Billy Preston
Billy Preston, organist, and pianist for Ray Charles, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and more, was gay. Because of the lack of acceptance of homosexuality in society at the time, and Preston's Christian upbringing, he turned to alcohol and cocaine to battle the lack of reconciliation with both of those factors, for years.

I think he had a very successful career. Two #1 pop hits and two other in the top 5. Played with Ray Charles, played with the Beatles, Sam Cooke, Sly, ect. What more could you ask for. Most rock stars lives are rocky, hell I should say all. PRINCE: Always and Forever

I wasn't implying he wasn't successful, for sure. My intention was that his career and life could have been different and possibly happier with the struggles he faced. He definitely left a wonderful mark in music through his life. " don’t really care so much what people say about me because it is a reflection of who they r." | |
