This one maybe not be to anyone's taste. However I do like a bit of Syreeta.

I believe Scherrie Payne performed back up vocals on this album.

Still, Billy Preston's greatest and most popular work was before he came to Motown.

I managed to download Billy’s three solo Motown albums from an online MP3 website and although I haven’t given them all a proper listen, I am loving "Pressin' On" especially!!!!



Unfortunately I am as yet unfamiliar with Billy’s pre-Motown work, but I hope to get into it.

[McMotown]

Nice one Tom I had forgotten how good 'Pressin' On' was.
Now loving it all over again

I love Billy's Motown albums who have been criminally ignored by Universal in the reissue deprtment unfortunately. Only the Billy Preston & Syreeta album came out on cd through soulmusic.com records but the sound quality isn't that great.
