The March 14 edition of Greasy Tracks featured a special presentation on the career of the enigmatic Billy Preston.
If you missed it, here’s the archive, while a playlist is here.
While he was known as the “Fifth Beatle” and played with a veritable who’s who in the music world, Preston was a self-taught prodigy steeped in the gospel music he grew up with in church.
The program provided an aural preview for Cinestudio’s showing of the amazing documentary, Billy Preston: That’s the Way God Planned It, March 25-27 on the Trinity College campus.
In addition to music from across Preston’s illustrious career, there were interviews with Paris Barclay who directed That’s The Way God Planned It and lead producers Jeanne Elfant Festa and Stephanie Allain.
