This week's #alternateFridayMusic theme is #water.

This is an excellent live version of a soul classic, originally recorded in 1961:

William Bell: You Don't Miss Your Water (a live performance from 2013)

Bell had a concert in Helsinki in 2017, after the release of his wonderful comeback album, "This Is Where I Live", and of course sang this song as well.

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.

A song with many quality covers, but on this day we focus on the cover by Mavis Staples who turns 85 years old today.

“You didn't have to love me like you did
But you did, but you did and I thank you
You didn't have to love me like you did
But you did, but you did and I thank you”
