I lived down the road from the hospital where he passed .. I was pulling out of my complex on the year anniversary that he had passed and sitting at the corner intersection with the radio on... When they had a tribute to Billy Preston that day and it was a goose bump moment, knowing that I was sitting in front of the hospital that he had died a year later!! I just absolutely loved him and it was an honor to be there at that time.❤😊

Fantastic song. Guys like Billy really brought the country and the world closer together. You can’t resist this funky beat, piano, and his maaad soulful vocals!

Classic top ten song from 1974

His work is second to none.. A very underrated star. His work with the beatles was amazing

Preston was the Consummate Musician & writer among other things, He also wrote the Classic You are so Beautiful & let Joe Cocker sing that one! His grass roots go back to Jazz & was friend with Joe Sample from the Crusaders Houston, Tx

Highly and Extremely Talented Human Being. He brought us so much joy & happiness via His GOD given gifts, talent, and overall genuis. His talent as a Gospel Artist was just as, if not more impressive than his R&B & Pop portfolio. He is surely missed. Thank GOD His Spirit lives on in our Hearts & Souls Forever. Good Night Brother Preston. We will see You in The Morning. r.i.p.

What a great talent Billy Preston was. I generally remember this song (I was 8 when it came out). Didn't think much of it then. Now I really appreciate it.

Rip Mr Preston great song

There's no way you don't feel better with this playing. Thanks Mr Preston.

Omfg the best best best best. Raw fucking unbridled talent, he made his own thing that won't ever be touched

Love the strong back beat in this song. It gives it that energy.

The girl in the grey suit next to the piano on 1:31 I’m sure she hit every beat when he started the piano solo at 1:35

This guy had more talent in his little fingernail than most people have in their entire body.

Love the Soul Train flashback! This is a fun and funky song.

I guess I am pretty off topic but does anyone know a good site to watch new series online ?

I am no keys player. I'm trying. The foot work throws me a bit and watching this MASTER whoop that piano's backside...sliding back and forth on the bench, all while never missing a beat or note is AMAZING! And it really proves just how much he really loved performing! It's like he really wants to get up and dance, but he's got another job he has to do right now. I'm almost 60 and this song still amazes me!

Que tiempos....que tiempos mi amado Billy ...soy una dinosauria de 66 años...melodía tono y ritmo juntos sin ser vulgares ni groseros ...ODA a la buena música...Gracias.

I always how he gives that hip thrust in the opening. Look how everyone is naturally catching the groove. Folks don't dance like this anymore

Mid 70s earth tone colors. The late 70s has a more NYC chic look. What era of fashion you dislike the most (for example 90s, 10s, 80s, 30s)?

FELLAS, DID Y’ALL HEAR THIS WONDERFUL LYRICS. BARS! 😃

One of my favorite songs.I knew nothing about him & told my friend I would like to see him and didn't know he had died.

damn, those keys were smokin'!

Great songs with the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, AND a great solo career. Can it get any better than that?

With all those afro the grooves on another level..... 😩❤🔥

This guy, and Neal Schon had to coolest 'fros.

Genius

Many people did not know that Billy Preston was gay - He died June 6,2006 age 59 in Scottsdale, Arizona - Preston had suffered kidney disease in his later years, brought on by his hypertension. He received a kidney transplant in 2002, but his health continued to deteriorate. He had voluntarily entered a drug rehabilitation clinic in Malibu, California, at the suggestion of guitarist Is'real Benton, and suffered pericarditis there, leading to respiratory failure that left him in a coma from November 21, 2005
