	Chris Bell - Biography - AOL Music
		Chris Bell was one of the unsung heroes of American pop music; despite a life marked by tragedy and a career crippled by commercial indifference, the singer/songwriter's slim body of recorded work proved massively influential on the generations of indie rockers who emerged in his wake.
		Born January 12, 1951 in Memphis, Tennessee, Bell grew up enveloped by the city's indigeneous soul sounds -- typified by the prodigious output of the Stax label -- but his first love was the music of the British Invasion; inspired by the Beatles, he took up the guitar in his early teens.
		While Bell continued working on music, his depression worsened; to help revitalize his career, his brother David led him to France's Chateau D'Herouville studios, where a batch of demos were cut for a planned album.

		Chris Bell’s beginnings were quite different from those of anyone who aspired to become a musician in the ’60s.
		Bell formed his first group with Richard Rosebrough and Terry manning, two lads from that locality and as Anglophiles as he himself was; it wasn’t easy, though, to play covers of their favourite bands in front of people who just wanted to listen to soul and RandB.
		Bell’s character was given to extremes: a fervent catholic on the one side and a homosexual and drug addict on the other, he hoped to find in music the redemption of his soul.

	Chris Bell (musician) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chris Bell left the group after their first album, #1 Record, but contributed some music and lyrics to their second LP, 1974's Radio City.
		Bell had played in a number of Memphis bands beginning in the 1960s, prior to his later famous work in the 1970s with Chilton.
		Bell was even more influenced by the music of the British Invasion than Chilton, whose subsequent career has seen him turn toward soul music, country, punk rock (producing The Cramps), RandB, and European pop.

	Music Review: Chris Bell- I Am the Cosmos (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Chris Bell, the founder of the legendary Memphis power pop band Big Star, was, along with Alex Chilton, the principal songwriter of the group's debut album, the cheeky and optimistically titled #1 Record (1972).
		Bell was the son of a successful local restaurateur, and grew up in the advantaged, predominantly white neighborhood of Germantown in Memphis, Tennessee.
		Bell's depression and drug use only worsened, and in the summer of 1974, after multiple suicide attempts, his brother David took him to Europe where the two wandered, wealthy-minstrel style throughout the old world; with Bell playing in both English pubs and French castles.

		The only reason Friedman is still in the race is because of free media: Reporters were all so bored by the thought of another snoozer Republican victory, they fought to keep Friedman's candidacy alive long past the point when it was clear that the Kinkster was in it entirely for ego and publicity.
		Bell is looking like a better bet because: (A) He has the Democratic base vote going for him, and (B) Perry is just so lame.
		As we start down the stretch, Bell is picking up on the outside, Perry is still at 35 percent after a year, Strayhorn is fading and Kinky stopped to poop on the track.

	Texas Roundup: Perry Likely to Prevail Over Split Opposition - New York Times
		Perry faces not one, but three major opponents: Democrat Chris Bell, a former one-term House member; state Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn, a Republican and longtime Perry adversary who eschewed a challenge in the March 7 primary to run as an independent; and, most unusual of all, Richard “Kinky” Friedman, an iconoclastic country-rock musician and novelist.
		Bell began at a disadvantage, facing an incumbent and running as a Democrat in a state that has grown increasingly Republican.
		Bell played an early role in the political downfall of DeLay, filing charges against him for ethical violations that resulted in reprimands by the House ethics committee in late 2004.

		Historically, he is a white candidate who appeals to the already Democrat latte liberal classes in Houston, Dallas and Austin and has had zero ability to gain votes among the fl and Hispanic communities, either when he ran for mayor in 2001 or when his district got gerrymandered against him in 2004.
