“Drop dead”
Intemperance of language is followed by violence in
atetion. And we see much of both in our daily lives.
We say it is part of the system and part of the indi
vidual. But clearly it doesn’t have to be. Untold
legions of women and men lead lives of non-violence.
Perhaps some day nations will. You and I, good
neighbors within the community of man, can help
show the way. Get together with your family, friends,
neighbors, or co-workers to discuss the problems of
violence and how you can work together to help
solve them. For a helpful discussion guide and fur

the key-note to Billy
Preston’s life is his constant
ability to progress. At only 26,
he has made some remarkable
musical transitions. From
Little Richard to the Beatles
and now to the Rolling Stones.
At present, Billy Preston is
about to embark upon a
mammoth tour with the
Rolling Stones that will cover
most of Europe. Such a
progression confirms the fact
that Billy Preston will never
cease to leave his musical mark
on the pages of rock history.
He has contributed so much,
not only as a solo artist, but
also as a fine musician whose
keyboard abilities are
constantly in demand by other
artists. Preston has been on
tour with artists such as:
Bonnie and Delaney, Grand
Funk, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep
and, of course, his contribution
at the Madison Square Garden
benefit concert for Bangladesh
can never be forgotten.
Billy Preston’s first entry in
the pages of rock history must
have been made at three years
old, when he first climbed on
the piano seat to reach for the
keys. At six, he was running to
the local church, by which
time he had moved to Los
Angeles from his home town,
Houston, Texas, to play the
organ. At ten he played in the
church working with James
Cleveland and appearing with
Mahalia Jackson on her show.
In the same year, he took the
part of W.C. Handy as a child
actor in the film “St. Louis
Blues” which starred Nat King
Cole as the adult W.C. Handy.
in ‘62 Billy Preston joined
what was supposed to be a
gospel tour, but with Sam
Cooke and Little Richard
taking part, it inevitably turned
out to be an explosive rock ‘n
roll tour. It was the first time
Preston had ever played rock ‘r
roll, and he like it. After th<
tour, Sam Cooke asked Preston
to make an album on his
(Cooke’s label) “Sar Records” ■
it was appropriately called
“Sixteen Year Old Soul”.
By ‘65, Billy Preston had
found himself a regular spot on
a top rock ‘n roll show,
Shindig. He became the
resident keyboard player with
featured spots every now and
then. During the Shindig days,
Preston was spotted by Ray
celebrating its Annual Men’s
Day Program Sunday
November 11, 1973 at 11:00
a.m. Dr. L.H. Pitts, President
of Paine College, will be the
guest speaker. He will be
introduced by Mr. Charles
Lazenby, principal of
Columbia Junior High School,
Columbia County.
Rev. Gilbert R. Dean, is the
pastor. Hulon Rolland is
general chairman. All members
are assessed twenty-five dollars
($25.00). The church was
recently renovated, and the
main objective is to contribute
to the renovation treasury.
HARMONY
The Ushers and Usherettes
of the Harmony Baptist
Church will celebrate their
29th Anniversary Sunday, at 2
p.m. The public is invited.
Rev. Floyd Heard is pastor
and Mrs. Arnie Hill is chief
Usherette.
IHTRODUCIHG
HEWS IN
THE MOTHER
TONGUE
For Black people, the mother tongue is the
same all over the country. It’s the unique
way we have of expressing ourselves.
That’s one of the reasons the National
Black Network saw the need for a
national Black news service.
What do we call Black news? It’s simply
news reported by Black people, edited
by Black people, and affecting the lives of
Black people.
That’s the National Black Network—a vital
communications link between Black
communities everywhere.
It’s a bet that when you listen to an NBN
station, you’ll know where it’s coming from.
After all, it’s carrying your news.

Charles who was appearing on
the show. He took an
immediate interest in Preston
and asked him to make a
record with him on Vee Jay
records. Together they came
up with “The Most Exciting
Organ Ever” as well as another
gospel album. A single was
released called “Billy’s Bag”
which was a hit in Britain.
Billy’s bag was clearly to
play and be heard. So from ‘67
to ‘6B, he went on tour with
Ray Charles around the U.S.
and Europe. It was at London’s
Festival Hall that George
Harrison expressed more than
just admiration for Preston.
Phone calls were exchanged
and before long Harrison asked
Preston to come over to Apple
to “meet the Beatles”.
Not just because Billy
Preston was the first Black
American artist to work and
receive label credit with the
Beatles or because he was the
first artist to be personally
produced by an individual
Beatle, but because it is too
obvious to fall into a mass of
superlatives about an artist and
musician who is already
appreciated and respected. It’s
all true, Bill Preston has made
rock history . . . and there are
still chapters more to be made.
It’s not easy to be successful
but this is what I dream,
to reach heights unknown
as strange as it may seem.
I will never give up the thought
determination can win.
I must pay my dues, bide my time,
it’s just around the bend.
If it’s for me, I will get it.
If it’s not I am not to blame
because I am using what God gave me
and of this I am not ashamed.
He promised to exult me
if I put him first.

I may not be the best around
but I’m surely not the worst.
Music is my life
and every day I live it
and it's a good life too.
Everything 1 want to say
through the music it gets to you.
I have been blessed to play and sing
since the age of three.
You don’t know how glad 1 am
God laid his hands on me.
When I touch a piano or organ
I am giving God the praise
and I will have a song to sing
throughout my earthly days.
