The Friends of Billy Preston - Paperback

Billy Preston was well-known, well-liked and certainly esteemed during his almost five decades in the music industry, often intermingling with the music pantheon of his time, hence the title of the book, "Friends of Billy Preston." Perhaps Billy's most endearing friendship was with George Harrison, who he first met when they both were unknown aspirants trudging toward eventual stardom. They were teenagers when they met shook hands in England, and then in a Hamburg, Germany, music club. Billy was in Little Richard's touring band and George was with his fellow mates in a band called The Beatles, which was on the cusp of stardom - George, Paul, John and Ringo just didn't know it yet.
