A woefully underappreciated soul singer, William Bell, often in collaboration with Booker T. Jones of MG's fame, wrote some stone cold country-soul classics, including "You Don't Miss Your Water," a hit for Bell in 1961, and "Born Under a Bad Sign," which became the theme song for blues giant Albert King after his version was released in 1967.
