Her first television appearance was on a talent programme in the Granada TV area in 1982. She won it singing The Human League track "The Things That Dreams Are Made Of". The series was produced by the then Head of Light Entertainment at Granada TV, Johnny Hamp.

After releasing several unsuccessful singles in her mid-teens, she co-hosted a Children's TV pop show, Razzmatazz with Alistair Pirrie; additionally, Stansfield could be seen in 1983 children's television series The Krankies Klub, alongside comedian Jimmy Cricket and pop rock band Rocky Sharpe and the Replays. She became a major international star, still keeping her thick Heywood-ian (Lancashire) accent; in reference to the latter and to her working class background (and likely in tribute to all she had managed to accomplish), Shaun Ryder from Happy Mondays once said that Stansfield's family "makes mine look posh".[citation needed] There is a common misperception that Lisa Stansfield is related to the late Gracie Fields (whose real name was Grace Stansfield and who hailed from Rochdale). However, Stansfield does own a recording studio called Gracielands.
