Music Is My Life is the seventh studio album by Billy Preston, released in 1972. The album contains Preston's first number 1 single,[2] "Will It Go Round in Circles", and a cover of the Beatles' song "Blackbird". It is also the first of his albums to feature his future A&M Records label-mates the Brothers Johnson. Another track, "God Loves You", was issued on a single as the B-side of "Slaughter", Preston's theme song for the 1972 film of the same name.[3]
