Billy Preston has died...

[Robinrs]

Billy's performance of this song at "The Concert For Bangledesh" was so wonderful!! It's a song he and George used to sing together. Grimley and Micca, they is a wonderful reunion going on tonight in heaven. *Hugs*



Why cant we be humble
Like the good Lord said
He promised to exalt us
And show us the way
How can men be so greedy
When there's so much land
All things are God given
And they all have been blessed


Thats the way
God planned it
Thats the way
He wants it to be
For you and me
Gotta say amen now to it

Thats the way
God planned it
Thats the way
He wants it to be
Let the whole world see
Dont ya know He'll get you through it


Let not your heart be troubled
Let morning sorrows cease
Learn to help one another
And live in perfect peace
If we just be humble
Like the good Lord said
He promised to exualt us
His love is the way



Thats the way
God planned it
Thats the way
He wants it to be
For you and for me
Gotta say amen now to it

Thats the Way
God planned it
Thats the way
He wants it to be
Lets' let the whole world see
dont you know He'll get you through it

Thats the way


I hope you get the message
When you dont
Somebody will
You may not understand me
But I'll love you still


Thats the way
God planned it
Thats the way
He wants it to be
For you and for me
Gotta say amen now to it

Thats the way
God planned it
thats the way
He wants it to be
He set the whole world free
Dont ya know He'll get you through it

Omg.. That song just got to me. I really needed to hear that this morning. Thanks again, Billy....

Great singer and a very talented organist. How sad.

Ya know, this made me think... I guess now the only talented organists left in the world are in churches or circuses. I always thought Billy Preston didn't get enough notoriety for his contributions to music. The guy was a big part of rock-n-roll. RIP
