"YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL (TO ME)" is a song written by Billy Preston , Bruce Fisher, and 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.
