I was on my back porch playing this one. Jamming with my Henny. The officer pulled up got out the car and started dancing. He said your neighbors called on you winked and drove away. RIP Mr Preston💐🤗
Those who say that Billy is NOT underrated must have been living under a rock during the 60s70s. Billy never got the recognition he deserved. This guy can play toe to toe with the great Stevie and he's definitely way better than Elton or the other Billy (Joel).
I can still see momma and my 2 year old sister jamming to ro this in our living room in 1971! Today, that same sister, my 80 year old momma, and my nieces and nephews be jamming to this along with all their little ones! 😊😇😆 .
An all-time funk classic. One of the most under-rated and complex bass lines ever in modern music. Not just a rhythmic lower fill but a countermelody that meshes perfectly with the clavinet. The genre of funk never gets the credit it deserves.
Back in the AV dept in high school, we found that an endless loop answering machine tape fit perfectly to the beat, allowing us to hear a non stop rendition of this all day. Yeah, we were the nerds before the computer stole our thunder.
Billy Preston is in the Top 3 soul/funk artists of all time. THE greatest soul/R@B keyboard player of all time. Such a fleeting career with all of his other issues, but good god he recorded some amazing music in his prime.
This Black Music Month in 2023 I celebrate this Man, Billy Preston. In late summer of 2004 or 2005 after his performance at The Tastefest in Detroit Michigan (where he played as it rained too) I spoke with him. He was very kind to me as we conversed.
yes definitely underrated as a musician, Billy was a prodigy, he was a BAAAD Man on those keyboards, one of the most sought after studio, and side man ever in his time people really don't realize how cold this dude was. he was a monster on keyboards , probably on the level of such genius's as Oscar Peterson , Eric Clapton said of Billy "one of the best keyboardist on the planet .
@@dexstewart2450Actually, they recorded Abbey Road later that year, THEN broke up. If George hadn’t called Billy in, neither of those albums would have been made, because they were as good as done.
I opened every show with this one .....Thanks B. Remember when you came out to see the Omarays band and we ate hot dogs and got all pie eyed...Me Too!!!
Muppets from Space (1999) brought me here and also to think I remember hearing this song in a trailer for Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle on the 2003 VHS tape of Anger Management before!
November 1973, I was in the Marine Corps at Parris Island. We were cleaning up the rifle range after qualifying. I remember the Range NCOIC turned up the speakers so we could hear the music playing and this song was playing. I had not heard music since the I arrived on Parris Island. It was "Music to Our Ears."
@willardlockejr2965 Thank you for your service, too. Navy is always there. I'd remind my Marine buddies that the Marine Corps is part of the Navy. Look at the official seal of the Marine Corps. At the top of the Offical Seal, it says, "Department of the Navy" at the bottom of the seal it says "United States Marine Corps."
@@usmc-veteran73-77 The Navy and the Marine Corps take pride in working together as a team. Especially when deployed at sea. There was a Marine Detachment (MARDET) when I was deployed onboard the aircraft carriers USS FORRESTAL and the USS CORAL SEA back in 1982 and 1989 respectively. We had each others back.
@willardlockejr2965 I agree with you 100%. If you look at the official seal of the Marine Corps. At the bottom, it says, "United States Marine Corps" at the top of the official seal, it reads , "Department of the Navy." The Marine Corps is part of the Navy. Semper Fidelis from an old Marine Sergeant.
@@usmc-veteran73-77 I'm very aware of the Department of The Navy seal with the United States Marine Corps located at the bottom. I saw it a lot during my Navy days. After all, we're all Comrades who served with pride, honor, courage and commitment. 🇺🇸

@@RonaldCharlesEpstein exactly, I'm tired of these black artists rippin' off Lawrence Welk. Behind the scenes he was the uncredited Godfather of Soul, R&B, Funk, hip hop, and even Gangsta Rap. He may have looked all prim and proper on stage, but backstage he was the hippest of the hip, perfecting the beat box and scratchin' on that Victrola, with moves like James Brown, swag like Jay Z, and bootylicious bitches lined up at the snap of a finger like Fonzie 👍 all up in that ghetto bootie, sheeeiiit mo fo, sho nuff.

"OUTA SPACE" by BILLY PRESTON won a GRAMMY for BEST INSTUMENTAL when it came out !

The Man Who Saved The Beatles.
I like the sound of that
Given that they broke up after the album he played on...
@@dexstewart2450Actually, they recorded Abbey Road later that year, THEN broke up. If George hadn’t called Billy in, neither of those albums would have been made, because they were as good as done.
Perhaps the very best ever example of the Hohner D6 model Clavinet...with a wah wah pedal. Billy loved that instrument and used it extremely well.
REMEMBERING WILLIAM "BILLY" PRESTON

Rock in peace, Billy ✌️
Beautiful person human and a Great Artist,oh yeah❤

In that order ✌🏾
RIP one of the most underrated musical legends who ever graced this planet
i disagree. billy p was a pretty big deal. he had a number of hits on his own, played w/long list of legends including beatles and stones.
yes,but he still was underrated
@@midnightrider7648 I agree with you.
Underrated? Nah.
@@kathberry8 No, he ain't.
I opened every show with this one .....Thanks B. Remember when you came out to see the Omarays band and we ate hot dogs and got all pie eyed...Me Too!!!
Wow what a song!!! Just discovered it in an 80s movie called "One Crazy Summer".
Billy's a legend
He really knew the groove.
He played it effortlessly.
This song would be a perfect wake up call for any astronaut.
Some would prefer STAR TREK themes.
@@RonaldCharlesEpstein That's what headphones are for.
Billy is jamming. My first album was Billy Preston. I still like him today. Jam on
I am jamming him right now 3/23/2023 California😊😊
My main favorite instrumental late mother's record and album brings back childhood memories rest in peace
BILLY PRESTON PLAYED THE HELL OUT OF OUTA SPACE
Love to see the video with Billy Preston and 2 young and upcoming musicians in his band, brothers Louis and George Johnson
One of my favorite jams by this brother..
#the70scalled. Thanks for the trip home.
I was so young when I first heard this, didn't know the name of it, who wrote it , all I knew was everything just stopped when it came on the radio
Heard this driving to work today and thought: Kool Mo Dee, "Rise and Shine"! Anyone else?
Tube rare et superbe, j'adore ce son inimitable des années 70.
Time MACHINE Needed TIME MACHINE Needed all we got is MEMORIES DAM
This sums my Uncle Steve in one shot. Man knows his music and I adore him for it.
One of my favorite instrumentals...ever!
Driver parallel lines here

Whenever I play this track, my neighbors hear it too!
This might possibly be the funkiest song of all time?
Saw him on Dick Clarks new years rocking eve on dec 31 1971. He had times square going crazy.

Definitely heard that on Muppets From Space and Driver Parallel Lines
Jim Bohannan theme song. Billy Preston rocked it on those keys!
A 1:45-minute clip from this is played in episode "Red" of the Netflix series "Kaleidoscope".
A True Classic 👏
From my hometown, H-Town! R.I.P.
I was10 tears old dancing to outterspace!!!!!!
Electro⚡Funk...tiembla Progressive Rock & Krautrock
Da Fiff Beatle!!!
This was the song that inspired The Commodores’ “Machine Gun”.
A great. Pick me. Up song
Where all the instpiration for my song "It's Like That" came from right chere.
If billy can't make you move,
I question if you have a soul
Car chase soundtrack of the 70s movies.
Bowie swiped a good chunk of this groove for Look Back In Anger.
Kaleidoscope ( Red ) bought me here!
The Fifth Beatle!
Cool 🎉

Rush Hour 2
I Feel Sorry 4 That Organ.
Sounds like this is where MJ got his hook for Burn This Disco Out.
*Muppets from Space🩵💚💙❤️*
Why am I thinking Billy Batson
10x
This sounds like the moonview highway theme from Mario kart wii
The 5th Beatle with his best work.
Reminds me of daft punk
This comment made me cringe so hard.
if that's true, everything must be reminding you of daft punk
Nothing from nothing & Will it go around in circles....John Lennon wanted to have Preston join the Beatles but Paul McCartney didn't agree.
