Joss Stone (born Joscelyn Eve Stoker in Dover, United Kingdom on April 11, 1987) is an English soul singer whose throaty style of singing was influenced by early Motown singers.
Her debut album, The Soul Sessions, consists of classic soul tracks by Betty Wright, Aretha Franklin, Laura Lee and Bettye Swann and was released in late 2003. It reached the top 5 in the UK albums chart, and also made the top forty of the U.S. Billboard 200 album chart.

Joss Stone was nominated for "British Breakthrough Act", and won "British Female Solo Artist" and "British Urban Act", entering the Guinness World Records for being the youngest BRIT Award solo winner at age seventeen.
After achieving critical acclaim for The Soul Sessions, Stone recorded an album full of original songs in 2004 titled Mind, Body & Soul.
It proved to be an even bigger success than her first album, as it debuted at #1 in the UK (breaking the record for the youngest female ever to top the albums charts there, a record previously held by Avril Lavigne).
Stone began working on her third studio album, Introducing Joss Stone, at Compass Point Studios in Nassau, Bahamas, in May 2006.
It was released on 12 March 2007 in the UK on Virgin Records, involving production by Raphael Saadiq and collaborations with Lauryn Hill, Common and Joi.
Stone describes it as "truly me. That's why I'm calling it Introducing Joss Stone. These are my words, and this is who I am as an artist".
The album debuted and peaked at number twelve on the UK Albums Chart. It also debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 selling 118,000 copies in its first week, becoming the highest debut for a British solo female artist on the U.S. chart, surpassing the record previously held by Amy Winehouse with Back to Black. It has sold 60,000 copies in the UK since its release.
Joss Stone was nominated for the MOBO Award for "Best UK Female" in September 2007, but lost out to Amy Winehouse.
Tell Me 'Bout It, the album's lead single, debuted and peaked at number twenty-eight on the UK Singles Chart—where it stayed for three weeks only, and peaked at number eighty-three on the U.S Billboard Hot 100.
The second single, Tell Me What We're Gonna Do Now, a collaboration with rapper Common, made the top sixty-five of the U.S. Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.
Joss Stone turned its music video to a Product Red — this means that the video is available online over iTunes Store and that the gains from these sales revert to Product Red, an organisation which helps women and children in Africa affected by HIV and/or AIDS.
Joss Stone is the first artist to do this, entering the Guinness World Records once again.
On 4 October 2007, Stone's official website confirmed Baby Baby Baby as the album's third single.
Stone's fifth album, LP1 was released on 26 July 2011. The Somehow Songfacts says that the long player was the first release through Stone's own Stone'd Records and was recorded in just a week at Blackbird Studios in Nashville. Stone fought a legal battle with her record company EMI to release her from her contract and The LP1 album title signifies the fresh start the singer felt she was making.
Trivia:
Worryingly for fans of Stone, she recently confessed that singing is not a career she plans to stick to: she told a journalist recently that she would like to give it up in a few years to become a normal housewife with a husband and children.

Tell Me 'Bout It
Joss Stone Lyrics
Joss, how much lovin' do you need?
Do you need it once a day? Twice a day?
Three times a day? Four times a day?
You gotta let me know
I need a little lovin? at least two times a day
So when I call you, boy, you better run here right away
Let's have a show of hands, who's addicted to their man?
If I could do the things I want to you you'd be changin' all your plans
You want to say I'm yours, I want to say get it
You want to say, so say, I know what you're thinkin', babe
So tell me, babe
(Tell me ?bout it)
Tell me how you feel
(How you feel)
And if the feelin?s real
(Feelin?s real)
Tell me what's the deal
(Hey, hey, hey)
Gon' tell you ?bout it
(Tell me ?bout it)
Tell you how I feel
(How I feel)
And if the feelin?s real
(Feelin?s real)
Let's seal the deal
(Hey, hey, hey)
What you think about me and you bein' together?
Could you break or shake my cold and stormy weather?
Hey, have you got this under control?
Show me you know about a woman?s soul
Gon' tell me ?bout it
(Tell me ?bout it)
Tell me how you feel
(How you feel)
And if the feelin?s real
(Feelin?s real)
Tell me what's the deal
(Hey, hey, hey)
Gon' tell you ?bout it
(Tell me ?bout it)
Tell you how I feel
(How I feel)
And if the feelin?s real
(Feelin?s real)
Let's seal the deal, seal the deal
(Hey, hey, hey)
I?ll make you feel the way you wanna feel
I love how it?s real, we're one in two minds
Maybe you'll stick, you'd better be quick
I hope that you heard me right
Tell me, tell me 'cause I won't wait
Suspense, I just hate, so spit it out now
If you feelin' like I do
Won't you come and do it to me?
So tell me, babe
(Tell me ?bout it)
Tell me how you feel
(How you feel)
And if the feelin?s real
(Feelin?s real)
Tell me what's the deal
(Hey, hey, hey)
Gon' tell you ?bout it
(Tell me ?bout it)
Tell you how I feel
(How I feel)
And if the feelin?s real
(Feelin?s real)
Let's seal the deal, seal the deal
(Hey, hey, hey)
Tell me 'bout it
(Tell me 'bout it)
Tell me 'bout it, baby
Tell me 'bout it
Tell me 'bout it, baby
(I really wanna know)
Tell me 'bout it
(Come on now, what's your story?)
Tell me 'bout it, baby

Can Joss Stone come back.. we don't have singers like her right now!!!
Shirley Bradley
@PS Homeboy I respectfully disagree. Her singing style obviously comes from black music but I think she uses her white privilege in a good way. She has worked with many musicians in Africa and posted there videos giving them more exposure. I think she is humble and down to earth. As for high notes I do not think you have to be a perfect singer to be a good singer she has a good low range.
Mauricio Sierra Martinez
@PS Homeboy What? White music? She's a soul singer and she's still doing soul music
