I always wondered how he acquired that moniker.

I've heard it often but there's a reference in a website called The Beatles Bible. Some guy that Lennon became enamored with and wanted him to join the band. (McCartney said hell no) This is like 68 or 69 and I think he played on three or four songs.

Personally I think Billy Preston was one step above meaningless to The Beatles music.

The 5th or 6th?

His kid's work (with some help from Dad) repeatedly blew my mind with the Love Album.... curve ball after curve ball...

Everything old was new again...

Right? Maybe we shouldn't memorialize everyone. Bowie is one thing. The guy who once played a gig with herman's hermits and then retired to farm snails maybe not so much.

No, that guy became the bass player for Led Zeppelin.
