Billy Preston – The Kids & Me
LP, Album | A&M Records | Cat. No. SP-3645 | Canada | 1974
Billy Preston at his commercial peak — the album that contains Nothing From Nothing and You Are So Beautiful, two of the most beloved soul-pop singles of 1974. Preston produced the album himself, playing keyboards throughout, with slide guitar by Joe Walsh and banjo by Al Perkins. A warm, soulful record that showcases Preston's extraordinary range as a performer and songwriter — from the funky Struttin' and Sister Sugar to the gospel-inflected John The Baptist and the tender You Are So Beautiful (later a signature hit for Joe Cocker). Canadian A&M pressing in excellent condition.
