		Preston was a prodigy on organ and piano, recording during the early '60s for Vee-Jay and touring with Little Richard.
		He was a loose-limbed regular on the mid-'60s ABC TV series Shindig, proving his talent as both vocalist and pianist, and he built an enviable reputation as a session musician, even backing the Beatles on their Let It Be album.
		That impressive Beatles connection led to Preston's big break as a solo artist with his own Apple album, but it was his early-'70s soul smashes "Outa-Space" and the high-flying vocal "Will It Go Round in Circles" for AandM that put Preston on the permanent musical map.

	billy-preston Mp3 Albums Review
		Billy Preston's beatiful organ and singing voice are complemented by excellent guitars (probably George Harrison, but there's very little info available about this album), an exciting rhythm section, and gorgeous backing vocals.
		Preston's covers of Beatles and Harrison songs are wonderful interpretations, but I actually prefer the songs that he penned himself.
		Billy Preston's roaring Hammond B-3 proves in less than 3 minutes, why the Beatles and the Stones were so eager to hire him for their studio sessions.

		It's like a gentleman salesman who makes his case quietly and goes on his way with a tip of his hat, and you stand at the screen door feeling a bit guilty you couldn't afford what he was selling--such a nice man.
		I'm endlessly puzzled why Preston doesn't have more in print; he's got a lot of gems in his catalogue.
		My mother disagrees; she says she doesn't know who Billy Preston is. Fer shame--with all the Beatles LPs she had (yes, even the one with "Don't Let Me Down," with the four of them on the front outside the door to somebody's mansion, a bust nearby wearing a hat).
