I Don't Want To Wake Up (Feelin' Guilty) / Whatever You Want (You Got It)

Released in 1986 on the Dutch label Rams Horn Records, this single reflects the label's focus on distributing soul, funk, and R&B recordings within the European market. William Bell, a legendary figure in the Stax Records era, moved into a more polished, mid-eighties production style during this period. This track features a duet with Janice Bullock, capturing the era's trend toward smooth, synthesized soul arrangements that sought to bridge the gap between traditional R&B vocal performances and the emerging sound of modern dance music.

The record serves as a testament to William Bell's enduring career, as he transitioned from his seminal 1960s songwriting contributions to his own independent recording ventures in the 1980s. Rams Horn Records was well-regarded for its role in bringing American soul talent to listeners in the Netherlands and beyond, and the design of these releases typically emphasized clarity and utility for radio play. The collaboration with Janice Bullock highlights Bell’s intent to maintain his relevance during a decade characterized by significant changes in R&B production standards.
