Second Listen: "How Can I Ease the Pain" (Lisa Fischer)


Noted background singer Lisa Fischer took centerstage back in 1991 with the release of her debut album So Intense.

Released on Elektra Records, So Intense featured Lisa's breakthrough single "How Can I Ease the Pain" that would go onto win her both the Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance in addition to a Soul Train Music Award for Best R&B/Soul Single, Female.

Co-written by Fischer and Narada Michael Walden and produced by Narada Michael Walden and Louis Biancaniello, "How Can I Ease the Pain" spent two weeks atop Billboard's the Hot R&B Singles Chart  and remains a classic 90s staple.

With that said, take a listen to "How Can I Ease the Pain" below and hopefully the documentary she co-stars in 20 Feet From Stardom will pick up the Oscar this year for Best Documentary Feature.
