    Just heard that Billy Preston passed away at 59 from kidney trouble.A sad day in the music world,Billy was a great contributer to both the Beatles and the Stones and many others over the years,as well as his own music.Anyone that knows nothing of Billy should find out.Think i will go listen to some right now.

    I loved "Space Race" and "Outta Space." Great early 70s instru-funk. Important part of my formative years.
