This man and his music takes me back to the sixties. A young highschool girl from Louisville Ga. He sounds as good today as he did back then. What a gifted singer and showman. Many blessings and wishes are sent to your way Mr Bell.
once in a while I can't sleep, so I throw on my headphones, listen to some music and fold laundry...this has me groovin' not foldin'...the dog thinks im nuts haha I have officially decided my new dream job is to be this man's back up singer
Wow, what a fantastic concert, William Bell, what a voice and a great performer too. Much Kudos to the band and also the sound engineer. The best place by far to listen too to live music on the web. A thousand thank you's for giving such a great location where the very best of music across so many genres can be heard. William Bell you are a treasure too...
Man what a soulful singer. The songs I grew upon. Memphis Stax had some great singers. And just think a White Brother and Sister turned an old movie theater into one of the greatest studios of all time with people like William Bell, Isaac Hayes, Al Green, the great Otis Redding, Carla Thomas, The Staple Singers, Johnie Taylor, Wilson Picket, Booker T and the MGs, Arthur Conley, Eddie Floyd, Sam and Dave (soul man) , Rufus Thomas, and many more. Just think those folks didn’t see color they saw talent.. The greatest singers of all time.. C’mon now. Give it up for William Bell look all them folks he brought in the Tiny Desk. Lawd Hamercy.

To hell with "he's still got it" ... William Bell never lost it! Writing great songs and singing them with all of his heart and soul.
Those are synonims 😝
Brian, I couldn't agree with you more...
Still is synonymous with never stopped...
Whoever is doing the sound for these concerts is doing a great job.
For real !!!
Professor, agreed. Clean sound.

Anyone who loves this should come on over to Memphis! We'd be happy to have y'all!!
William Bell is a Stax Record icon!!
Proof age does not matter when you’ve got SOUL!

The bassist at the beginning's little smile made it for me
Such a sweet, tight, harmonious band. Every note counts.

"We're gonna need a bigger desk..."
My 5 yr old grandson's favourite youtube clip. Mine too.
4:09 Three of Me
It would be fantastic if he could link up with Tower of Power!
He didn't do "I Forgot to Be Your Lover"😢😢😢😢
This has 100k views? You Tube is crazy !
You can hear where van morrison gets a lot of inspiration from
Kinda disappointed he didn’t do I forgot to be your lover
And whoever gives a thumbs down to this got to be an android
I wonder if 'The Three of Me' was inspired by a certain recent Oscars Acceptance Speech...
Sounds like Van Morrison, but better. Did the Irishman steal his sound from Mr Bell?
must have been influenced
First.
