Billy Preston - R.I.P.

[BklynBlue]

Another man done gone -
We lost another one today - after a long battle with kidney failure, Billy Preston died today -
A child prodigy, he scored a number of hit singles in the early seventies and was last heard backing Eric Clapton on his 2004 CD "Me and Mr. Johnson".

If you are an old-timer, and still have a turntable, dig out your 45 rpm copy of "Outa-Space" and give it a spin and bid a fond farewell for the man with the giant Afro and gap tooth grin.
