Most people don't know that George Harrison gave this song to Billy Preston - and Billy recorded it and released it before George did. Billy's recording of the song was made in January of 1970... and released on September 11th, 1970 George Harrison's recording of the song was released on November 23rd, 1970..

Hi Harri!! Love your channel. I want to recommend a couple (30) songs (3 albums🤭) by Crosby Stills Nash and Young. They have so many great songs that its difficult to recommend just one or two. You should just start from album number one and do all of them. Thats how good they are😅. If I had to pick one, it would be "The Cost of Freedom" and "Helplessly Hoping" and 😂😂I can't pick one. I just checked and you already did Helplessly Hoping.🥰Wooden Ships is great, too.

To your point about Billy Preston. . .can you imagine if the Beatles were not so unstable by that time and the sound system technology was improving to the point where just imagine a live lineup of the Beatles with Billy Preston on keyboards? One of my great regrets in life we never got to see that. But this is indeed great consolation here. Hits me in the heart that with all the complexities between Paul and George over the years that Paul is here quitely in the background doing his part in this song!!! We are privileged indeed to see this!!!!

Billy Preston played piano on the Beatle songs 'Dig a Pony', 'I've Got a Feeling', 'One After 909', 'The Long and Winding Road', 'Don't Let Me Down' and 'Get Back', and organ on 'Dig It' and 'Let It Be' When the Rolling Stones needed a keyboard player for their world tour, he was their man.

The Beatles knew Billy had extreme talent, and after he sat in on the Let It Be and partially Abbey Road sessions, they released his album, and single "That's the Way God Planned It" and got him started on is solo career, even though he had played keys for stars like Ray Charles...
