[edit] I am sure he was born in 1970
His date is correct, but incorrect is 1967.
[edit] No...
The entry is correct; Joshua Bell's birth year is, indeed, 1967.
[edit] Josh Groban duet
Josh's regular page & Closer album page link here so I figured it should link back... :-) Danypo
- In the picture Bell looks very young for someone approaching 40, can we find a more recent picture? Turidoth 05:30, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
SweetTalker 20:11, 15 March 2007 (UTC)I'll look for something more recent. Don't know how much luck I will have. I've seen Bell in concert several times and met him afterwards. No stage makeup, regular street clothes. He really does look that young.
[edit] ARTICLE PRIVILEGES JEWISHNESS
Please balance Bell's heritage from his mother with the mention of his heritage from his father, which has been (?unconsciously) erased by its nonmention. If unknown (since the name Bell could be a changed name), perhaps a note to this effect should be inserted into the text. 69.116.150.25 00:43, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
As he provided the soundtrack to the movie "The Red Violin" which was nominated for an Oscar for "best foreign film (Canada)", shouldn't this be mentioned? Canking 21:16, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
SweetTalker 20:15, 15 March 2007 (UTC) Bell is not a changed name. Bell's father, the late Dr. Alan P. Bell was professor emeritus at Indiana University and a former Kinsey researcher. It is common knowledge that Dr. Bell was an Episcopalian minister before meeting Bell's mother who was and is Jewish. Dr. Bell converted to Judaism and Joshua Bell considers his heritage as Jewish. Dr. Alan and Dr. Shirley Bell's academic credentials as well as Joshua Bell's personal status as an umarried man are well known and documented several times so the constant deletion is puzzling.
