Billy Preston

A&M soul legend from early 1970's recorded a few disco tracks later in the decade. If you like his early funk stuff, listen for "Outa space". After a leaving A&M records in 1978 with a final single ("Disco dancing"), he signed to Motown and recorded on the soundtrack for the movie "Fast Break". From this album is the excellent disco track "Go for it", featuring the vocals of Motown label-mate Syreeta.
