Billy Preston had a big-time resumé, having played behind Little Richard and Ray Charles and as part of the “Shindig!” house band before joining the Beatles for their famed rooftop concert. The group liked Billy so much that Apple Records bought out his recording contract and signed him. George Harrison produced this gospel-tinged track and played guitar alongside Eric Clapton. Keith Richards was on bass, Ginger Baker on drums and backing vocals were by Doris Troy (“Just One Look”) and Madeline Bell, both of whom just sang on the Stones’ “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.” Quite the lineup there.
