Hard to think of anyone who played along with so many great names and bands....possibly only Clapton himself!

I think I first noticed Billy Preston on a promo video for a Stones single of the late 1960s(?Brown Sugar?) and finally got to see him with one of Ringo Star's "All-Star Bands" about 35 years later. A splendidly versatile keyboardist who slotted in perfectly with whoever he played with, always fun to watch too -- he exuded pure joy.

Good choice, bd (I'll play it again later with volume higher!). Cheers!

I did not know that Preston had his own version of Get Back till I just saw it on you tube. Preston played with the Beatles on the original.

Another good one. Used to sit around with my friends and listen to this while getting loosened up. LOL

They must have listened to him and let the bad guy win. Since that song we've had bad guys in office.

Billy Preston, what a great musician, loved his soul. Nothing could be nicer than a Tuesday morning with Billy and Eric. Thanks so much, Baddad.

Nice, very nice.

Billy was a very adept player and extremely knowledgeable about his instrument(classically trained?) and could, as far as I could tell, play with anyone, any place, under any condition or circumstance.

A consummate player and a pure joy to watch and listen to.

Oh yes, Eric is good also. LOL

Good post badd.

Loved Billy Preston! He is sorely missed. His solos were pure joy and his soulful feel always lit up a track. Thanks for the post Baddad.
