One of the pioneers of the southern school of '60s soul, William Bell is most famous for the classic "You Don't Miss Your Water," a song that remains a landmark in the development of country R&B. In a bizarre turn of events, new wave pinup boy Billy Idol had a big hit with Bell's "To be a Lover" in 1986.
