About Lisa Fischer

Born
December 1, 1958
Genre
R&B/Soul
American vocalist Lisa Fischer was first heard as a background singer on early-'80s releases by Kleeer and D Train. The native of New York City's Brooklyn borough debuted as a lead vocalist under the name Xēna with 1983's "On the Upside," a classic freestyle single. Throughout the remainder of the decade, she was one of the busiest session singers in the industry; she appeared on dozens of contemporary R&B recordings including releases by Angela Bofill, Billy Ocean, Luther Vandross, Cheryl Lynn, and Will Downing. Prior to the decade's end, she established long-term touring associations with Vandross and the Rolling Stones. Her career took a major turn after she signed with the Elektra label. In 1991, she released So Intense, an album that peaked at number five on Billboard's R&B Albums chart and featured the number seven R&B hit "Save Me," as well as the number one "How Can I Ease the Pain" -- the latter of which won the 1991 Grammy for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. She remained active as only with Vandross and the Stones, but with Tina Turner and Chris Botti as well, and she recorded with artists ranging from AC/DC to Bobby McFerrin. She was also featured as the vocalist on house 12"s by Dutch and Lovestorm. In 2013, Fischer was prominently featured on Eclipse, an album from Louie Vega's Elements of Life, and she also appeared in 20 Feet from Stardom, a film about unsung background vocalists. The documentary was well received, and it prompted Fischer to resume her solo career. She began touring with a backup trio called Grand Baton, performing at festivals such as Newport and Monterey Jazz. ~ Andy Kellman
