JT and his voice/falsetto were monumentally underrated. It is quite simple in my mind as to why: During the prime of his stint with Kool And The Gang, there were soooooo many other great groups and Lead singers. God gives JT his due.
I had so much fun playing JT,s girl friend. Although the first big snow in NY that winter... very cold, thank God we shot the rest inside for 16 hrs. George Brown the drummer is an excellent song writer. Although I lost one of my favorite earrings in the elevator shaft on the way up in the second scene, I forgot about it when I got to know the group. Great experience!
+Tamar Jackson That's cool that you got to be in the video, I was 16 when this came out and loved it..I did not even really know of their 70's music until later
Kool and the gang one of my favourite bands i saw them in concert recently and i enjoyed the concert very much kool and the gang imagination and shalamar was my era i listened to them a lot when i went to school years ago this is proper music not the rubbish music we have these days
I love Kool and the Gang. JT is one of the most underappreciated lead vocalists ever IMHO. Without JT joining the band (in the late 70's?) they don't get to the top like they did. That being said, having that many kick ass instrumentalists in one pop/r&b band in today's world is simply unfathomable. The mold is broken boys. Well done.
They Did have a few hits before JT but nothing like the sound they aquaried after they got JT. They even switched produceres mid stream and it was JT's vocals as well as better managment that carried then forward. It's really sad some of the members of the band had problems with JT which led to the breakup.. you'll have to read the whole story.. he's in his 90's now and I'd LOVE to meet him shake his hand and get his autograph.. and I'm White.. Forget that other "popular" James Taylor.. JT was the Real James Taylor.
He is 70 years old. JT was and is Kool and The Gang. He gave them their fame and name. He put them on the map. They tried to take away his royalties. His solo music is great and underrated. @@DivergentDroid
@@lapson19 I'm sure the 90 was just a typo as I had just read a bunch of stuff about his life before I wrote that. The band did continue to do well after JT joined but I'd say it was their 1973 album that gave them their first two top 10 hits and another on the top 40 chart that put them on the map. Their next album in 74 got them on Soul Train with a new single and the album after that had another top 40 hit. That's nothing to sneeze at. Most bands never get that far. In fact I'd say if the band had not had those huge successes they might never had been a position to acquire JT. JT was obviously joining a band that was already established with a string of hits. JT did not give them the name. That came from founding band member "Robert "Kool" Bell".
All the best Music, von Euch hab ich zuhause 🏠 , Songs senk you in all the World 🌎 , in me life . 🎉🎄🌲🎹🎼👩🎤🎺🗽💖🎩🇩🇪🎤 . Kool and the Gang , J. T. Taylor. 🗽📀🎤🌎👑🎩
I adore the fuck out of this song. I know it's more 80s pop than real R&B, but it's really one of those smooth ballads and is totally overlooked and forgotten these days.
Great video, great song, great memories. "Stone love" was a hit here in Kenya back in 1986. And the strumming on the bass guitar by Robert "Kool" Bell at 2:24 still kills me. Best Regards, Michael M. Kamau, Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa, 20th November 2023.
I am back listening to this jam on 30 April 2022, TIMELESS!!!! One of my BESTEST groups ever!!!! love love love to everyone globally...FROM SOUTH AFRICA
September,2022 and JT has blown me away with his awesome vocal range. Eumir Deodato did a great job producing this song for Kool and the Gang. It's a permanent feature in my play list. I love this jam.
STONE LOVE......WHAT CAN I SAY ...WHEN MUSIC WAS MUSIC....I MISS THIS VERSION OF KOOL AND THE GANG.......THANKS FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL MEMORIES THAT COME RUSHING WHENEVER I HEAR YOU GUYS...LOVE YOU....THANKS FOR THE UPLOAD...MADE MY DAY........STONE LOVE ..ALL...PEACE
This is the by far the best song ever made!!!! I am a DJ and have listened to thousands and thousands of songs and this very song tops the list! Thank you Kool & The Gang!
This is one of those songs that reminds me of the good times from the 80’s when I was in my 20’s, good job, riding around in my new car, hanging out with friends enjoying life! Memories! I miss those times so much!
This was my shit back in '87! I wish there were still more R&B bands out there like these guys and EWF. Musicians using instruments to play music instead of using samples and backing tracks, and having rappers on all their songs because they know the music can't stand on its own.
I miss those days.
kool and the gang where are you?? love your music foreverrrrrrrrrr
My favourite dance song. I'm over 50years but still dancing on this sond 😂
Hi me to its great isin it lovely voice im in my 50 s aswell ❤ to you on this one ❤😊

Congratulations on the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame guys!!! Well deserved!!!
The 80s songs the music l grew up listing ing to my favorite of all times
STONE LOVE....Still rocking it in 2024!!!
JT has an awesome voice. One of the best falsettos I've ever heard.
JT and his voice/falsetto were monumentally underrated. It is quite simple in my mind as to why: During the prime of his stint with Kool And The Gang, there were soooooo many other great groups and
Lead singers. God gives JT his due.
I wish my man whose handsome too could sing like that
A beautiful and childish voice like the one of Emmanuel Le Blanc in his so talented group GQ
One of My all-time top 5 voices. He is so gifted. gosh❤❤❤
If he's a Falsetto doesn't that mean he's faking it... ? ( It's an old music joke, don't take offense)
We never grow old anymore when listening to JT.and the Kool & the gang
Yes your so right getting old is just a number❤
Exactly...those sounds take us back
That Guy of the Bass guitar+the UNIQUE voice of Mr.JTTaylor;they killed it well beautifully!!!!!
That's Kool! He's great right! ❤
I m italian boy of 30 years fan of this song
You' re right Giordano !

One of my favorite songs from Kool and the Gang!
Kool and the gang one of my favourite bands i saw them in concert recently and i enjoyed the concert very much kool and the gang imagination and shalamar was my era i listened to them a lot when i went to school years ago this is proper music not the rubbish music we have these days
Kool & The Gang was hit making machine back in the day
He'll yeah Kool and the gang bad asses I love their songs
OASIS WILL NEVER TOP KOOL AND THE GANG ❤😊
What's amazing about Kool N the Gang is how well they transitioned from the 70s to the 80s. They fit the sound of both decades so well.
I agree. Well put.
I love Kool and the Gang. JT is one of the most underappreciated lead vocalists ever IMHO. Without JT joining the band (in the late 70's?) they don't get to the top like they did.

I agree with you I love cool and the gang ever since I was really young call and the gang needs to play some more music go cool in the gang with a K

KOOL & The Gang totally rocked the 80’s with tunes like this hit.
Awesome vocalist

Fo some reason this song was playing on my mind tday I forgot the title but I kept thinking bout it n searched on yu tube .gosh best song ever .🥰
Salut, moi je trouve le morceau très r&b au contraire.. magnifique chanson.
Ur so right forgot about this song Stone Love by Kool n the Gang. God I miss music.
I don't think this song was ever as popular as it should have been.
This is actually a very strong song in my opinion and a real old fav to be sure!#underrated
This is one of my favorite songs by Kool and the Gang. Testifies to love that will last a lifetime.
The 80s were the best decade ever
Today is 13 years this fantastic song insert on youtube thursday 8th october 2009

JT Taylor is my favorite singer with Kool & the Gang and in general you're awesome bro
Kool and The Gang. 💯 🎼
I remember the first time I saw this video in 07 on a tapped vhs tape
This Song Went To Number 10 On The Billboard Hot-100 Chart In 1987.
I've seen kool and the gang in concert 3 times and JT is truly missed
Hate to say, but when JT left the group, I also left the group.
@MsTaurus37 why did he leave the band?
Kool and the Gang's very last hit in the USA. Still sounds so good!
#12 On Billboard Top 100 This week April 24 1987
I miss this era
Don't we all, Cheryl? I grew up during this time, and was 15 going on 16 at the time "Stone Love" was on the airwaves.
I was glad 2 b apart of it
4EVER KOOL & THE GANG😊
The 80s when there was real talent & singers could actually sing & no autotune needed...sigh...I miss real music....I miss the 80s!!
Kool & the Gang The number 1 band of all time as far as I'm concerned, my childhood I'm just in love with them at the highest levels
Ich höre das sehr oft , eure super super good American Music 🎼.

Are you sure he produced it? I know he produced all their big early 80s hits. But this one?
We love this group. Total charisma.
Came to this after hearing it on an 80s internet channel. Man... I miss the vibe and fun of this music from the late 80s!
I was mesmerized first time seeing this
Gosh, the singer is so handsome!!!💘
I've loved this song since I was a kid. I wish men returned to singing about the joy of love like this.
