A pioneer of the funk, and so much more

Very sad. An incredible musician and an extraordinary personality.
I had no idea, Matthew, before I saw your post.

Yes I do morn, Billy...

I will always think of "Song of Joy" which was recorded by The Captain and Tennille years ago as my favorite Billy Preston song. My cousin and I fell in love with it at 16 and when she got married at 35 I played it and sang it for her wedding....
