Billy Preston was a musical genius and prodigy. He was known as "the fifth Beatle" because he is the ONLY artist to get credit on a Beatles' label for playing on' "Let It Be" album. He played the piano on the song, "Get Back".

And Don't Let Me Down, The One After 909, I've Got Feeling...and on some of the Abbey Road Album. The Beatles help catapult to fame. He was featured in George Harrison's Concert for Bangla Desh. he also wrote You are so Beautiful which was famously covered by Joe Cocker.

His instrumental, "Outa-Space" from 1971/1972 is a banger, and really shows his keyboard talents.

You should see the live version of this from the early 1970s, he's got this big fro and it bounces around as he jams on the piano and he's got this really awesome fan and he wears outrageous outfits and he always has the smile on his face and he just knows how to really get into a Groove. It's so fun.

Preston's "That's the Way God Planned It" from the concert for Bangladesh with George Harrison is outstanding. So is his organ on Ray Charles' last album "Genius Loves Company," playing for Ray and Norah Jones doing "Here We Go Again," recorded before Charles died in 2004.

Hi Angela! I’m here to give a request. It’s from left field and I don’t think you’ve covered this band. They’re from the 70’s and 80’s. The leader went on to score many many feature films. In my college and after years I loved them. I knew about them before they hit because of a college friend who was already a fan. They did have some big hits. Like this one. Dead Man’s Party, by Oingo Boingo. Lead is Danny Elfman. Here’s a great live video, I hope it doesn’t get blocked. I know that’s always an issue. kzitem.info/news/bejne/lIOiyJtpqXx6hWk I love your Carpenters reactions BTW some break my heart as I know what you were about to see and they can be emotional especially because of the outcome. Me too.
