BILLY PRESTON - PRESTON'S FRIENDS CALL ON RADIO TO PLAY BIRTHDAY TRIBUTE

PRESTON'S FRIENDS CALL ON RADIO TO PLAY BIRTHDAY TRIBUTE

Friends of BILLY PRESTON are determined to make sure the late soul star is remembered on what would have been his 60th birthday tomorrow (02SEP06) - by urging US radio stations to play his last recording. Preston's friend and manager JOYCE MOORE and her husband SAM MOORE, are asking radio controllers to give the singer's last record a spin and wish him a happy birthday. The track, a reworking of his YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL hit, was recorded as a duet with Moore for the SOUL MAN singer's new tribute album SAM MOORE OVERNIGHT SENSATION just before Preston died on 6 June (06). The track also features a guitar solo recorded by ERIC CLAPTON and vocals from Italian pop star ZUCCHERO.
