Billy Preston - Wildest Organ In Town & Club Meeting (2004) [Remastered 2010]

Preston was a child prodigy, playing keyboards for Mahalia Jackson at age ten, portraying a young WC Handy in St. Louis Blues at age 12 and touring with Little Richard in his teens as well as being a regular on the '60's TV show, Shindig. By the time he signed with Vee Jay Records as a solo artist, he was one of the most in-demand session keyboardists around. This two-on-one release focuses on his amazing keyboard work, which was later eclipsed in the '70's as he began chalking up vocal hits! Features the albums the Wildest Organ in Town (Stereo) from 1966 and Club Meeting (Mono) from '67, both originally released on Capitol & currently out-of-print. 24 tracks. EMI.
