bye bye billy

Billy Preston died today at the age of 59. He was sometimes called the "5th Beatle", having played on a number of later tracks. Listen to one of the versions of "Let it Be" to hear his keyboard work. He also played with the Stones and others. Died of kidney failure, but that was brought on by a lifetime of drug addiction. One more chorus, one last ride...
