He was one of several individuals to earn the title of the “Fifth Beatle,” and he was the only non-member ever to be credited on a Beatles recording. Now, he’s getting the documentary treatment. The prolific pianist Billy Preston will be the subject of an upcoming untitled documentary feature from White Horse Pictures and Homegrown Pictures, according to Deadline.

Producer Stephanie Allain says of the project:

“A singular figure in music history, Billy Preston lent his genius to elevate the most celebrated artists of the 20th Century. Grateful to work with this team, using this soundtrack to explore his personal journey and finally place him front and center. The Billy Preston we know was an incomparable musician, but the Billy we’ll see in this documentary was a mass of contradictions. I’m thrilled to dig deeper into the complex man under the Afro, and behind the famous smile.”

Paris Barclay — a multi-Emmy-winning director, producer, and writer known for work on “In Treatment,” “Glee,” and “Sons of Anarchy” — will direct. He will also write the film alongside Cheo Hodari Coker, known for work on “Creed II,” “Luke Cage,” and “Ray Donovan.”
