Thanks for the scoop! That's pretty good if that's his only screw up!



Back to Billy - I was just listening to the radio and the dj's were talking about Billy. They mentioned that he had an incident in the 80's where he was accused for acting inappropriately with a 16 y/o boy, and I think they said he was arrested for having child pornography.

I sincerely hope that he was not molesting children. That would seriously tarnish my well wishes for him.

his recording in 1963 (at age 16) with Sam Cooke on Little Red Rooster remains one of my alltime favorite organ pieces....I think it's the best ever version of that Willie Dixon classic. I mean here you have perhaps one of the greatest singers on the planet with a kid playing and Sam actually calls out his name during the solo....

Sam Cooke's voice was amazing.

RIP Light and Love. Thanks.

Any chance one could download that on youtube? I'll try but do you have it?

Would I be in order requesting that you edit the OT from your thread title ?

I think Billy P was too much a part of this band to be "off topic".
maybe not in recent years...but many of us remember the tours when he was.

i'm tube-challenged. if you're a Sam Cooke fan at all - it can be found on among other compilations a great set (SACD-enhanced too) called Portrait of a Legend...a great set to have if you need just one of his....

Yeah..thats real good album with Mick Taylor!!

just played it last nite in Billy's honor (along with aforementioned Rooster/Cooke)....good party album...doesn't lean too heavily on MT...the excellent sounding boot from the tour is a better listen in that regard....

I just cant believe he is gone.

ROCKMAN

I do thank you Rockman....its so sad that he is gone...I always thought he would play with the gang one more time.

Melbourne Age 8 June 2006



ROCKMAN

the NYTIMES got it wrong with the BOTT credit - no way he was on that or any other Dylan album...

As somebody mentioned, it's Billy Peterson, or something like that.

When I first heard about the Rolling Stones..They told me he was a Rolling Stone...and I believed they!!!Angels are crying!!!

Rockman, thanks for the pictures...............

"He just woke up in there from last night!" LA FORUM, 1975

We all knew..this would happen..but still Im shocked..about it..Billy Preston is gone.

Here's a video of Billy Preston playing and sing with Nat "King" Cole,
at the age of 10 !!

Great video Erik. It really is adorable. It's amazing when you see a natural talent like that. Some people were born so gifted.

Yeah....that was fun!!
