RIP Billy Preston

He will be sadly missed in the music world. Remeber that he is now in GOD hands and what wonderful music he will make in heaven. /emoticons/default_biggrin.png 59 is a young age but it was his time. Another thing to remember is his music will last a lifetime for generations to come.

 
The article said he had been in a coma since November. I had no idea. I just watched the Concert for George again with some friends about two months ago. I have the DVD and they hadn't seen it yet. One of the best concert DVD's you'll ever see.

Anyway, Billy plays a mean B-3 on Isn't It a Pity. There's nothing quite like an old Hammond and Leslie in the hands of someone who really knows how to play them.

 
SNL's first musical guest passes, and we are all lesser for it.

My favorite Preston jam is "Outta Space," really dig the clavinet.

 
"we've forgotten Billy Preston!"

-G.H. at the closing of bangladesh

Gone but not forgotten. I saw Preston with the 79 Harrison tour and later with the Stones. He stole the stage each time.
