R & J Stone - And we do it (1976)

[@combivan4346]

R and J Stone, this song was big hit in Australia around 1975. Joanne died of a brain tumour in 1979. you can see the love they had for each other. Life is cruel sometimes.

[@StanMichael-n9m]

Joanne Stone was not only beautiful but also had the most magnificent voice that gave justice to this 1976 masterpiece. Gone too soon. #RIP 😞

[@mjones4083]

Wasn't see a cousin of the equally talented singer Madeline Bell ?

[@Tiffany.1970]

So sad Joanne died ..... What did she die of don't mind me asking

[@hammycats6919]

She was the female voice on Paper Lace song "Billy Don't Be A Hero".

[@hammycats6919]

​@@mjones4083Yup that is right.😊

[@hammycats6919]

[@leopoldonotarianni8663]

I remember this so well. It was a hit in early 1976. Another song around this time was "Afternoon Delight" . Lots of one hit wonders in the mid seventies. Every song brings back memories.

[@peterdockrill9653]

I was working at the Butlins holiday camp filey hot summer 1976, distinctly remember afternoon delight ,,silly love songs by PM, soul city walking and young hearts run free. it does Seem like yesterday

Thank you Russell Oliver Stone and Joanne Stone for this simple masterpiece. This is Jan 8, 2021. Man, this song still resonates today! Nothing in the world gonna stop us...To my very special one. God Bless you all.

[@chriskeep7446]

Love this song.Was 16 when it came out Fab music in the 70s Joanne died in 1979,and sad news, Russell has just died 2024 Reunited RIP both of you

[@nunyvanstta135]

I was resident DJ at the Rum Runner in Birmingham from 1974-81. One night a guy came in to promote his latest single, he called himself 'Moon Williams'. He told me that he was Russell of R & J Stone and that Joanne had recently died, I could tell that he was still distraught and not over her death. I always think of him and Joanne whenever I hear this record. I wish him well and hope that he managed to get his career back on track. DJ Paul Anthony

[@RocketCalcutta]

Life can be too cruel! For a couple to go from sharing their special love with the world to having that love sundered by heart breaking tragedy is a terrifying turn around. I can only imagine how Russell must've felt when Joanne was taken from him.

Just travelled in the car on a long journey home and put some old tapes on. This track was on it. Wow, one you don't hear on the radio very much and what a pity; a fantastic song. Thanks for posting. I recall on TOTP there was one performance where Russell sang the first verse and Joanna slowly walked on behind him in time for her to sing the second verse. Didn't realise she had passed away. RIP.

Beautiful duet, Johanna had a voice of an Angel, rip beautiful lady x

[@MrMjp58]

A beautiful song and performance. It's one of those where you wonder if they'll get the high notes - and then they do [it]! What a pair of great vocalists. That [early '76] was a magical time period for me - never to be repeated unfortunately. I could do without Steve Wright's 'downbeat' comments, but each to his own...

[@moretimeneeded56]

R&J Stone were the English/American husband and wife duo, Russell Oliver Stone and Joanne Stone.[1] The pair were originally members of James Last's British Choir for a number of years. They had a hit single in the mid 1970s with their self penned song "We Do It".[2][3] The track was produced by Phil Swern. Some time after their hit, Russell Stone decided that he did not want to remain as a singer, and preferred to concentrate on producing and writing for his wife.[1] Their second album did not do well and a third album, although recorded, was never released. Joanne Stone died of a brain tumour in 1979.[4] Russell Stone later went to Munich to work with the Icelander Thorir Baldursson. Stone is a recovered alcoholic and has released three solo albums, Love Aspects (2013), Groove Aspects (2014) and Devotional Aspects (2016), after spending years out of the music industry.[1]

It must have torn the guys heart out to lose his soul mate at such a young age. Apparently all flower shops for a twenty mile radius were cleared of stock on the day of her funeral. It shows how many hearts were touched by the love they generated. It's sad that Steve Wright felt it necessary to give such a derisory comment to introduce the video, mind you, it's better to be simply thought of as an imbecile than as in his case to open his mouth and confirm the fact.

[@desertrose1226]
