Russell Stone of husband and wife UK duo R&J Stone, has died at the age of 78.
R&J Stone (Russell and Joanne) had a 1976 hit with ‘We Do It’ (number 3 Australia, number 5, UK). The ‘We Do It’ album also reached number 12 in Australia in 1976.
Joanne Stone died from a brain tumour in 1979.
R&J Stone only released two albums. The second, ‘R&J’ in 1977 did not do well and Russell decided he would rather be a producer. A third album had been recorded but was never released.
