Yes, that was Eric Clapton on guitar up front. This was a tribute concert for George Harrison after he passed. There were many, many tremendous artists who took part in this concert. You will see a young man playing guitar who looks like George Harrison near Clapton. That is George Harrison's son. I have this whole concert on DVD and it is great.

I believe when the Beatles were struggling with what what would become the album Let It Be, George ran into Billy Preston and invited him to the recordings. From the movie it looked like Billy sitting in was the catalyst they needed to actually finish the album. He was a great addition to the recording.

[@dmvjback]

Absolutely! He was the cherry on the sundae and gave Let It Be and the lads that little extra push.

[@John_Locke_108]

It'd the best part of the documentary. There was no warm up or rehearsal with him. He stopped by to say hi and then just sat down and started playing along with songs the Beatles were struggling with and immediately those songs came together.

[@misterdoe]

What I've read, Billy was pretty much the reason that they didn't break up right then and there.

At age 11, Preston appeared on an episode of Nat King Cole's NBC TV show singing the Fats Domino hit "Blueberry Hill" with Cole. He also appeared in St. Louis Blues, the 1958 W. C. Handy biopic starring Nat King Cole; Preston played with Handy at a younger age. In 1962, Preston joined Little Richard's band as an organist, and it was while performing in Hamburg that he met the Beatles. In 1963, he played the organ on Sam Cooke's Night Beat album and released his own debut album, 16 Yr. Old Soul, for Cooke's SAR label. In 1965, he released the album The Most Exciting Organ Ever and performed on the rock and roll show Shindig! In May or June of 1965, he had a session with Little Richard and Jimi Hendrix , in New York City, yielding the Soul classic dirge "I Don't Know What You've Got". In 1967, he joined Ray Charles' band. Following this exposure, several musicians began asking Preston to contribute to their sessions.

You should really watch "While My Guitar Gently Weaps" from the Grammy's featuring Prince. His solo is incredible. I know you've already reacted to the studio version of that song, but Prince's solo is a MUST SEE. It was another tribute to George Harrison.

Ringo Starr, speaking during the rehearsals for the Concert for George in 2002, called Billy Preston one of the greatest Hammond organ players of all time. In another interview Starr said, "Billy never put his hands in the wrong place. Never." Preston's song "Nothing from Nothing" was featured on the soundtracks of 2003's Elf and 2008's Be Kind Rewind. In his introduction to the 2010 BBC Radio program Billy Preston: That's the Way God Planned It, former Yes keyboardist Rick Wakeman said of Preston: "Every keyboard player I know loves Billy Preston. You can spot his playing a mile off, whether it's the Hammond organ, the Fender Rhodes or the piano. He had such a spiritual touch to his technique; it made him completely unique." In 2021, White Horse Pictures and Homegrown Pictures announced that they were making a documentary on Preston, to be directed by Paris Barclay.

George brought Billy into the studio. The band knew him from the days in Germany when they were playing there and Billy was touring with Ray Charles. The original reason for bringing him in at first was to see if an "outsider" would calm down the constant squabbling in the studio. It worked because Billy was apparently a natural born Peacemaker.

[@ktrsBklyn]

You guys should really watch the documentary Get Back which is about the Beatles recording their last album and getting ready for their last concert together. It’s like being a fly on the wall watching these geniuses writing songs that the world now knows so well. In the 2nd part 21-year old Billy Preston drops in the session, jumps on the piano, and just improvises along with what they’ve working on and KILLS it. And the Beatles are all just astounded and delighted. It’s one of most incredible moments and full of joy. ❤

This is from "A Concert For George" to pay respects to George Harrison. Billy Preston was in on the song writing process of the song. At the time of the recording, Billy had been diagnosed with terminal cancer and he performed knowing he was not long for This world. He passed a short time later.

[@thisnicelady]

You have to watch Get Back. It's about 9 hours long, so, you know, clear the calendar. But the moment Billy Preston (so young!) shows up at the studio, the whole vibe changes immediately! Just five phenomenal musicians at the top of their game, jamming and writing music.

Preston was a top session keyboardist in the 1960s, during which he backed artists such as Little Richard, Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, the Everly Brothers, Reverend James Cleveland, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. He gained attention as a solo artist with hit singles such as "That's the Way God Planned It", the Grammy-winning "Outa-Space", "Will It Go Round in Circles", "Space Race", "Nothing from Nothing", and "With You I'm Born Again". Additionally, Preston co-wrote "You Are So Beautiful", which became a #5 hit for Joe Cocker.

[@PapaEli-pz8ff]

Through the decades, many Beatle songs were covered by such a wide range of artists/musicians.. the Four Tops, Earth, Wind & Fire, Ramsey Lewis.. from Jazz to Rock to R&B and beyond. Quite a statement regarding the greatness of their writing..

From 1970, Billy Preston played keyboards (including piano, organ, clavinet and various synthesizers) for the Rolling Stones, sometimes alongside pianists Nicky Hopkins and Ian Stewart, on their albums Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main St., Goats Head Soup, It's Only Rock 'n Roll and Black and Blue. As the band's primary touring keyboardist from 1973 to 1977, he also performed as a support act with his own band (including Mick Taylor on guitar) on their 1973 European tour. A Munich performance from this tour was documented on Preston's album Live European Tour 1973.

[@atgdcommish608]

I'm amazed at how many great musicians George Harrison was close friends with, like Eric Clapton and Billy Preston, the Beatles originally, and then with Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne in the Traveling Wilburys days. When the Beatles needed someone to play keyboards for a live recording of the Let it Be album, Harrison happened to have keyboard legend Preston visiting the studio. He even got a record label credit on the Get Back 45 release, which said "The Beatles with Billy Preston". His keyboard work on "Don't Let Me Down" is amazing.
