Muddy Waters - Got My Mojo Workin'

Howlin' Wolf - Evil (Is Going On) Billy Preston Alongside Tony Sheridan, Billy Preston was the only other musician to be credited on a Beatles recording: the artists on the number-one hit "Get Back" are given as "The Beatles with Billy Preston". Stephen Stills asked Preston if he could use Preston's phrase "if you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with" and created the hit song.[2] Early life and career[edit] Relationship with the Beatles[edit] Preston is one of several people sometimes referred to by outsiders as a "Fifth Beatle". At one point during the "Get Back" sessions, John Lennon even proposed the idea of having him as the "Fifth Beatle" (to which Paul McCartney countered that it was bad enough with four).[4] Preston first met The Beatles as a 16-year-old in 1962 while part of Little Richard's touring band, when their manager Brian Epstein organized a Liverpool show, at which the Beatles opened. Post-Beatles solo career[edit] Preston singing at the piano in 1971 Legal troubles[edit] Later work[edit]
