The song, best known as the "B" side to Owens' No. 1 hit, "My Heart Skips a Beat", interrupted that song's run at Number One on the U.S. country charts. Steel guitaristTom Brumley's performance on "Together Again" is considered "one of the finest steel guitar solos in the history of country music" by the Country Music Television staff; it inspired Jerry Garcia to learn the instrument.
Brendan O'Brien And The Dixies' recording of the song spent thirteen weeks in the Irish Singles Charts from January to April 1966, peaking at number 4 on 14 February, appropriately.
Country music singer Emmylou Harris recorded the song for her 1975 album Elite Hotel; her version also ascended to the top of the BillboardHot Country Singles chart in April 1976, with the flip side, Harris' version of The Beatles' "Here, There and Everywhere" being a minor pop hit as well. In 1979, Owens and Harris dueted on a song called "Play Together Again, Again," which paid tribute to the song both artists recorded and made famous.
In 1983, Kenny Rogers and Dottie West released a duet version of the song (it originally was recorded for their 1979 Classics album, but was released on Rogers' Duets album in 1983), that reached No. 19 on the Hot Country Singles chart.
Louise Mandrell recorded a version of the song for her 2019 album, Playing Favorites.
Ronnie Dunn recorded a version of the song for his 2020 album of covers, Re-Dunn.
