Billy Preston "Nothing From Nothing"

This is one of my favorite songs of the Christmas season!

Yeah, I know, it's not a Christmas song. But it's on the soundtrack to the movie "Elf," so when we start playing Christmas music at home, this one comes up (along with Louis Prima's "Pennies From Heaven").

Hey, it's good any time of year, right?


Hear the song on Youtube.

Billy Preston "You Are So Beautiful"

I was unaware, until reading his obituary, that Billy Preston didn't write this about someone he was dating or married to.

He wrote "You Are So Beautiful," about his Mom.

So sing this one for Mom today.

Happy Mother's Day!
