Preston created the sound of "Outa-Space" by running the sound from a clavinet through a wah wah pedal and then improvising a groove while calling out chord changes to the backing band. He later added organ and hand claps to the track. Preston came up with the title "Outa-Space" due to 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] However, radio DJs began flipping the single and, while "I Wrote a Simple Song" only reached number 77 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart,[2] "Outa-Space" peaked at number 2, showing that Preston's feelings about it were correct.[1] Chart performance"Outa-Space" was kept out of the number 1 spot by, Lean on Me by Bill Withers.[3] The instrumental also topped the R&B Singles chart for a week.[4] The single was certified gold by the RIAA for sales of one million copies.[1] In late 1972, "Outa-Space" peaked at number 44 on the UK Singles Chart.[5] "Outa-Space" won the Grammy for Best Pop Instrumental Performance of 1972. Billboard ranked it as the number 22 song for 1972.[6] Song in Pop Culture
