Well You Don’t Say: 10 White Singers We Once Thought Were Black

Lisa Stansfield
When I was younger, riding in the back of my mother’s van, the local hip-hop and R&B stations used to play the mess out of some “Been Around the World,” so for many years, I just assumed that Stansfield was a black woman who really missed her baby. That was until I clicked to a video channel called The Box one day and finally saw a video for the song. Boy, was I shocked to see that black woman with the powerful, rolling voice was a white woman with really dark, really short hair who liked to wear WAY too much makeup. Either way, that song has stayed in my iTunes rotation for years.
