Outapace song went to # 2 on the U.S. Charts in 1972. The song is a timeless classic. Billy Preston was a Musical Genius who went on to have many other big hits and he played with the Beatles. He performed on the Beatles hit "Get Back" and the single said "The Beatles with Billy Preston". That was the first time someone else shared the spotlight with the Beatles on the record label. He also performed on the Abbey Road and Let It Be albums.
Billy I hope you are inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame . Truly magical 11!!!!, Fantastic !!!!! undeniable a wonderkind !!11! People like him never havetrue friends around you when you're hurting , they're just there to party . So sad !!!!
When you like someone who is Bad Ass like Billy Preston.Go see them because they can't live forever.And you will always wish you went and saw them.This from experience!
The clavinet was literally invented for this man and stevie wonder........superstition , higher ground and OUTTASPACE!!!......the quintessential clavinet jams....
I wish I'd written him while he was still alive! The Clavinet was INVENTED for Billy Preston. There's no other explanation for this. I'm pretty sure the wah pedal was also invented for this song. All those other times you heard a wah, it was actually a wuh. lol
Out-a-Space is one of my favorite funk cuts of all time. Billy was always a great musician and genius on keys. Isn't that George and Louis Johnson in the backup band? I know at one time they were part of his touring band during the early '70's when they were still in their teens.

It's a good thing Billy and Sly Stone never played together. The stage would have exploded from all that funk.

In 1973 I saw Billy and his band (incl. Mick Taylor!), supporting the Stones in Manchester.
A most wonderful show.
