I can't believe that Billy Preston has not been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. If it wasn't for Billy Preston many of the artists that he played for, their music wouldn't be worth listening to. Billy Preston was a GENIUS on the Hammond B-3, he even DANCED on the FOOT PEDALS of the Hammond B-3, and that is something that I've NEVER seen any MUSICIAN DO in my 52 years of living on this EARTH. I pray that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame do right by Billy Preston and posthumously induct him into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. R.I.Heaven Billy Preston, if you don't receive your REWARD THAT IS DUE TO YOU ON THIS SIDE OF JORDAN, I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED YOUR REWARD IN HEAVEN. MAY GOD BLESS and REST YOUR SOUL MR. BILLY PRESTON. THE BEST MUSICIAN THAT EVER TOUCHED THE KEYS OF A PIANO and ORGAN!!! There will NEVER BE ANOTHER LIKE YOU!!!!! Posted by Sanaughtra on Tuesday, 07/21/2020 @ 23:59pm |
Billy Preston NOT in the Rock Hall ? I honesty can't believe it. He can be considered for Individual Artist, Sideman, AND Revolutionary of the Hammond B3 in multiple genre. And, oh yeah he was The 5th Beatle. When I found out he was THE FIRST musical guest on Saturday Night Live in 1975, I tripped balls. Then, I found out he was actually the one who wrote You Are So Beautiful. Posted by Claudia Young on Saturday, 04/3/2021 @ 17:06pm |
