Touch the Hand
"Touch the Hand" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music singer Conway Twitty. It was released in August 1975 as the first single from the album The [High Priest of Country Music]. A ballad that became one of his 41 Billboard No. 1 songs, the song represented one half of a double-sided hit for Twitty in 1975. The other side was "Don't Cry Joni".
Initially, Twitty claimed to have written "Touch the Hand", but after Ron Peterson filed a copyright infringement suit against the singer in Nashville on September 23, 1975, Peterson was properly credited.
