Singer and song-writer Billy Preston died today in Scottsdale, Arizona. He was 59 years old.

Mr. Preston was one of the few musicians to play with both The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. He played keyboards with The Beatles on Let it Be, The White Album and Abbey Road, and Rolling Stones records including Exile on Main Street.

He wrote You Are So Beautiful, a major hit for Joe Cocker, and can be heard on the latest albums by Neil Diamond and Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Tough times for keyboardists...
