WILLIAM BELL
It's Time You Took Another Listen
1977 U.S. pressing

Friday night #soul of the highest order.

A very FUNKY kind of mid to late #70s soul; mastered and recorded to perfection, as it is one of the greatest SOUNDING records of that genre and period.

Bell was hugely responsible for the evolution of STAX’s sound, and the dude was an incredible songwriter.

“Yesterday I Lied, Today I Cried” is phenomenal, and the 8+ minute “Morning Glory” is the heartbeat of this entire record.

Super underrated, VERY important dude, and a GREAT record.

Color Me Human by John KaSandra, released on Respect in 1970.

Another one of Kasandra's leftfield sophisticated soul records, a bit hard to pin down, but still Righteous stuff. Recorded for Stax's Respect label, and featuring another installment in Kasandra's "Mose" song cycle -- "Mose part 3", which runs for 15 minutes, and takes up all of side 2. Other tracks include "Poor Black Woman Poor Black Man", "You God", and "Walk Tall (In This Here Land)" - Dusty Groove

Last Night! by the Mar-Keys, released on Atlantic in 1961.

The Mar-Keys, formed in 1958, were an American studio session band for Stax Records, in Memphis, Tennessee, in the 1960s.[1] As the first house band for the label, their backing music formed the foundation for the early 1960s Stax sound...

Their first and most famous recording was the organ- and saxophone-driven single "Last Night" - Wikipedia

A cover version was used as closing credits music for Bottom!

Deep Listening Day #40 — The Complete Stax-Volt Singles 1959-1968 (1991). this 9 CD box set will likely be a two day event. I bought this as a Xmas present for myself back in 91. #Stax was one of the most vital labels in the history of soul music.

...To Be Continued is the fourth studio album by American soul musician Isaac Hayes, issued in 1970 on Stax Records' Enterprise label.

Review by Jason Birchmeier

...To Be Continued no doubt has its share of highlights, the most notable being "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'." The album's most epic moment opens with light strings and horns, vamping poetically for several minutes before Hayes even utters a breath; then, once the singer delivers the song's orchestral chorus, the album hits its sentimental peak -- Hayes elevating a common standard to heavenly heights once again. Elsewhere, "Our Day Will Come" features a nice concluding instrumental segment driven by a proto-hip-hop beat that proves just how ahead of his time Hayes was during his early-'70s cycle of Enterprise albums...

The Soul Of A Bell by William Bell, released on Stax in 1967.

The Soul of a Bell Review by Alex Henderson

William Bell's history illustrates just how singles-oriented soul was in the 1960s. Though he'd enjoyed a hit in 1961 with "You Don't Miss Your Water," it wasn't until 1967 that Stax finally released his first album, the magnificent The Soul of a Bell. From that classic and Bell's moderate hits "Never Like This Before" and "Everybody Loves A Winner" to heartfelt versions of "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man" and "I've Been Loving You Too Long," everything on this album (reissued on CD in 1991) illustrates the gospel-drenched richness of Southern soul. Meanwhile, the influence of Motown and the Four Tops is hard to miss on the riveting single "Eloise (Hang On In There)," which should have been a major hit, but surprisingly, never even charted.
