PRESTON BILLY - CD 16-YR. OLD SOUL

Popis - 16-YR. OLD SOUL:
Many folks only became aware of Billy Preston in the late '60s through his work as a Beatles sideman and his signing to their Apple Records label as a solo artist. But Preston had actually been recording for many years before that, and his first big
break came courtesy of none other than Sam Cooke. Preston -
then still in high school- was hired to play on Cooke's 1963
album 'Night Beat', and Cooke was so impressed with the
teenager that he signed him to the Derby imprint of his SAR Records label, and got him in the studio right away to record '16-Yr. Old Soul'. The album features a cookin batch of instrumentals propelled by Preston's funky organ and piano licks leading a tasty combo composed of the legendary Earl Palmer on drums, Gene Edwards on guitar and Clifford Hils on bass, and this CD debut adds a couple of bonus tracks, 'Sweet Thing' and 'Win Your Love For Me'. All you '60s instrumental soul fans, take heed!
