He was on scores of hit records as a session musician. He invented the Electric Sitar. Whereas Ravi Shankar was Theoretical Sitar, Vinnie was Applied Sitar. Here's probably his most animated appearance on Electric Sitar. "She's A Heartbreaker" by Gene Pitney.

Vinnie Bell Obituary and Biography. Very interesting. Made a custom electric sitar for Jimi Hendrix! Les Paul begged him to reveal how he did his watery guitar sound!
