"Here You Come Again" was a 1977 single by Dolly Parton, which topped the U.S. country singles chart; it also reached number three on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, representing Parton's first significant pop crossover hit. The song, a mid-tempo pop/country number, was a rare example of a Parton hit that she did not write herself (it was composed by the songwriting team of Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil). It was the title song of Parton's 1977 album "Here You Come Again", and was the centerpiece of Parton's now famous pop crossover move in the late 1970s.

The recording earned Parton the award for best female country vocal at the Grammy Awards of 1979. [ [http://www.grammy.com/GRAMMY_Awards/Winners/Results.aspx?title=&winner=Dolly+Parton&year=0&genreID=0&hp=1 Grammy Awards 1979] , Grammy Awards.]

Millie Jackson covered the song on her 1978 album "Get It Out'cha System".

Kikki Danielsson covered the song on her 1981 album "Just Like a Woman", with lyrics written by herself in Swedish as "Här är jag igen" (translated: "Here I am again"). It remains one of the few times the singer Kikki Danielsson was self involved in songwriting.

In 2006 Clay Aiken covered this song on his album "A Thousand Different Ways".

Jade Valerie of the band Sweetbox covered this song for her album Sweetbox Meets Avex which is extremely rare. The song was to be placed on her album, Jade.

In the 2007 season of American Idol, contestant Carly Smithson performed a slowed-down version of the song to which Dolly commended that Carly's voice was the one that the song was written for. A full-length studio version is available for download.
