  • Billy Preston - The Other Fifth Beatle
    Jun 16 2026

    Welcome to Rock and Roll Flashback! I'm Jumpin' John, and faithful, long time listeners will recall that back in 2024 we aired episode #65. That Rock and Roll Flashback episode dealt with George Martin, who I nicknamed The Fifth Beatle in appreciation of his production support and keyboard contributions to so many Beatles tunes. Well, today's podcast episode will be devoted to another man who John Lennon once called [and I quote] "kind of like a Fifth Beatle" [end quote]. Of course, I'm referring to keyboardist and singer Billy Preston, whose career included being a prominent session musician, songwriter, solo artist, and concert performer. He also just happened to briefly rescue the Beatles as that band was struggling in 1969. In fact Billy Preston ended up being the only person other than John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr to receive a co-artist credit on a #1 single by the Beatles.
