Touch Your Woman (song)

"Touch Your Woman" is a song written and originally recorded by Dolly Parton. The title track of Parton's 1972 album Touch Your Woman, it provided a 1972 top-ten country single for her. The lyrics speak of a disagreement between lovers, but concludes with the line "all you have to do to make it right is just touch your woman". A tranquil, slow-tempo ballad, the song differed from many of Parton's other hits at the time, in that it was neither an upbeat, lilting country number, nor a nostalgic reminiscence of her rural childhood. "Touch Your Woman" reached number 6 on the U.S. country singles charts in March 1972, though a number of country radio stations refused to play it because they found it too sexually suggestive. [1]

The song was covered in late 1972 by R&B artist Margie Joseph, and in 2002 by folk singer Kate Campbell.
