Encouraging Words is the fifth studio album by Billy Preston, released in 1970. Preston worked closely with George Harrison on the album, who contributed guitar, co-produced, co-wrote a song with Preston, and contributed two of his own songs which were yet to be released, as All Things Must Pass was released ten months later.
It retained the all-star personnel of 1969's "That's The Way God Planned It", featuring Eric Clapton as well as Harrison on guitar, Keith Richards on bass and Ginger Baker on drums. The album is typical of Preston's blend of soul and rock, highlighted by his powerful voice and virtuoso organ and piano playing. Although Encouraging Words did not become a commercial success, it is considered one of Billy Preston's best by fans.
