Satisfaction -- Billy Preston

[@nickpshelley6115]

Oh Billy this is fab! It's hard to pin down his talent. He's so likable and adorable. Great version of satisfaction.

[@davidjaslow6458]

Billy was AMAZING! He should been a much bigger star! Just look at that video he was ahead of his time.

[@Mickhagardale]

So much soul!! Vocal inflection makes such a difference! Awesome!

[@danielmiltondocs]

Truly, truly, truly amazing little video! Vocally I think he heavily surpasses Mick Jagger, no doubt about it! Billy rest in peace, you where one of the greatest!

[@rodrollingstone2362]

Surpasses Mick Jagger??!! Ha ha, that's funny!

[@LarryRickenbacker]

"Billyfaction"! Enjoyed it; thanks for posting :)

[@Odawg96]

Damn...Billy gettin' funky all the way round. With that hairdo, though, he looks a bit like Eddie Murphy as "Little Richard Simmons" or "Velvet Jones." :-)

[@talktalk3]

I absolutely adore adore adore this!

[@podcastpotpourri6040]

What a force! RIP Billy

[@sharpclay]

Awesome Vid......Many Thanks from Florida!

[@lclarsen]

This is awesome, even more than the hair and voice I love that his back-up band (including "hand clappers") are like the "jocks" from a 1949 teen B-movie comedy. Billy... WHAAAAAAAAAAT was that about? Ha, anyway, can anyone show me evidence that he helped write this song? Never heard that before.

[@pm829]

I can see the producers brainstorming: "Lets' surround him with white guys to make the black easier to handle!". Those backup singers are ridiculous. Billy's rendition kicks ass and rocks. Wowza!

[@Greg07623]

Mick Jagger was a great song stylist and performer. Billy Preston as all of these and a singer's singer.

[@fesiopl]

Fantastyczne !

[@VrNghtOwl]

DAM that's all i can say got to love the 60's the white back up band. most likely have no clue what that song was lol.

[@jamesjonesrocket]

what a singer! He could have been ten times more popular if he had made his name as a solo singer, but I'm glad he didn't!

[@radioman66]

Otis Redding had a top 40 hit with this in 1965 this version is closer to the Otis version minus the horns wailing. No doubt Billy should've had some radio hits in the mid 60's but his time was coming, becoming a Beatle for a while then massive 70's hits!

[@tonyajohnson7948]

Great talent! But I am more partial to the fro!

[@elvispreseli]

@Babyggurl35 I saw your uncle supporting the Stones in '72. They had to work hard to follow him!!

[@mirrortime]

Billy looks like Prince :)

[@anpiep]

unico y singular billy preston y sus años maravillosos

[@like2view]

Wow.. Really interesting 1965?!? A Beatles Haircut, a Rolling Stones tune. Who are all the guys in Sweaters? What or where is this from? Any historical perspective on this available?

[@ukraininoak]

Bopping Billy Preston ! A gifted and well liked musican !

[@Babyggurl35]

LOL no way, I have never seen this video! My uncle with a perm or pressed hair cut like the Beatles!! lol, uncle Billy, I soooo would have had a laugh with you about this one if you were still here! lmao rip :(

[@lovie2000]

@dubbedcrazy He composed the music and played the organ "Type of Material:Music Sound Recording" So yes it is partially his song too and I believe he wrote some of it, they just didn't give him credit for..... the same way Artis and writers always done then and now....so in reality he is not doing a cover tune, he singing and playing something that he owns/ed

[@athorpe630]

Yes the 5th Beatle.

[@krockweeks]

i love the stones but this is better. at least for soul

[@NimrodelMirage]

Better than the original

[@dubbedcrazy]

@lovie2000 i'm under the same impression...written by mick and keith....produced by andrew loog oldham(we all know how accurate Wik is‚‚‚)......if billy preston was one of the composers...what parts did he write. the melody , chorus? just wanna know what his contribution was. =^_^=

[@a090006]

thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lovie2000]

Naw, Odawg, he looks like that Frankenstein on the Adams family

[@readynow12345]

OMG that hair cut HAHAHAHA...

[@phd1969]

Billy looks like a black Beatle with his bowl haircut in this video. Pretty fitting.

[@lovie2000]

LC Control No.: 91758808 Type of Material:Music Sound Recording Titles: (I can't get no) satisfaction LC Classification: Capitol ST-2532 Published/Created: [Scranton, Pa.] : Capitol, [1966] Performer: Organ with rhythm section ; Sly Stone, arranger. Notes: Soul music. Program notes on container. Last time I checked, being one of the composers of the music on the song...eliminates a person from being labeled as doing a cover tune..

[@lovie2000]

The five horsemen from a movie I saw some years ago, where these preppy white guys were brought in to sing this black mans song and they took it sung it differently than him.....I think it was a movie that Robert Townsend was in, but I can't remember the name of, but he was pissed about them taking his song.....as they always did back in the day

[@lovie2000]

And if he didn't cooperate, the person at that piano singing (Billy Preston) would have looked just like the band behind him...

[@dfonzie1968]

UAU

[@steveconn]

Looks like Billy auditioned for the Stones before the Beatles used him. Don't tell Paul lol

[@slim22rj]

the black beatle hahahaha

[@a090006]

did he wrote this????Not the stones??

[@miguelcervi7232]

Mejor que Mick Jagger!!!!!!!!!

[@like2view]

Gee.. being called an Idiot.. That's not nice or very civil. Am I an idiot because I identified this song from the Rolling Stones...Of course that's Billy Preston playing! That detail I didn't miss. The info I was searching was .. TV show... Shindig ..1965 If you don't have anything nice to say.... better to refrain form comment!

[@rasmusl7]

Yeah, much better than Rolling Stones. Don't know why Rolling stones got so popular, when there were many bands/singers that were far superior to them.... like this one.

[@rodrollingstone2362]

Bollocks, the Stones were and still are superior to any other group in the world, particularly American groups who have never been able to match the Stones for sheer talent and drawing power at venues all around the country, countless times.

[@computerfis]

No he didn't please disprove me before i can believe!

[@willidx42]

@VrNghtOwl and they are off beat LOL

[@SidLaw500]

Can you guess which one of these guys is not white?

[@jody808]

no he didn't
