Encouraging Words
''Encouraging Words'' is the fifth studio album by Billy Preston, released in 1970 on Apple Records. It was the second and last of his albums for the Beatles' label, after which he moved to A&M.
==Background and recording==
As on the previous year's ''That's the Way God Planned It'', Preston worked closely with George Harrison on the album, the Beatle contributing guitar, co-producing, and co-writing a song with Preston. Harrison also donated two of his own − and subsequently most famous – compositions in "My Sweet Lord" and "All Things Must Pass", both of which he had yet to release himself. (Work on ''All Things Must Pass'' would only begin after the Preston sessions were completed.)
Recorded in London, ''Encouraging Words'' retained some of the all-star personnel from its predecessor − again featuring Eric Clapton as well as Harrison on guitar − augmented by the likes of Ringo Starr, Klaus Voormann and various members of Delaney & Bonnie's "Friends" band.〔("Billy Preston ''Encouraging Words''" ), Apple Records (retrieved 16 February 2012).〕 Crucially though, there were also contributions from members of the Temptations' and Sam and Dave's backing bands,〔Keith Badman, ''The Beatles Diary Volume 2: After the Break-Up 1970–2001'', Omnibus Press (London, 2001), p. 203.〕 ensuring a more sympathetic setting for Preston's music than that provided by the all-British rock line-up on the 1969 album.〔Simon Leng, ''While My Guitar Gently Weeps: The Music of George Harrison'', Hal Leonard (Milwaukee, WI, 2006), p. 70.〕 As a result, ''Encouraging Words'' is typical of Preston's successful blend of soul and rock,〔Simon Leng, ''While My Guitar Gently Weeps: The Music of George Harrison'', Hal Leonard (Milwaukee, WI, 2006), p. 72.〕 highlighted by his powerful voice and virtuoso Hammond organ and piano playing.
In late April 1970, Harrison arrived in New York, where he was said to be working on Preston's album.〔Keith Badman, ''The Beatles Diary Volume 2: After the Break-Up 1970–2001'', Omnibus Press (London, 2001), p. 6.〕〔John Harris, "A Quiet Storm", ''Mojo'', July 2001, p. 72.〕 It is possible that orchestral strings were overdubbed onto "All Things Must Pass" and "Little Girl" at this point, after which Harrison collaborated briefly with Bob Dylan.〔Keith Badman, ''The Beatles Diary Volume 2: After the Break-Up 1970–2001'', Omnibus Press (London, 2001), p. 7.〕
