Billy Preston should be able to enter the Hall in the Sideman category in the future which is probably how he should enter. This isn’t to say that his solo work wasn’t good, because it certainly was. His 70’s Soul Pop work was very good and infectious. It may not have been substantial enough to get him in as a solo performer, but the Sideman wing of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will probably house Billy Preston one day.
