Stone Love The "World Immortal"

Stone Love is one of the most decorative sound system in Jamaica to date.



It made its entry into the dancehall business in the early 1970's. It has been for the past 37 years the sound system with the most dancehall patrons.

Promoters are of the view that it is the best in the business. The House of Leo was where it played mostly in the 1980's and patrons would boast about going to hear stone love's entertainment.

Owned and operated by Winston "wee-pow" Powell this has been one of his best investment.

Powell was 17 years old when he purchased a component set from a technician. He continued to purchase and add equipment until he made them into a nice little sound.

From the start he had the support of his brother Cecil Powell and Winston Rooms.

Maintaining a sound is hard work and giving the perfect name is important. Wee-pow actually went through three names before finding his true love.

Sir Coxone, Pisces and Stone in love were actually the names he choose before find deciding to go with the current name.

This was mostly an uptown sound and was not introduce to the down town community also known as "Ghetto" until 1983.

This sound plays all genres of music and if you should attend any of its session, you are sure in for a treat.
