Background notes
Archive material and source history
Billy Preston was born in Houston, Texas in 1946. By age 10 he was touring as a pianist with Little Richard, which gave him an early education in rock and roll performance. In the 1960s he worked with the Beatles, playing keyboard on tracks like "Get Back" and "Let It Be." That exposure led to sessions with other major artists including Ray Charles and The Rolling Stones.
His solo career in the 1970s produced hits like "Outa-Space" and the ballad "I'm Never Gonna Say Goodbye." He recorded gospel material too, including "You Can't Beat God's Giving." Preston's playing blended church organ roots with pop and R&B, heard on his album "Music Is My Life."
He faced legal troubles and personal struggles that interrupted his work at times. Preston kept recording and performing through different phases, leaving behind a catalog that shows his range as both a sideman and a frontman.
