Legendary singer-songwriter Buck Owens, who served as the frontman for the Buckaroos, put out hit after hit during his long career in music. But one of his most romantic songs was his 1964 track “Together Again.”
Owens wrote the song in the early ’60s and put it out as an official single on his album Together Again, which was released in July 1964. Both “Together Again” and the other official single, “My Heart Skips a Beat,” were released a little earlier in the year, and they immediately became popular with music fans.
“My Heart Skips a Beat” became a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in May 1964, and the next month, “Together Again” switched positions with the other single to become a No. 1 hit as well.
Over the years, Owens’ hit song was covered by many different artists, and it became a hit again quite a few times. Ray Charles released a cover in 1966 that did well on multiple Billboard charts, while Emmylou Harris‘ 1975 version hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart.
Then came Kenny Rogers and Dottie West‘s duet in 1983, which peaked at No. 19 on the Hot Country Singles chart. Many other singers made versions of the track as well in the decades since Owens’ hit first came out.

Along with the enduring popularity of “Together Again,” it is also well-known as one of the best love songs in country music. With lyrics like “The key to my heart/ You hold in your hand/ And nothing else matters/ We’re together again,” it’s no wonder people love it so much.
Even over half a century after it was released, critics adore the track, and “Together Again” was ranked No. 41 on Billboard‘s list of the “Top Country Love Songs of All Time.” The publication said, “Buck Owens sings about the kind of reunion that feels like it’s happening in slow motion in ‘Together Again.'”
The song is simple and to the point, and fans can’t help but feel the love Owens wrote about while listening to the song.
