Some people are natural at being total badasses. Look at this guy! I can't get over it. First of all, I love a dude in a pinky ring that is taking himself seriously. It also helps when you are a huge baller in the soul department.
William Bell is a soul singer and songwriter. I have a great deal of love for William for writing the amazing song "You Don't Miss Your Water." It's so good! What a crazy story, too. Little William was just working at Stax as a songwriter and then BOOM! He records his own composish and has a hit. It's his sig song. Willy had a long relationship with Stax Records and released several more tight soul songs on this label.
Willy has been sampled so much in hip-hop. But he really knows how to wail. Just another classic soul singer I really needed you to kmow about. The song I am sharing today has a neat story. It was released in 1968 and in 1986 Billy Idol did a little rearrangin' and released it as "To Be a Lover." LOLZ.
Enjoy William Bell tonight and hopefully he will take an honored place with your other soul songs.
