Don't forget he played with the Beatles at their last live performance atop the Apple building in London. And pretty much throughout the whole "Get Back/Let it Be" recording sessions. I think he's also on "Let it Be," and maybe a few more songs of "Let it Be." |

| hayduke2 (Southampton, NY) | Posted: Feb 11, 2012 - 05:41 Billy got my little white ass movin back in the 70's! Saw him on Soul Train shaking that massive 'fro and with the the transforming smile, very much enjoying his creations on the keyboard! |

| Kokoloco53 (Safford, AZ) | Posted: Aug 20, 2011 - 13:47 Oh yeah! Billy Preston on the Hammond organ. Played and recorded with Beatles at the end. Got to see him with George Harrison in Tucson doing Will It Go Round in Circles, Ravi Shankar filled the rest of the bill. Peace to the world is the mantra we all need to sing. |

| cosmiclint (Vancouver BC) | Posted: Apr 16, 2011 - 08:48 Right on. I think Bill followed SanFranGayMan's advise a couple of songs back to "do some drugs, slow down and listen fer godsakes!" I'm diggin' it! |

| Art_Carnage (DeepintheheartofTexas) | Posted: Aug 06, 2010 - 12:17 Billy Preston is also the ONLY good thing (with the possible exception of Steve Martin) in the "Sgt. Pepper" movie. If you see it listed on TV, tune in for the last 15 minutes to catch Preston (as the reincarnated Sgt Pepper), doing "Get Back". Other than that, the movie is drek. It doesn't even work on a camp level. |
