It's easy to hear why Gram Parsons was so taken by by Bell. He had a very easy going 'croon' vs a 'growl' that so many other soul singers relied on. His style was earnest, easy going & very soulful. Parson's & the Byrds waxed "You Don't Miss Your Water" for the Sweetheart LP & along with Bell, truly immortalized this song. The Burrito's & Parsons also recorded "Do Right Man" in their country rock version. But, that's enough about cover versions. Bell was truly one of Stax's 1st super stars & he was at home with ballads as well as soul movers like "Eloise". The 1st 1/2 of the LP is legendary ballads including "Nothing Takes The Place of You" which in my opinion is one of the all time soul ballads ever & this comes in just under Tousaint McCall's version or maybe even ties it. Bell is still out there playing & recording & I hope to get the chance to see him. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ringing a Bell *by R***Y on Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2013* This is one fine album. It is first rate old skool soul at its finest. I have it on steady - rock steady - rotation at home and the kids are lovin' it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For whom the Bell souls (ouch...sorry) *by D***Y on Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2001* William Bell must have felt like the best light heavyweight on a label of heavyweights. Stax in the mid to late sixties was like a GTO firing on all cylinders and William Bell who helped build the machine was left standing in the driveway. Heres a great way for southern soul fans to hear the underappreciated talent of William Bell. "You Don't Miss Your Water" is a country soul standard having been covered by The Byrds, Taj Mahal, and Gram Parsons. This was one of the earliest releases on Stax and hearing Booker T. play country tinged piano is worth the price of the CD alone. Bell is a smooth soulful singer for the most part although he can pull off a rougher Otis Redding sound when it's called for. Somehow, back in the sixties, I missed out on hearing "Everybody Loves A Winner", the standout cut here. Churchy and soulful, heartfelt and moving, Van Morrison might well have used it as a blueprint for the Moondance album. It's that powerful. This music is, alternately, gritty and ethereal, deeply sad and joyful, filled with the exuberance of youth and the dignity of adulthood. All that is my way of saying that the man has soul. He does'nt mind sharing it either. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/51346927-the-soul-of-a-bell](https://www.desertcart.it/products/51346927-the-soul-of-a-bell) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
