Time once more for another installment in our continuing series:
GREAT INVENTORS OF HISTORY!
Today: Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell…
Thomas Edison was perhaps the greatest inventor America ever produced. He invented the light bulb, the phonograph and the motion picture camera, and held almost 11 hundred patents for his inventions.
Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone -- and his company, Bell Labs, came up with the transistor, the laser and the cellphone.Not content with those innovations, Bell Labs eventually expanded their corporate reach:
• To transportation with Bell Helicopters…
• To food with Taco Bell…
• And to music, with this 1968 hit by “house band” Archie Bell and the Drells:

Not to be outdone, Edison and his group Edison Lighthouse came out with this number one hit from 1970:
