It was around 1993 I think, a smooth dancey-pop kind of thing and all I can remember was the lady spelling out her name twice as part of the chorus, L. I. S. A., L. I. S. A.
Tried researching Lisa Stansfield, but no joy there

Identify this one and I'm a happy bunny! I meant to take a look at the CD in the bar at the time but didn't get around to it. It's puzzled me ever since. It was on the radio once or twice, so nothing too obscure, just one of those things that escaped me somehow.
Seasons Greetings

No idea, but could be to do with 'lisa lisa and cult jam', they did a song mid 80's called ' I wonder if I take you home' or words to that effect

It's not part of Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam 'I Wonder If I take You Home', AFAIK.

So, not sure.

The only other music artist I can think of right now, being called Lisa, is Lisa Keith who did backing vocals on Alexander O'Neal's song Criticize, for example.

Sorry, I can't be of more help.

Alexander O'Neal - Criticize (Extended Version)

Both of the above songs came out in the 80's anyway.

ETA. Seasons greetings to you too.

They sing Lisa Lisa in the chorus of "There's Something Jumping" by Malcom Mclaren which was out in 89 or could it be LSI by the Shamen which came out in 92 - not strictly Lisa but close enough!!!

Found it! Thanks everyone, turns out it was
Lisa Lisa - Skip To My Lu from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LL77 (1994)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYQ0poq11as

Doesn't actually ring a bell if I'm honest, but the descending pitch L.I.S.A.s are all I remember.... bit embarrassing now TBH!

Well, the bassline is kind of OK, I can imagine why it impressed me at the time in the bar with a good subwoofer

Thanks, always good to have a longstanding mystery solved by The Internet! Merry Christmas

We got there in the end. I've added it to my music catalogue in the 'What Are You Listening To Right Now' thread.

I've heard the brass riff somewhere else....
here it is on Bassomatic (William Orbit's funky reggae project) "She's on the phone again"
