It's My Pleasure

Released

Billy Preston’s tenth album from 1975 saw him utilising the synth programming chops of Cecil and Margouleff, whose T.O.N.T.O. synthesiser is all over the album. Mostly written or co-written by Preston, it’s a soul/R’n’B album that despite the space-age synths still has a very down-home feel to it, mostly due to Preston’s warm and welcoming voice and the rich instrumentation courtesy of guest players like uber-guitarists Shuggie Otis and George Harrison and Stevie Wonder on harmonica. An overlooked album full of Preston’s impressive keyboard — piano, Rhodes, synth, organ and clavinet — wizardry.
