Billy is an amazing individual and incredible keyboardist. He should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a sideman, if not with his band Little Feat. The people he has played with over the years is a who's who of Rock and Roll.

[Bill Burgess]

The summer of love was 1967.

I respect Bill so much as a player, his skills bring him to the level of the Best in his field... Loved 'em Live... I gained so much inspiration from the whole band & borrowed a lick or 10 from them.. back in 'bout '89 Let It Roll was released and I was so glad to see the band back and sounding great. I missed Lowell but was so glad to the guys playing again and appearently having a Ball if the Video is any indication. I just wanted to say I really like theis band, they are among my Top 10 Favs

[huskvarsm]

I love this guy i could sit and listen to him for hours.oh and just happens to be in the top 3 best keyboard players in the world today.

[MK H]

I did a guest DJ show at a radio station playing just songs that Billy Payne played on. The range of songs was from The Doobie Brothers, Meatloaf, Bob Seger, James Taylor, Toto, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt and more.

It is unbelievable that the idiots that nominate and induct artists into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame don't recognize Billy's contribution to Rock and Roll. He should be in there as a "sideman". There are so many great songs that his playing has graced.

[bobby becker]

yes--Bill Payne SHOULD be in The R&R Hall of Fame given the body of work he has done over the years with SO many artists--His contribution to music is unparalleled!!!

[SOMELITTLEGIANT]

I think he also plays the classic piano intro on China Grove

[Doc Dougherty]

No one plays piano like this Man, Period.

Phenomenal, and one of a kind.

If you played me a hundred parts, I could pick out Bill's in a second.

[Curly Byrd]

Bill Payne and all the rest of Little Feat deserve recognition by enshrinement in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. They have been going on like the energizer bunny and just keep evolving. Their repertoire is absolutely amazing.

My wife and I have followed them on their trips through the Northwest several times & every night it's a new show. They are all good people and more than willing to talk.

Bill Payne is immensely talented and he has worked long & hard to take that talent higher.
