Our Take
Our Take
Ah, William Bell, the man in the street, but definitely not your average Joe. This latest compilation of his complete Yellow Stax solo singles from 1968 to 1974 is a true treasure trove for any soul music aficionado.
From the moment you press play, you are transported to a world where groovy basslines and silky smooth vocals reign supreme. Bell's effortless crooning recalls the likes of Marvin Gaye and Al Green, yet he still manages to carve out his own unique sound.
The album showcases Bell's versatility, from the laid-back charm of "I Forgot to Be Your Lover" to the funky swagger of "Happy". Each track is a mini masterpiece, meticulously crafted and expertly performed.
But what really sets this compilation apart is the raw emotional depth that Bell brings to each and every song. Whether he's belting out a heartfelt ballad or getting down and dirty on a soulful jam, you can feel the passion and sincerity in every note.
In a world where music often feels manufactured and soulless, William Bell is a breath of fresh air. The Man In The Street is a testament to his enduring talent and influence in the world of soul music. So, grab yourself a copy, sit back, and let William Bell take you on a journey through the streets of soul. You won't regret it.
