What y'all know about Billy Preston?

[Maxine Shaw]

Dude was incredible. It infuriates me how cacs have reduced him to little more as the "Fifth Beatle".







(most people don't know Billy wrote this song)

Don't want to just make a YT spam thread, but you brehs should check him out if you don't know his music. For the fans, here's his Unsung (which was very well done)

 

[NoMoreWhiteWoman2020]

he was also gay so thats why he doesn't get as much shine

 

[Sleepy Walker]

Damn I thought this was about the basketball player.

I smack a nikka silly with a milly or a wesson
Pushing all my keys like my name was Billy Preston

In an interview for a 2010 BBC Radio 4 documentary on his life and career, Preston's manager Joyce Moore revealed that after she began handling his affairs, Preston opened up to her about the lifelong trauma he had suffered as the result of being sexually abused as a boy. Preston told Moore that at about the age of nine, after he and his mother moved to Los Angeles from Houston to perform in a touring production of Amos 'n' Andy, he was repeatedly abused by the touring company's pianist. When Preston told his mother about the abuse, she did not believe him, and failed to protect him.
[16] The abuse subsequently went on for the entire summer, and Preston stated that he was also later abused by a local pastor.

Tragic

yeah he was a little twisted

A traumatic incident, which reportedly affected Preston deeply, occurred in the early 1970s, while he was engaged to actress and model Kathy Silva. At this time Preston had become close friends with musician Sly Stone, and made many contributions to Stone's recordings of the period (including the album There's a Riot Goin' On). According to Moore, Preston was devastated when he came home one day to find Stone in bed with Silva (who later married Stone on stage at Madison Square Garden). According to Moore, Silva's affair with Stone was the trigger that led Preston to stop having relationships with women. It was after this incident that he began using cocaine and having sex with men, and Moore has stated that she saw his drug abuse as his way of coping with the internal conflicts he felt about his "sexual urges".

Preston was molested by a preacher when he was a little boy.

Absent his personal issues he was a musical prodigy and generally referred to as the 5th Beatle.

yep, most child molesters were molested themselves. its not an excuse, just an explanation for their behavior. i read billy was molested repeatedly by multiple people

the same goes for physical abuse as well, sometimes. my stepdad whooped the shyt outta me. i told myself if i ever had a kid i'd never treat them that way

unfortunately wealthy cacs are destroying the planet, so i have no desire to bring a new life into this world anyway

its an r kelly type situation for me. separate the art from the artist. of course, a lotta folks cant look past that. look at what happened to isaiah rashad!
