It marked his second and final project for the Beatles’ label before signing with A\u0026amp;M Records. Co-produced by Preston and George Harrison, the album featured the first released versions of Harrison’s “All Things Must Pass” and “My Sweet Lord,” appearing two months ahead of Harrison’s own recordings on his landmark triple LP All Things Must Pass.  Preston’s take on “My Sweet Lord” was issued as a single and reached number 90 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1971, though the album itself did not chart in the US or UK. While commercially overlooked, Encouraging Words has since been praised by some critics as one of Apple’s strongest non-Beatles releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRight Now (Remastered 2010)\u003cbr\u003eLittle Girl (Remastered 2010)\u003cbr\u003eUse What You Got (Remastered 2010)\u003cbr\u003eMy Sweet Lord (Remastered 2010)\u003cbr\u003eLet the Music Play (Remastered 2010)\u003cbr\u003eThe Same Thing Again (Remastered 2010)\u003cbr\u003eI've Got a Feeling (Remastered 2010)\u003cbr\u003eSing One for the Lord (Remastered 2010)\u003cbr\u003eWhen You Are Mine (Remastered 2010)\u003cbr\u003eI Don't Want You to Pretend (Remastered 2010)\u003cbr\u003eEncouraging Words (Remastered 2010)\u003cbr\u003eAll Things (Must) Pass (Remastered 2010)\u003cbr\u003eYou've Been Acting Strange (Remastered 2010)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BMG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46481650221212,"sku":"964192781","price":27.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/1_795f10ac-700b-4ae7-8015-ee68a034b68d.webp?v=1772822474","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/billy-preston-encouraging-words-limited-gold-colour-vinyl","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
