mcnach Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I just came across this guy... and immediately I realised I had heard a lot of his stuff before, I just didn't know his name. I'm sitting at home upstairs, window open letting a little bit of shy sun in, while I'm at the computer erm... 'working' (ok, it's my coffee break ) ... and Billy Preston jst making me dance on my sit while I try hard to resist the urge to plug in my bass... love it!!! I thought I'd share some of this, and I hope you enjoy it too [media]http://youtu.be/ubIt94oLaBI[/media] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutton Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 The man's a legend. As well as all his R&B, soul stuff he is also the only keyboard player to have played with both the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikel Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Great musician, and according to the top musicians he worked with, an all round nice guy. RIP Billy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I was delighted to find him in Clapton's band in 2004 as its the only time I've seen either of them play live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzy Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 A great musician, I saw him with the Stones on the 76 tour, he played Nothing from Nothing and this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efLOr3tM1KI They had The Meters as the opening act as well !

[/quote] I saw this too, amazing gig. Billy was also amazing on the George Harrison 'Concert for George' show that Clapton helped put together. Great musician and by all accounts a great fella too. Sadly missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
