You Are So Beautiful

"You Are So Beautiful" is a song written by Billy Preston and Bruce Fisher. Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys contributed to the song's genesis, but his official credit was omitted. It was first recorded by Preston and made popular by Joe Cocker. Preston who grew up playing the organ in church, originally wrote the lyrics about God.

Preston's original version first appeared on his 1974 album The Kids & Me and as the B-side on the 45rpm pressing of his pop hit, "Struttin'". Cocker's producer, Jim Price, created a slowed-down arrangement for Cocker's version, which first appeared on the album, I Can Stand a Little Rain (released later in 1974). Released as a single, the Joe Cocker version reached number five on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in 1975 and helped the album become a hit. It would be his biggest hit until his duet with Jennifer Warnes, "Up Where We Belong", which reached #1 in 1982.

Authorship

Though not officially credited as the song's writer, Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys and Preston spontaneously collaborated on the words and music to the song at a party. Wilson never sought to reclaim his share of the song's authorship. The song's tone has been related to the style of his solo material.

You Are So Beautiful (album)

You Are So Beautiful was the eighth album released by Tanya Tucker, and the fourth and final one with her first label, Columbia Records and with producer Billy Sherrill. It consisted of songs Tucker had recorded several years prior while still recording for Columbia. The highest charting single was "Spring," which rose to #18 on the Billboard C&W chart in 1975, two years before the album's release, that single having been released by Columbia to compete with Tucker's debut MCA single, the #1 C&W hit "Lizzie and the Rainman". At the time the You Are So Beautiful album was released Tucker's rendition of the title track was issued as a single reach #40 C&W; the album was Tucker's lowest ranking up to that point at #44 on the C&W Albums chart.
