Legendary soul star William Bell shares his 70s memories with Johnnie.

Legendary soul star William Bell shares his 70s memories with Johnnie.

William Bell's career started in the 1950s when he joined the Phineas Newborn Sr band as a teenager. He signed to Stax in 1961 and delivered one of the iconic soul label's earliest hits with 'You Don't Miss Your Water'. He also co-wrote, with Booker T. Jones, the iconic song 'Born Under A Bad Sign' for Albert King, which was later famously covered by Cream. In more recent years he has been covered by Carole King, sampled by Kanye West, and feted by Snoop Dogg.

Also on the show, Johnnie digs out some of the best of the 大象传媒 archive, and another listener helps to add a classic seven-inch single into Johnnie's Jukebox.
