"Biography" (properly, "Biography - The Greatest Hits") is a greatest hits collection from the Rochdale soul diva Lisa Stansfield, including her solo Number 1 hit "All Around the World", and her Number 1 collaboration "These Are the Days of Our Lives" (with Queen and George Michael), as well as other hits, such as "All Woman, "This Is the Right Time", and the single which launched her solo career "People Hold On" (though originally performed with producing duo Coldcut). The compilation features 17 songs, in between soul and dance, with a touch of pop and disco, including three cover versions.
