  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?

  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting.

Billy Preston the unofficial 5th Beatle and underrated soul singer, performing with Ray Charles on the piano. You just don’t see this kind of performance any more.

Nice suit, nice moves.

We need a *soul channel.

That's some *quality Genius right there.

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by therealblankman.

I saw Billy Preston with George Harrison and Ravi Shankar (among others) at the Los Angeles Forum, which will tell you how old I am (roughly). Awesome.

Ridiculously badass!

Yes kids, that's a "live" recording as we used to call them. If some youtuber uploaded the actual microphone recording from this, it would sound exactly the same. Neat huh?
