You Are So Beautiful

You Are So Beautiful was written by Billy Preston and Bruce Fisher, with an additional verse by Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys. Originally released by Billy Preston in 1974, the song became particularly famous through Joe Cockers 1975 interpretation. The inspiration for the song came when Billy Preston was looking to express his gratitude for the friendship and support Dennis Wilson had provided him during a difficult time in his life.
