RIP Billy Preston




What can I say about Billy (often referred to as the "fifth Beatle") ... that music lovers don't already know. Aside from his playing on the Beatles' "Get Back," (among others for the Beatles), his own hit singles (yeah, I'm from that generation that begat the single) "Will It Go Round It Circles" and "Nothin From Nothin" rocked.

Keep on pounding those ivories, Billy. I'll hook up with ya, later ...

I'm not aware of any album Billy recorded that fully showed his tremendous talent. Such an album would have featured too many kinds of music to be categorized.

I agree. That is why most of us only have "singles."
