William Bell's "SAVE US" still resonates today...

Long regarded by record collectors as a genuine cult classic, William Bell's 1972 release "Phases of Reality" on Stax Records appropriately begins with the timely and timeless composition "Save Us".

The song's lyrics deal with the drug epidemic of the early 70's and it's lasting effects on already impoverished communities and family dynamics. As was the case prior to the 70's and has been the case ever since, the subject matter is ever-present and still relative.  


Comparable to topical 70's Soul classics released by such artists as Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield and more, "Save Us" is both thought provoking and healing, penned by one of the most prolific songwriters of our time.....The Legendary William Bell!
