Composition and recordingEdit
The song was composed by Mann and Weil, and it was a rare example of a Parton hit that she did not write herself. The songwriting duo originally composed “Here You Come Again” in 1975 as a potential comeback hit for Brenda Lee, but when Lee decided not to record it, the song made its way to Parton, who was looking for something to broaden her appeal. Her producer, Gary Klein, who had heard the song on B.J. Thomas‘s recently released self-titled album,[1] reported that Parton had begged him to add a steel guitar to avoid sounding too pop, and he called in Al Perkins to fill that role. “She wanted people to be able to hear the steel guitar, so if someone said it isn’t country, she could say it and prove it,” Klein told journalist Tom Roland. “She was so relieved. It was like her life sentence was reprieved.”[2]
The song modulates keys four times. The first two verses are set in G♭ major, followed by A major for the first bridge, G major for the third verse, B♭major for the second bridge, and finally A♭ majorfor the last verse and outro. The song moves at a swinging tempo of 106 beats per minute in common time, with Parton’s vocals ranging from G♭3 to D5.[3][4]
Critical receptionEdit
“Here You Come Again” was the centerpiece of Parton’s pop crossover in the late 1970s. The single spent five weeks at the top of the U.S Billboardcountry charts[1] and reached number three on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. It earned Parton the award for “Best Female Country Vocal Performance” at the Grammy Awards.[5] The song has sold 271,000 digital copies in the United States as of February 2019 since becoming available for digital download.[6]

“Woody Wednesday” ECCLESIASTES AND WOODY ALLEN’S FILMS: SOLOMON “WOULD GOT ALONG WELL WITH WOODY!” (Part 7 MIDNIGHT IN PARIS Part F, SURREALISTS AND THE IDEA OF ABSURDITY AND CHANCE)
Woody Allen believes that we live in a cold, violent and meaningless universe and it seems that his main character (Gil Pender, played by Owen Wilson) in the movie MIDNIGHT IN PARIS shares that view. Pender’s meeting with the Surrealists is by far the best scene in the movie because they are ones who can […]

In MIDNIGHT IN PARIS Gil Pender ponders the advice he gets from his literary heroes from the 1920’s.

In the 1920’s T.S.Eliot and his house guest Bertrand Russell were two of […]

Ernest Hemingway and Scott Fitzgerald left the prohibitionist America for wet Paris in the 1920’s and they both drank a lot. WINE, WOMEN AND SONG was their motto and I am afraid ultimately wine got the best of Fitzgerald and shortened his career. Woody Allen pictures this culture in the first few clips in the […]
