Even at 20 years old Joss Stone admires
the who’s who of vintage soul, 70’s R&B
and Motown Pop including Al Green, Aretha Franklin, James
Brown and Natalie Cole.
“I like real singers, not just a pretty
girl dancing around or a bunch of good-looking boys,”
Stone remarked. “For me, it’s all about the
voice. That’s why I go back to these kinds of artists.
The classic soul singers and the people working today who’ve
taken to heart what they did – I feel their energy
so deeply, and they inspire me to be real.”
