who wrote the joe cocker song you are so beautiful
You Are So Beautiful "You Are So Beautiful" is a song written by Billy Preston and Bruce Fisher that was first released on Preston's ninth studio album The Kids & Me (1974). It was also the B-side of his single "Struttin'". Later that year, Joe Cocker released a slower version of the song on his album I Can Stand a Little Rain (1974) and then as a single in January 1975. Produced by Jim Price, it became one of Cocker's biggest chart hits, peaking at number five on the US Billboard Hot 100.[1]
Beneath Your Beautiful "Beneath Your Beautiful" is an R&B ballad written by Labrinth, Mike Posner and Emeli Sandé. It was recorded as a duet between Labrinth and Sandé for Labrinth's debut studio album Electronic Earth. The title of the song attracted attention from fans, some of whom questioned Labrinth about the spelling of the word "Your" within the song's title, believing that was a grammatical error and should have been spelt "You're" (although the song's lyrics clearly refer to it as a noun). Upon reaching number one, fans asked Labrinth via social networking website Twitter about the spelling. He replied "Can I make something clear! this is twitter! Not an English GCSE haha I’ll spell as BADLY as I wish awritemayte!... Oh is this about #Beneath”YOUR”Beautiful I love how crazy this has sent people…. It was to annoy English teachers and grammar Nazis." [sic][2] The song was nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Single at the 2013 BRIT Awards.[3]
