Stoneface And Life Everlasting :: Love Is Free (1973)

Stoneface_Love-Is-Free_1

By the time he rounded up a pack of teenage musicians to form Life Everlasting, Innocent “Stoneface”  Iwuagwu was a veteran of many top Eastern Nigerian bands (including The Tall Men, The Postmen, In Crowd, The Soulmen, The Hygrades, and Ify Jerry Krusade).

Not having the financing to purchase all the necessary gear, they used instruments made by local carpenters and had amps and pedals built by their good friend and electronics guru Goddy Oku. They recorded their first single, “Love is Free” b/w “Agawalam Mba” at the EMI studio in Lagos. The record was a hit and they went on to record another single,”Everyday” b/w “Love Him” — and as the story goes, Stoneface ‘thinks they may have recorded a third single, but he can’t remember what it might have been called.” Onto the tape and into the ether. words / cognoscere
