Billy "The Fifth Beatle" Preston. I 1st heard Billy play on tour with Eric Clapton in 2000 and he gave even more life to Eric classics than they already had.....

music Love this cover and Billy P.

I prefer the original, though. The acoustic guitar gives it a haunting feel that can't be duplicated on the organ. I like Billy singing it better with the original arrangement at the Concert for George:

It appears we don't talk about Mr. Preston as often as we should. I don't recall ever not liking a Preston album.
