"Space Race" is an instrumental track by Billy Preston, released as a single in 1973 on the A&M label. It was taken from Preston's 1973 album Everybody Likes Some Kind of Music , and "Space Race" was awarded a gold record .
The song was created by Preston improvising while calling out chord changes to the backing band. He later added organ and hand claps. Preston named the song "Outa-Space" for the instrumental's spacy sound. [1] While he thought it would be a hit, A&M was skeptical and issued it as the B-side of "I Wrote a Simple Song" in December 1971. [1]
The album includes the instrumental "Space Race", which was released as a single and was a sequel of sorts to Preston's 1971 hit "Outa-Space".The instrumental proved popular enough that the musical variety show American Bandstand used it as the song for its mid-broadcast break from the mid-1970s until the show completed its run in 1989.
