Preston went on to do a variety of other musical projects after the Beatles broke up, which further added to his fame. Before joining A&M, he released a solo album on Apple Records and worked on George Harrison’s seminal album “All Things Must Pass.”
He won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance in 1972 for his groovy piece “Outa-Space,” while touring with the Rolling Stones and working on their records at the same time. In the 1970s, there wasn’t a huge rock ‘n roll tune that he didn’t touch.
