AllMusic Guide praised Bell as "one of the unsung heroes of American pop music" and noted his lasting impression, saying: "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."

Laventille
Laventille is a suburb of Port of Spain in Trinidad and Tobago. It is administered by the San Juan–Laventille Regional Corporation. Etymology The name ''Laventille'' hearkens back to colonial times, especially when the French dominated the cultural traditions of the island.

Geographically, it is the source of Orographic precipitation for the capital city. Arts and culture Laventille is the place where steel pan was born, and the birthplace of innovative world-renowned tuners such as Rudolph Charles and Bertie Marshall.
