Here You Come Again Songwriting Credits by Dolly Parton

Here You Come Again is the sixteenth studio album by Dolly Parton, released in October 1977 on RCA Records and produced by Gary Klein. It is the album that completed Parton's pop crossover and made her the most commercially successful country-to-pop artist of the decade, with the title track reaching number three on the Billboard Hot 100 (her highest pop chart position at the time) and number one on the Country chart simultaneously. Parton did not write the title track; 'Here You Come Again' was written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, professional pop songwriters from the Brill Building tradition, and its fully produced pop-country arrangement was categorically different from the acoustic country albums of Parton's early RCA period. The album was deliberate in its crossover strategy: Klein's production, the pop song selection, and the Los Angeles recording environment all signaled a departure from Nashville that was simultaneously commercially successful and critically debated among country purists. Here You Come Again became the first country album to be certified platinum by the RIAA, won Parton the Grammy for Best Female Country Vocal Performance, and reached number twenty on the Billboard Pop Albums chart. The album established Parton as a mainstream pop star in addition to her existing country career, a dual commercial presence she would sustain through the following decade, and remains the commercial and cultural turning point of her recording career.
