Joe Stone is a band from Atlanta, Georgia, best known for the 1995 single "The Party (This Is How We Do It)." That track, featuring Montell Jordan, became a major hit and defined their sound. Their debut album, "All or Nothing," came out in 1993, and they followed it with others like "Say What!" and "The Stone Age."
Their lineup included Joe Stone on vocals, Andre "Lil' Dre" Davis on drums, Jamie Norris on bass, Rodney Bullard on keyboards, and Emmanuel "E.J." Hawthorne on guitar. They formed in the early 1990s, and their music leaned into rhythmic grooves and party-ready energy. Songs like "Bug a Boo" and "Freak (And You Know It)" kept that vibe going.
Later tracks such as "Mind Control" with Camden Cox and the Olympis remix of "Is It Really Love" with Cr3on showed them adapting to different styles over time. They faced some label disputes and criticism, but stayed active as a live act into the 2000s.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
