4 out of 5 stars Best comp ever of underrated soul man's work.......2007-08-05

This is another sale attributable to a book by Dave Marsh called "The Heart of Rock and Soul." Which has now gone out of print at least twice and is one of the first items I ever reviewed. Anyway, Mr. Bell is one of several R & B veterans with several singles described in that book. This is the first CD to include all of them. "The Best of" doesn't have "You Don't Miss Your Water" and "Everybody Loves a Winner"; "The Soul of a Bell" has those but not "Private Number" (a duet with Judy Clay) and "I Forgot To Be Your Lover." All are now, finally, available on one disc that covers Bell's Stax career through 1974. [Ironically, Bell didn't reach the Pop Top 40 until he'd left Stax for Mercury. The single, "Tryin' To Love Two", got to #10 (#1 R&B) in 1977. I estimate it's the most successful song of the era I've never heard on the radio then or since. It appears on Volume 18 of Rhino's "Soul Hits of the '70's" series which, as I just checked, is (criminally) OUT OF PRINT.]

5 out of 5 stars How Can This Be A Best Of?.......2006-09-03

5 Stars for William Bell, still sounding , and looking great as ever in the year 2006.. But Where is his biggest hit 'You Dont Miss Your Water'?, and 'Marching Off To War' , and' Eloise -Hang On In There'? , and 'Everybody Loves A Winner'?,and 'Never Like This Before'? This Seems to be a compilation of his later stuff . Some leasing of Masters needs to be done so we can REALLY get the best of William Bell, unless ,in addition , you purchase 'The Soul Of A Bell', CD which has some of these earlier tunes on there .

5 out of 5 stars Very Solid Collection.......2003-09-07

William Bell doesn't get half the attention He should.this Set Highlights His Strong Vocals which Pre-date what Peabo Bryson was doing&also His Songwriting talents.very on point set.

5 out of 5 stars Great voice, Great man.......2001-12-01

Probably best known for his exquisite duet with the sadly-missed Judy Clay (Private Number), William Bell is still belting out the tunes. This collection does a pretty fair job of showcasing his singing and songwriting talents. However, his 1967 album "The Soul of a Bell" is required listening too.

I saw, and met, dear old William when he played the Jazz Cafe in London last year. He was on top form, and sang his heart out - even though there were only a hundred people or so in the audience. He introduced "Sharleen from Texas" to sing Private Number with him. She sang it beautifully - and it was only then that we realised she wasn't from Texas, but in it....
