He was 59. He was a great musician.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

Just excellent...now, if only I could remember the name of that darn song.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 06-10-2006 12:43 PM                       OMG! I LOVED Billy Preston! He was still young, yet. So sad to hear this. One of the coolest tunes ever: Outta Space!  |  IP: Logged
