I Wrote a Simple Song is the sixth studio album by Billy Preston. Released in 1971, this was his first for A&M Records.
This album continued Preston's inclusion of gospel-themed songs which had started with the 1967 album Club Meeting. Preston's friend George Harrison supplied dobro accompaniment on the title track.
The instrumental "Outa-Space" won a Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance in 1973. It was also one of the clarion calls for the coming importance of the Hohner Clavinet in popular music.
All songs by Billy Preston and Joe Greene, except where noted.
