    His genius touched all who love music. He wrote so many things, performed tunes and really appeared to enjoy life.

    he is on one of my Eric Clapton Concert DVD's, one more car, one more rider is the name I think (?)

    First time I popped it in I didnt even notice it was Billy Preston (if you could believe that) until my Dad called it out.
