Be ye filled with the Spirit! Billy was experiencing a foretaste of glory. Now he is there in the presence of the Messiah with joy that cannot be expressed with mere words. Praise His Holy Name!
Hear what God of Israel YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH (Son and Father are ONE) saying to our generation by His chosen prophets: Trumpetcallofgodonline. com ; Letter called "Purify Your Faith, and Come to the Father as It is Written": EXCERPT: "Only in the Bible and through these very Letters, of which I have given to My prophet of the end of this age, shall you find Him and know Him."
I have never heard this song before. Cool song. I knew George was a big fan of gospel music. Sad so many of the Fab Four's friends have joined them in heaven. I did not know Billy was gay. I like that the Beatles were open minded. Brian Epstein was gay and he changed their lives!
George Harrison - Billy Preston - Ravi Shankar ~ That's The Way God Planned It ~ I was blessed to have had the opportunity to be backstage in 1974 at The Forum in Los Angeles, CA during this legendary Concert for Bangladesh ~ Peace & Love always; Cheers David Harrison Levi ~ Starmaker
@deserteacher When I saw the film "Concert for Bangledesh," God used this song to bear witness of the truth of the gospel. Just a short time later, I met the Lord Jesus Christ and He changed my life for eternity. I thank the Lord for such a wonderful brother as Billy Preston. See when I get home, Billy!
@shilohrenovation how wonderful! i accepted the Lord December 1970--i prayed for the Beatles every day for decades--I trust the Lord used Billy, too, for them
what a genius and a talent... I want to jump through my screen and be there... there are a few brilliant artists around now... but not as many as their was back then it seems...
When the spirit takes hold sometimes you CAN'T sit down. You can tell that Billy had lost control of his actions and was being controlled by someone or something (depending on your belief) more powerful than himself.
@RustySchit Pardon me, but yes it most certainly is Church. Spirit led musicians and singers are the best , most free performers, and when the SPIRIT moves us, praise GOD, we just can't help it.
You're on a stage. People aren't familiar with you. George Harrison is standing nearby. What do you do? You fire on all cylinders, that's what and that's what Preston did here.
He even managed to get a smile and a spritely two-step out of the usually controlled glorious-through-eternity Harrison.
Incredibly beautiful gospell song. God bless Billy. And I have to say that even to this day this song brings some hope and comfort, as "the way God planned it". :)
I like Billy Preston and knew who he was, but I never knew what he battling besides the drugs and alcohol. I watch this video over and over just to watch him get his step on. I'm glad he allowed the Holy Spirit to have it's way!
I have heard of him before, but Unsung's documentary of him and his musical genius made me have a great respect to this man and his God given talent. RIP Billy...
BTW, his "strut" we church call steppin, in which he was doing a lot of that night!!
Billy Preston has to be one of the most soulfull, talented personalities this planet has seen in the last 40 years. He had it all. No wonder they called him the 5th Beatle :)
TV One Unsung series about his life brought me here. I am 38 and had never heard of this great artist and musician. He played background for tons of Hall of Fame artists but never became mainstream himself. His soul was tormented by being sexually abused as a child and his outlet was music. He eventually expired due to an apocalyptic crack cocaine addiction that stemmed from the lifelong pain he felt being a closet homosexual while trying to stay true to his gospel roots. What a man! RIP Mr. P.
@zlando1 I remember that movie... It was really slow almost to the point of sucking..Then Billy got up and did this song and that movie rocked from that point on. I agree about the dancing... so cool. I bet that was the Holy Spirit taking hold of him lol. He did learn a lot of his music from church... This version of this song is in my top 10 all time favorite songs. Check out Jools Holland with Billy on his show doing this song too... 2 of my favorite key board players....very cool
@ColeHan100: A girl who can't sing to save her life. Not only did she get over 100 million views, she also got a recording contract and is about to release a record. I'm so glad I got to see Billy live in Eric Clapton's 2001 tour. He was amazing 'til the end.
@jezmundberserker In 10 years from now people willl be wondering the same question...the only diffierence is that in Rebecca Black's place there will be a Rebecca White or Green or Red or Yellow or Blue...but Billy will still be there...
@jezmundberserker Seems to be the way it goes. This great music used to be popular now they want Bieber or Swift and the few people out there that are close to this good get ignored by the mainstream.
I don't have any doubts he was lifted in The Spirit, when The Holly Ghost tell you to get up an dance, you will get up and you will dance!!!! HALELUYA!
Resurection be a new Love Peace Joy Salvation Health Safety Deliverance Wealth & Wisdom today + 4 evermore** Mr Preston left us a memorable celebration of our Father God...
burgettube You are a pathological liar, and if you dig deep enough in to your mind you know its true, you never seen any God, but you wish you did, you need answers, and only way you can get it is by composing stories, but its all lies, and you KNOW! IT. you are sick, and should have your head examined.
Oh "he" knew,-So the future is predestined, what a relief, then i dont have look out when i cross the street. snap out of it dude you live a delusional life, with demons and fairies, old men with beards in the sky, and stories of floods that cover the entire planet, where did all that water go, any ways i doubt your psychological problem can be solved, and you will probably die never understanding that your life was a based on a stupid lie.
@likoly02 sorry, you are wrong...and we are blessed to be living for the Lord. How's life going for you? Aisde from being angry at people who follow the best man who ever walked the face of the earth.
Words of wisdom...Chrsitians are decieved...they will be surprised at judgement, real followers of Christ are LOVE, theyfeed orphans and widows, etc. Beware the TV evangelists,they started the "prosperity movement" they said it was bible based! They are devils, but JESUS lives, and he loves you!
@makka432 ....LAUGH OUT LOUD ! I don't usually reply to nonsense, but I DO reply to LIERS. Hello Lier !
Very nice statement you made LIER.,do stupid people think they are invisible? Do u really think you can speak for UTUBE? Take a look at yourself.. in your bathroom mirror say this comment again.....
NOBODY WANTS TO PUT UP WITH YOUR PREACHING< KEEP IT IN CHURCH BUDDY....and again.....are you beginning to see how stupid you are you LIER? YOU COULDN"T POSSIBLY SPEAK FOR YOUTUBE..
@makka432 didn't I just tell you? How can I make it cleaer to you? Are you not even aware of what you said?
It's right above here "BUDDY" shall I repeat myslef or is answering me with "what the F am I talking about" all you can come up with? Just see what you are saying and don't justify it now that you know you screwed up....now, anymore questions, foul mouth !
@burgertube1 You're obviously not too healthy in the head, considering all you are sending me are incoherent rants which I couldn't possibly understand.
@likoly02 why couldn't you have just said "this is a great performance, just awesome" without needing to announce that you're an atheist? It's like you people are scared to death that someone might mistake you for a Christian. and that wouldn't be cool.
@boilingpoint3: Correct. He played also on the original album track, together with Eric Clapton and Keith Richards. Preston played together with The Beatles on 'Let It Be' and it's obvious to hear the similarities between 'That's The Way God Planned It' and 'Let It Be'. The Beatles and Preston recorded the final version of 'Let It Be' on 31 January 1969 ad Preston his song on 5 May 1969. Therefore, I guess 'Let It Be' was the inspiration for Preston to write 'That's The Way God Planned It'.
WOW! AWESOME! Billy taking us 2 church. More importantly "LISTEN" 2 the words. Spreading the word in his interpretation through his gift of music. Now that's what "MINISTRY" really is, reaching out 2 "ALL". Contrary 2 what the church may say or how they feel. We tend 2 put 2 much emphasis on how the gospel is suppose 2 be spread. As long as it's "UNADULTERATED" Who's 2 judge.
Billy GENIO entre los GENIOS, a menudo me pregunto como DIOS deja que se mueran estas personas que le hacen tan bien a todos, y como veo parece que con esos pases de baile se le adelanto a jackson
the definition of a show stopper. if this performance doesn't give you goose bumps, and bring a tear to your eyes,you might want to check your pulse. rip billy...you're sorely missed.....
that is one of the most moving performances ever captured on film. every time I watch this I get chills - and when Billy gets up to dance my heart swells. that is just pure joy and love of music.
Be ye filled with the Spirit! Billy was experiencing a foretaste of glory. Now he is there in the presence of the Messiah with joy that cannot be expressed with mere words. Praise His Holy Name!

WOW! AWESOME! Billy taking us 2 church. More importantly "LISTEN" 2 the words. Spreading the word in his interpretation through his gift of music. Now that's what "MINISTRY" really is, reaching out 2 "ALL". Contrary 2 what the church may say or how they feel. We tend 2 put 2 much emphasis on how the gospel is suppose 2 be spread. As long as it's "UNADULTERATED" Who's 2 judge.

Billy GENIO entre los GENIOS, a menudo me pregunto como DIOS deja que se mueran estas personas que le hacen tan bien a todos, y como veo parece que con esos pases de baile se le adelanto a jackson

Have to say that Clapton's lead guitar is pretty good on this as well.
