I serviced Billy's Hammond back in the 70's but never got around to seeing him perform live. Damn. One of the nicest guys you ever met.

Billy Preston delivers an exhilarating combination of theater, gospel, and rock ‘n roll stylings on the mighty Hammond B3 organ. We will never see their like again.

I have been playing for churches, for the past 50 years, and have found it ALWAYS the blessing of playing on the Hammond. (The A110, C2, C3, B2, B3, XK2, XK3, and the XB3). (I promised my Jesus, Lord, Savior, God) that if he blessed me with the gift of music, I would ONLY use the gift to give HIM praise...HALULEJAH!!! and retired in 2012 due to illness and disabilities. THANK YOU LORD FOR YOUR SPECIAL BLESSED GIFT(s)

What Hendrix was to guitar, Billy Preston was to keyboards.

Mr. Preston left us too soon...

The Bach inpression was hilarious and awesome

When I was a kid back in 72, at six years old, I played music that Billy Preston made. What I knew then, was NOTHING to what I've grown to appreciate now. There's words to describe CERTAIN artist, but when it comes to Billy Preston, I can't think of words that would give him enough credit. Maybe one of those words would be incomparable.

There’s more than 1 reason he’s known as the 5th Beatle. OUTSTANDING ‼️‼️

So true. Billy was great. He didn't get the recognition that he deserved. After looking at Unsung, his life story broke my heart along with other stories that I've heard about him. He was a nice and gentle person. God bless you Mr. Preston. 🙏. Rest Peacefully now. No one will take advantage or hurt anymore. You're with God now.

Billy was a child prodigy from day one !!!! His talent and versatility took him from the church with James Cleveland to Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Little Richard and The Beatles etc. Billy Bomaye ❤

I loved everything Billy did, he was such a huge talent. My understanding is that he opened for the Stones back in the 70's and when the Stones came out the fans wouldn't let them perform without Billy on stage. That's huge. He was a tormented soul if you read his bio. I believe he loved Jesus and is in heaven today.
-
I didn't really discover Billy till he was gone. Thank God for video, so he can live on indefinately! What a master.

Billy knows how to tear up a piano or organ with those smooth powerful fingers. Truly a gift to watch and listen to. Wish he were here today to inspire and amaze us some more.
