He was orphaned as a child and wound up living in Kingston. Taking a path that other Jamaican recording artists followed, he began singing in church, and then gained prominence by winning on the Vere Johns radio talent competition. Stanley recorded reggae as Stanley & The Turbines and in The Starlites. Although clearly reggae, his music had a tinge of mento, displaying a country sound, especially due to Stanley's mento style vocals. When the mento influence was stronger, his recordings could best be described as "mento-reggae".
Before moving to mento, Stanley Beckford released several reggae albums and numerous singles from the early 1970s to the late 1980s, enjoying hits such as "Soldering" and winning Festival three times.

A chiney man from Montego Bay
Come up a town to make up a stay
He was crazy over a decent girl
Yes, and him get one with many a curves
Him say, "Gyal! I love you to death"
"Free food and money you shouldn't get"
"But it's one thing you got to understand..."
"You must not romp with a nehgah man!"

Next day John went downtown for a walk
And when him come back him couldn't stop

"A nehgah man a trouble mi kisiloo!"
