C&L's Late Night Music Club With Billy Preston
Billy Preston is best known as the "Fifth Beatle" for his keyboard work with the Fab Four on the Abbey Road sessions. His resume also included the Rolling Stones, Ray Charles, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and many more heavy hitters across various genres. Tonight's selection is off of his 1971 record, I Wrote A Simple Song. Thanks to my buddy Keith for reminding me of this.
A reminder that our sister site Newstalgia has for its weekend concert, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers from 1987. Enjoy!
Billy Preston = fantabulous!

Billy played on Get Back before Abby Road , and Let It Be the movie even though Abby Road was released first.

But, I've been wathing Memphis Beat a lot and I heard a song by Sam Cooke that I hadn't heard before. My Aunt used to listen to Sam and cry a lot and at the time I didn't understand why. I too loved his music because of her and have lots' of his songs but I hadn't heard Tennesse Waltz until about 2 weeks ago at the beginnig of Memphis Beat. I instantly knew it was Sam. No one sounds like him though Bobby Womack tried. Anyway, those of you who like his music will love this if you haven't alrealy heard it. I now do!

There's no better way to start the day than the man who made The Beatles groove!
