LeRoy Bell and His Only Friends – Westlake Park, Seattle – 7 September 2023
Bell has got Philly soul royalty in his blood, with connections to the Gamble & Huff stable; he keeps his end up, having written (with confrère Casey James) songs recorded by Elton John, among others. His home base is in the Puget Sound area. Bassist Morgan is the “only friend” who goes back the furthest with Bell, and he handles a lot of the set announcing and patter. The music gets people movin” & shakin’!
