In this special episode of Rock & Roll High School, we sit down with the incomparable William Bell, a true icon of soul music and one of the original architects of the legendary Stax Records sound. From writing timeless classics like "You Don’t Miss Your Water" and"Born Under a Bad Sign", to mentoring generations of musicians and winning a Grammy decades into his career, William Bell’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary.

Join us as he shares stories from the golden era of Memphis soul, talks candidly about the birth of Southern R&B, reflects on working alongside legends like Otis Redding and Booker T. & the MG’s, and discusses how he continues to evolve as an artist today. It's a deep dive into the legacy, resilience, and creativity of one of soul music’s most enduring voices.
