A great man and a great musician, as evidenced by the Beatles requesting his presence on the album Let It Be, when either John or Paul could have easily done the job. The mention was also a great compliment, if you remember Clapton played on the White Album and recieved no mention.

First Vince Welnick and now Billy Preston, we are running out of great keyboardists.
