While I tend to like a very broad array of music, I must admit that there is one instrument that I just can't get enough of - the Hammond B3. The sound is so unmistakable and so many famous musicians play the B3 that it is amazing they haven't produced a new one since the mid-70's. I'll have to resist the temptation to post too many songs featuring the B3.
Excerpt from Billy Preston's Bio:
Billy was called the Fifth Beatle because he played keyboards on Let it Be, The White Album and Abbey Road. He also played on the Rolling Stones's hit song Miss You, and often played with Eric Clapton. He also did the organ work on Sly & the Family Stone's greatest hits. Preston's own hits included "Nothing from Nothing," "Will it Go Round in Circles," and "You Are So Beautiful," which Joe Cocker turned into an international hit.
