Carlton Pearson & Billy Preston - How Great Thou Art

[@tiania2658]

That was an iconic moment in history. Billy Preston was more than an entertainer. He was a creative maestro . That organ was an important element in the church.

[@datscnote]

In some churches, it still is🎹🎹

[@gsmith5140]

Yes, it was!

[@Reformed_Hamburglar]

I'll tell you something crazy. There's a virtuoso organist named Jimmy Smith. In '92 he was still playing heavy jazz, a lot of it on the circuit overseas. The guy sitting the second chair over from Preston looked EXACTLY like a young Jimmy Smith, and little Jimmy just smiled as if "that's nice Billy." Eerie.

@jeremyvanbriesies1940 If so. 😃

[@rogercook8277]

Billy Preston sure could make that Organ talk. He was one.heck of a musician. May he R.I.P. 11/29/2023

[@joelspringman523]

I hope to meet him soon. ❤

[@marjorjorietillman856]

The Organist that hugged Billy at the end, was also a wonderful person & musician, Matthew Bureal, who was the Minister of Music at my church in CA. RIP❤

[@alanmorris7669]

I still have the photograph that me and Billy Preston took together on North Tryon Street in Charlotte, North Carolina. He was truly one of a kind.

[@gsmith5140]

I remember this! That foot action at the end took us all out! I have never forgotten this. RIP, Billy.

That’s was funny and the reaction of the pastor and the other fellows

Honored to meet him in his last yrs . He was a client of my barbershop. Nice guy. Lived in the neiborhood. As he got his hair done , he'd always be humming

[@Buisness1]

Billy Preston was NEVER under rated. Everyone knew and gave him his prompts and ovations. He was only underrated by those who knew nothing of him.He was world renowned. You can't be under rated with that title.

[@keepingitrealandtruthful.5081]

Billy Preston loved playing especially in the church. One of first to make the Hammond model B3 to walk and talk back in the day considering when he came out the in 50 and 60 the B3 was a relatively new instrument. Did anyone see what he did on bass pedal? My God today. May Bishop Calton Person and Billy Preston rest in peace.

[@scottbc31h22]

The Hammond B3 came out in '55. However, it was not "new" it was the fourth generation of the Hammond organ, which was first introduced in 1935.

[@jfguidermphches5471]

Both born with gifts to enrich our lives... Both left us too soon.

[@marjorjorietillman856]
