...faces (for "Nowhere Man"), an Eleanor Rigby character toting her past in a cluttered cart, a jaunty man on trombone-shaped stilts, a Sergeant Pepper figure toting an instrument out of Ted Geisel - a Seuss-ophone. For "Help!", four extreme athletes zoom up and over two U-shaped slides. Harrison's gorgeous "Here Comes the Sun" (which never sounded better) is accompanied by four women performing aerial yoga.

...hits as Nothing from Nothing and Will It Go Round in Circles? Yet to such peers as Bob Dylan and the Beatles, the gregarious, gospel-influenced virtuoso, who also wrote You Are So Beautiful for Joe Cocker, was the most coveted session player of his era. Preston--who George Harrison said kept the Fab Four together on their final, tumultuous recording, Let It Be--famously accompanied them in their last concert, in 1969 on a London rooftop.
