[jenevajones991]

[KillaKobra09]

Hes not wearing a wig, thats called a "conk." Black people did that back in the day cause they were trying to make it look like white people hair.

[lhr1967]

VERY GOOD

[evanfrmheaven]

Whoever Nelson, I wished he stay off the mic!

[Redshoes531]

notice that Billy's the only black dude there and they made him wear a wig.. he was too good for em!!

[Lolinwhite]

Incredible Billy... It is very rare to see a real live song in the wonderful "shindig!" show.

[toddutoob]

Ricky Nelson. Not Willie

[superyou918]

Are you sure that's Willie Nelson there at the end? i don't recognize him at all.  If that's true, that's crazy!

[tutorlog]

In 1965, he was just 19, but had been entertaining for years.

[cloacamusical]

vaya peluquín

[radioman66]

You can tell Billy was a Beatles fan from the beginning. He is sporting the famous Beatle mop top plus the Beatles did this song in a medley called Kansas City/Hey Hey Hey Hey a year earlier. Finally became the 5th Beatle from 1968 - 1970. RIP Billy.

[Gagagrr]

I wonder if this was before or after the passing of Nat..

[ShtotaKoya]

you gotta love that white guy at the end... haha, what a D-bag

[bryanmarquardt]

That guy at the end was Willy Nelson

[peepeeray]

Willy was Ricky Nelson's cousin. Later became his manager. But as this Shindig video shows, Willy was a singer in his own right.

[egnilk66]

@peepeeray Are you not familiar with Willie Nelson??

[AristYdes]

the white guy has no soul

[seanpat87]

Music is in this guys blood, bones, and flesh.

Truly amazing sound. Is it possible to not smile while watching Billy?

[BigHowdy]

Any idea who the guy is singing Shout at the end?

[SaxMan426]

That is Wink Martindale...the game show host.

[tumsabai]

The shindig show is where Billy Preston

got his start, around 1963 to 1965.

[deanajandeny65]

Maybe so, but he was on the Nat King Cole show when he was about 11. He was a favourite of mine and it's a shame he's gone. god bless you Billy.
