I have to say, having the priviliege (of just being at the right place at the right time), and speaking briefly with him, Billy Preston was the essence of being a Gentleman-that's what he was, a gentle man. Perma-grin on his face, and was just a great guy. Loved people. He was great. I didn't know this until he passed, but he wrote "You Are So Beautiful", obviously made famous by Joe Cocker. The band is getting bigger up there.
