He worked with The Beatles first, and then he gradually became part of the recording and touring group of the Stones.
I don't know about Nellcote, although he plays both piano and organ on Shine A Light.
He played at El Mocambo.
Haven't heard specifically how the collarboration ended, but obviously, the Stones wanted a back to the roots-approach for the SG-tour.
Preston also played on Mick's Wandering Spirit album.
BTW, I remember Preston saying (1976) in an interview I have on some bootleg that he first played with the Stones in the mid 60s.
That's all I know.
How would we know, this is a Led Zeppelin forum.
I believe he was the only person to work with both the Beatles and the Stones. Now that's something to be proud of. Does Eric Clapton count?
Of course Brian Jones worked with both as did Lennon and McCartney.
Nicky Hopkins worked with Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Who, Jeff Beck, just to name a few.
Just as long as the guitar plays, let it steal your heart away
So did Mick.
Yeah, how could I forget. How about playing live though, only Billy?

Hi everyone,
I guess Billy Preston started working with them around 1970 (get a line on you ?) and the collaboration ended around 1977. I'd like to know the details on how he managed to stay so close with them for 7 years and suddenly stop.
- Did he meet them in 1970 ?
- Did he work in Nellcote ?
- Why was he taken on board for '73 European Tour ?
- Did he play at El Mocambo 1977 ?
- How and why did the collaboration end ?
I'm sure you experts know the answers to some these questions :-)
Thanks !

Its a shame that Billy never got to that autobiography...He could've called it "I've Been Everywhere Man"

He also played on Bridges. From interviews with Keith he said Billy had grown too influential in the band and was dominating the sound. And there are some interviews with Billy where he stated frustration with the lack of writing credits and money issues.
It would probably be safe to assume that George Harrison introduced Billy around, hence Keith and George play on Billy's first album for Apple, That's the Way God Planned it. Keith plays bass on it. Great album.

Billy first met The Beatles in 1962 while he was in Little Richard's band. I would imagine that he met The Stones in the early days as well.
Acccording to this video, Billy first met the Stones when they were on Shindig with Howlin' Wolf. 1965?

His first appearance with the Stones was I got the blues, from Sticky Fingers, wasn't it?

Thanks guys for your answers.
I Did not know about George Harrison's album, that must be the link from the Beatles to the Stones.

I believe he was the only person to work with both the Beatles and the Stones. Now that's something to be proud of. Does Eric Clapton count?

Of course Brian Jones worked with both as did Lennon and McCartney.
