Soul master William Bell performs his classic hit "I Forgot To Be Your Lover" at Ponderosa Stomp at Lincoln Center on July 16, 2009. Shot by Ken Shane with a Flip HD video camera.
I use to sing on the road with William Bell in the mid 70s. We went all over. One of the nicest times and groups I've sung with. Met lots of great people and he does have a great voice and showmanship. Nice guy to work for. Sing William...
Hi. Please if you can Tell William Bell that he still have lovers that's still listening to his songs forever and a day, I even believe that my baby was born because of his songs. That's how much I really love him. Again Thanks Ebony
If you ask me, this crowd just didn't show the love for this man the way they should have. William Bell and this song are nothing more than every last drop of anything that's good in music, period!
Love how he switches into "You Send Me" by Sam Cooke at the end.I don't know if anyone else caught that.How funny is that I was just listening to You send me on the way home from work about 20 minutes before I saw this video.But anyway this is one of the most underrated old school classics,love this joint.
In dedication for my uncle Roland with that song I can see his expression to it right now one of his favorite ones now May Angels 🌌😇😇😇😇 Sing it to him now with peace love and happiness in heaven he traveled to every state in the United States but he used to say being Heaven bound is the ultimate destiny in destination and place to be
Those were great artist at stax record like william bell and the whole crew the record company is not around anymore but the music will last the test of time sing it mr, bell
Classic Soul bay bee ! The birth of soul... Stay Records' Sam & Dave, Otis Redding, Isaac Hayes "A Man Will Be a Man" ... etc. And other labels with artists like Tyrone Davis "If I Could Turn Back the Hands of Time ! " Joe Simon. Luther Ingram. Gene Chandler.
Great performance! I love artists like this and wish these new young up and coming would look towards these well established performances of and age when real singers took the stage and gave all that they have in the show every single day in and day out.
i have i told u lately that i love you? if i did'nt darling i'm sorry......whew!!! an apology is deeply accepted from a man who lovingly admits his neglect (the way william does, that is).
...why is it that whenever white cats play this music they've gotta play 'hip/black' and have on poke-pie hats, sunglasses and all the rest? What's the point? would like this playin Jethro Tull? Where's the brothers playin their music anyway? what's up with that?
It's a damn performance idiot. They're in character and have amazing stage presence. Leave it to an ignorant ass man like yourself to have a problem with it.

This is the kinda music the world is truly missing today. Music where the words actually tell a story all of us can relate.

I was one of his backup vocalists back then.
Absolutely amazing!
Soul legend putting in work!!! Sho-nuff playa!!
he is the one and only
Yes He Is
Magnifique j'aime beaucoup
The legendary Charles "Skip" Pitts on guitar ... RIP
The guy was an awesome musician....That intro to the late great Issac Hayes's hit, " SHAFT" attests to the man deemed one of the best!!
That is my quarantine goal, to play this song just like Skip. He had that special touch.
Boss for real
Strongest soul voice I've heard. Easily up there with Sam, Otis, BARRY, Teddy, etc. One of the greats for sure!!!
Classic Soul bay bee ! The birth of soul... Stay Records' Sam & Dave, Otis Redding, Isaac Hayes "A Man Will Be a Man" ... etc. And other labels with artists like Tyrone Davis "If I Could Turn Back the Hands of Time ! " Joe Simon. Luther Ingram. Gene Chandler.
A true pro, from the greatest generation of soul singers.
Love this song
Great artist!
