Billy Preston RIP

I was saddened to hear of the death of Billy Preston this week. There aren't many true heroes for us keyboard players but he was certainly one. I enjoyed a peaceful moment yesterday evening listening to his playing on The Beatles' 'Get Back'. I think my favourite moment is his impromptu dance across the stage at George Harrison's Concert for Bangladesh!

For organ, rhodes and piano playing there were few better.
