Billy Preston

"In 1971 George Harrison and Ravi Shankar held their famous Concert for Bangladesh at New York’s Madison Square Garden. The stage was positively bristling with MD421s, including all of the stars’ lead vocal mics (Eric Clapton, Ringo Star, George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Leon Russell and Billy Preston) Check out the video." -Martin Mitchell's Microphones.

Preston pioneered the use of the Clavinet during the recording of "Outa-Space" in 1972, according to this website.

Preston is seen on the Rhodes accompanying members of the Beatles during the "Let It Be" sessions.

"Preston, who died Tuesday at 59 in Los Angeles after a long, kidney-related illness that had left him in a coma since November, was a virtuoso on the Hammond B-3 organ. Two albums recorded before he was 20 were aptly titled 'The Wildest Organ in Town' and 'Most Exciting Organ Ever.'"
