"You Are So Beautiful" is a song written by Billy Preston and Bruce Fisher (as well as an uncredited Dennis Wilson of The Beach Boys). It was first recorded by Preston and made popular in a version by Joe Cocker.

Preston's original version first appeared on his 1974 album, The Kids & Me. 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.

I really like Joe, I saw a movie in the early 1970'S call, Mad Dogs and Englishmen, when he was touring the US. I have the CD, but I have never found an original copy on VCR or DVD. I checked E-Bay, and found a few, but not sure of the authenticity so I didn't order them. Also, happy Mothers Day to all the mothers on the Vine.

Joe's really a class act. I've never seen the movie but would like to. The CD is great but I don't have a copy. Hopefully you can find an orginal copy of the movie. Maybe a bookstore like Barnes and Noble would carry it.

I found a couple of video clips from the movie. One of my favorites, Leon Russell is on piano.

Wow! I need to find a copy of the movie too!

Thanks, Allen!
