oh you tried it though. Lisa Fischer, I love the women and she's one of the greatest who's up there with MARIAH and many others! Now, difference is yes Lisa is older BUT Mariah's been doing this solo for 30 years, not as a background singer but as the lead artist, 15 studio albums she has recorded with countless takes, remixes etc, 1000s of shows etc. And yes it may look like Mariah is up there singing while in pain and that's because she is 🤦♀️ she has nodules and has had them for her entire life ever since she was a child but the fact that sh managed to even create 15 albums and still have a career 30 years later and is one of the greats is beyond incredible, she did the impossible while suffering. So don't try and bring Mariah down just do you can uplift Lisa. Mariah isn't only a skilled vocalist who's had to sing around her nodules but us also one of the best female Songwriters/producers and in the top 5 of all time. Y'all really love to bring Mariah down and for what?
She chose not to have a string of hits. This was enough for her. She hated the experience of dealing with the industry as a leading act. Says a lot about how corrupt the music business is that you have someone as talented as Lisa…someone who also had superstar looks…but would rather go back to singing background after immediate success with their first single (including a Grammy).
Legend has it that Luther Vandross once said to En vogue he already had a background singer who could outsing all of you. That background singer of Luther Vandross was Lisa Fischer.
Luther wasn't lying!!
She did sing backup for him
Wow
Luther never said.
Wow, I never knew that.
SANGING her ass off❗❗❗ And whoever she singing about was putting some meat down lmao
She earned the hell out of that Grammy she won...fire
This lady was bad!! Hands down one of the best vocalist I’ve ever heard in my life!!
💯
First of all, Lisa was never comfortable being in the limelight. There are a lot of insinuations here by many people.

She's like whitney and Mariah combined!! Vocals are insane!

She was so underrated it's not fair. They need to be writing songs, just for her voice alone, PERIODT
most amazing singe ever....She didn't have the ego! She was to humble for the biz...
I believe she just didn't care for the stardom. Speaking of that, people should watch "20 feet to Stardom", as it gives an insight on why she chose to be in the background!
Such vocal control, Such vocal range!
She gives me chills every time she sings. I love Lisa so much!
I was at a Luther Vandross concert when he brought out Lisa Fischer and she sang this song.... Wow!!! What a Voice, she should be better known with those Great Voices... Beautiful...
Her voice is ridiculous 😭. The best I've heard
Lisa is one of our best singers EVER!
I don't even know how many times and versions of this song I've listened to since last night.
That Voice is nothing but an instrument...she’s a beast ..even now in her 60s she still a beast
She could have had that career like Whitney and Mariah it’s just that she didn’t like the lime light. She enjoyed where she was before going solo.
Yaass Mrs. Fischer!! Everytime I see this performance, I get intense chills!❤

da Great Lisa Fischer, underrated voice, real talk
She's awesome, you just feel her. She delivers
OMG! I was blown away when i heard this song back in the 90's.
I definitely put her up there with Whitney & Mariah. But I just base my shit on voice & voice alone. She could go toe to toe with them on vocals.
damn she can SANG... so good :)

She was a back up singer . She didn’t want the spotlight. If she did she probably would have brought the house down . Like with this One ☝️ song

Then Luther Signed her to his label to do more solo albums and he passed away before she could make another solo album. Just like Dipsy Do said she did not like the limelight I was fine doing background vocals. She is a very humble person! Beside background vocalist are some of the most versatile vocalist there is. Anybody can sing lead vocal, because they are not required to be able to singer many different forms and very few lead or solo artist can! Trust, she was not missing work throughout her illustrious career and still performs to perfection!
I agree totally with that assessment. She is just as good if not better 👀💪👍🙄better😍in my opinion. Her vocals range is total power and so clear and you just want more. I really don't know why she's not above and beyond them. Thanks for your opinion it really hit the point.
Just saw her a documentary on Netflix and she wasn't comfortable in the front...but her voice is AMAZING and she's done a more jazzy version of this and to me sounds better...
Always been a huge Lisa Fischer fan. I wonder if she just prefers working as a backup vocalist, like she has with The Rolling Stones, or if she wasn’t given enough of a chance with the record company’s. She’s such a talent.
In an interview she did a few years ago, she mentioned that she wasn't comfortable with mainstream fame.
@@CoriNicole19EightyTree I remembered her saying that exact same thing.
Very nice song. Beautifully done. Thank you for the reaction.
She said she didn't want to be a solo singer, she said she preferred doing background
Just phenomenal
You know that Lisa has been singing background vocals on the last several Stones tours
I had no idea, thanks for the info
She is awesome, and I must speak up for the generations before her. You had Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Minnie Riperton, Stephanie Mills, and a host of "real" singers that contributed to this class of singers.
Her SO INTENSE album is one of the few albums I have on LP, CD, and cassette formats. Such a treat to listen to from start to finish!
gonna check it out!
Lisa Fischer join the Rolling Stones in 1989 at the principal back up vocalist, and has been tour with them since then. The album deal came about pretty randomly, and she wasn't really interested of motivated to complete another album. It was really her choice. Secondly both Houston and Carey are POP artists not R & B, they were not signed to be R & B artists, they were not cross over artist, despite what BS you might read on Wikipedia. They were signed and marketed for the Pop charts. Lisa was not, she was signed to be an R & B artist.
Love Lisa. I too miss the 90s. How’s the album coming?
One of my favorite songs of all times. You are right not enough credit. Can you review. Lay with You by El Debarge and Faith Evans.
She can hold those high notes in a long session rhythm like Melba Moore and her mannerisms are nothing less than a professional seasoned operetta style.
She didn't like the spotlight and stardom and all the bullshit that came with it. She chose to go back to background singing at the height of her career. She was about to blow up. They were prepared to give her the backing. She didn't want it. Constant comparisons to other artists and the stress. Industry is dirty bro.
BTW. Love your reactions. For Luther to pick her to sing with him she had to be special, and that she is. Peace.
You right she SANGING. But during this time they were putting it down and it stirred the soul which made you make that face, and say "That's My Song." She said she never wanted to be a solo act even after her Grammy win; she preferred to be a backup for Luther Vandross.
Id like to see you react to Tamyra Gray's "Raindrops Will Fall". That song makes the hair on my back stand up. I'd like to see you also react to Lisa's "So Intense" and "The Colors of Love"
will do!!!
I didn't know how much I needed this.
AHHHhhhHhHHhHHHHH SANNNG IT SANGGGGGG
Her range is better than Mariah and Whitley😍
Dont know how else to say. She put some STANK on this song.
She is best of
Have you seen Patti LaBelle sing “Over the Rainbow” live? If you look it up on here, watch the one where she’s in a red dress lol. Reaction worthy.
Thank you, finally new blood!!!!
In Lisa Fishers case. I have to disagree with you. It doesn't matter if she had the string of hits like Whitney or Mariah. As a vocalist she is right there with them. As well as Rochelle Farrell. Who is another amazing vocalist who to me sounds better than Mariah and a lot of other singers.
I love her and wasn't saying anything to discredit her, I was simply stating i didn't know much about her, and I was curious as to why she wasn't as big as them, granted her voice was perhaps better even in my estimation., thanks for watching!
Lisa never wanted to be in the limelight, Luther Vandross literally begged her to take a chance on herself. This woman's range and vocal ability is otherworldly. There's a reason no one has remade or even attempted to remake this song. I am a HUGE Whitney and Mariah fan but even they can't touch Lisa! Sorry just saying🤷
REACT TO RACHELLE FERREL WITH OPEN ARMS LIVE! MARIAH WILL BE SHOOKT
She won a Grammy with this track with her first album debut in 91' - couldn't handle the lime light and went back to backing vocals with Luther , the Stones etc . Her whistle tone and vocal acrobats are sensational - one of the best vocalists of our time. Had the pleasure of seeing her perform at the Barbican centre in London.
A vocalist looks relaxed on stage. Doesn't struggle with difficult passes or upper range issues. Look at her. Completely doing what comes natural to her. As opposed to others **cough Mariah** who look like they're in pain when they sing....and i use that term loosely when it comes to her.
Oh you tried it though. Lisa Fischer, I love the women and she's one of the greatest who's up there with MARIAH and many others! Now, difference is yes Lisa is older BUT Mariah's been doing this solo for 30 years, not as a background singer but as the lead artist, 15 studio albums she has recorded with countless takes, remixes etc, 1000s of shows etc. And yes it may look like Mariah is up there singing while in pain and that's because she is 🤦♀️ she has nodules and has had them for her entire life ever since she was a child but the fact that sh managed to even create 15 albums and still have a career 30 years later and is one of the greats is beyond incredible, she did the impossible while suffering.
So don't try and bring Mariah down just do you can uplift Lisa. Mariah isn't only a skilled vocalist who's had to sing around her nodules but us also one of the best female Songwriters/producers and in the top 5 of all time. Y'all really love to bring Mariah down and for what?
6:48 DramaSydETV note reaction" I can deep sleep to this note Damn girl sing it"😂😂😂
I forgot..Angela Winbush 😄
That was my girl
She brought out my 3% african american groovin.
Ms Lisa chose to take a step back she wasn't comfortable in the lime light she talked about this years ago it was a personal choice
She chose not to have a string of hits. This was enough for her. She hated the experience of dealing with the industry as a leading act. Says a lot about how corrupt the music business is that you have someone as talented as Lisa…someone who also had superstar looks…but would rather go back to singing background after immediate success with their first single (including a Grammy).
