Winston “Wee-Pow” Powell created the Stone Love sound system in 1972. Although Sir Coxone Dodd created what is known as a sound system, Stone Love set the standards for turntable skills.
Arguably the No one sound in the world, the “Immortal” Stove Love will perform at the Greek Palace on Nov. 19. A household name among other sounds, Stone Love is sure to attract die-hard reggae fans who have followed it closely. Not for the faint or newbie, Stone Love’s put their audience in a trance and take them on a historical music journey. It’s not only what a DJ plays in a club but also, and more important, how the track is played, and Stone Love has mastered the art form that many sounds have tried to emulate.
