The Bell Singers were formed 34 years ago by Mrs. Dora Bell who wanted to do something to keep her children out of the streets so she kept them in church and thus formed "The Bell Singers". They are a group of dedicated Christian people striving hard to promote gospel throughout the nation. They have been in existence since 1973, there are nine members within the group: Mrs. Dora Bell, Stella Bell-Alexander, Patricia Bell-Artison, Linda Bell-Ellis, Toiann Leach, Joetta Watkins, Thomas Watkins III, Rev. Manuel Somerville & Mr. Willie Artison. They enjoy singing for the Lord and don't mind letting the world know whose side they're on. Over the years the Lord has blessed them to release six recordings, the latest entitled "God Is Wonderful", just released May 2005. They have performed on stage with many other national artists such as Lee Williams & the QCs, The Williams Brothers, The Mighty Clouds of Joy, Doc Mckenzie, The Canton Spirituals, just to name a few.
