the fifth beatle (watch your back ringo)

Posted on by

stumbling around youtube will consume your life if you’re not careful…tonight i’m letting it.

here’s a great video featuring Billy Preston aka The Fifth Beatle (may he rest in peace) sitting in on the studio recording of “get back“.

billy preston sat in and contributed keyboard tracks for the White Album, Abbey Road and Let It Be; he was one of george harrison’s best friends and contributed so much of what we love about these records. if none of this beatles talk rings a bell, billy wrote/composed “you are so beautiful (to me)” which joe cocker made famous.

billy preston IS “the 5th beatle” and frankly, Ringo needs to watch his back b/c 4th place is up for grabs.

p.s. god-damn-fucking-yoko

    so, hey, if you find yourself at a loss of words after reading a post about billy preston, i understand…

    i think what you were looking for was something like:

    “rad!'

    “bad ass!”

    or

    “oh, fuck yes.”
