William Bell - The Soul Of A Bell '1967

Tracks list

William Bells history illustrates just how singles-oriented soul was in the
1960s. Though hed enjoyed a hit in 1961 with You Dont Miss Your Water, it wasnt
until 1967 that Stax finally released his first album, the magnificent The Soul
of a Bell. From that classic and Bells moderate hits Never Like This Before and
Everybody Loves A Winner to heartfelt versions of Do Right Woman, Do Right Man
and Ive Been Loving You Too Long, everything on this album (reissued on CD in
1991) illustrates the gospel-drenched richness of Southern soul. Meanwhile, the
influence of Motown and the Four Tops is hard to miss on the riveting single
Eloise (Hang On In There), which should have been a major hit, but surprisingly,
never even charted. The 2002 CD reissue adds alternate versions of You Dont Miss
Your Water and Any Other Way. ~ Alex Henderson
