  1. Billy Preston - The Other Fifth Beatle

    Billy Preston - The Other Fifth Beatle

    Welcome to Rock and Roll Flashback!  I'm Jumpin' John, and faithful, long time listeners will recall that back in 2024 we aired episode #65.  That Rock and Roll Flashback episode dealt with George Martin, who I nicknamed The Fifth Beatle in appreciation of his production support and keyboard contributions to so many Beatles tunes.  Well, today's podcast episode will be devoted to another man who John Lennon once called [and I quote] "kind of like a Fifth Beatle" [end quote].  Of course, I'm referring to keyboardist and singer Billy Preston, whose career included being a prominent session musician, songwriter, solo artist, and concert performer.  He also just happened to briefly rescue the Beatles as that band was struggling in 1969.  In fact Billy Preston ended up being the only person other than John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr to receive a co-artist credit on a #1 single by the Beatles.  We welcome your feedback, so please feel free to click on this link and let us know your thoughts and/or suggestions via phone text! All podcasts on the Rock and Roll Flashback Podcast are produced by brothers-in-law Bill Price and "Jumpin' John" McDermott.  The Podcast Theme Song, "You Essay", was written by John.  It was initially recorded by Bill and John on April 1, 2004 with several revisions since then.  Multiple promo videos and photos for Rock and Roll Flashback Podcasts are available on the following social media sites: https://www.youtube.com/@RockandRollFlashback https://www.facebook.com/rockandrollflashbackpodcast https://www.instagram.com/jumpinjohnmcdermott/ Bill and John welcome your feedback and comments, and they can be emailed to rockandrollflashback@outlook.com.
