Billy Preston (sometimes referred to Do What You Want) is the eleventh studio album by American soul musician Billy Preston, released in 1976 on A&M Records. It includes the singles "I've Got the Spirit" and "Girl", both of which were top 50 hits on Billboard's Soul Singles chart in the US. Preston recorded the album in Malibu, California in March 1976, shortly before joining the Rolling Stones on their two-month European tour.
Billy Preston Format: Vinyl. But it got me curious. Used record stores always seem to have at least three or four 70's Billy Preston albums in the used vinyl bins. But with the issuing of these Japanese CD remasters I thought it would be great to hear them in their original format. And I picked this one to listen to first for two reasons. Has been for some time. From beginning to end,this album is up and down sublime mid 70's funk in all it's shade. The rhythms are locked right down,Billy's distinctive mixture of different harmonic ideas-from clavinets,pianos,organs and synth bass textures of course define the music. The first five songs alone are a non stop funk groove feast.
