That's All It Took

About That's All It Took

"That's All It Took" is a song written by George Jones, Darrell Edwards, and Carlos Grier and originally recorded by Jones as a duet with Gene Pitney on Musicor Records. Jones and Pitney had scored a Top 20 hit in 1965 with "I've Got Five Dollars and It's Saturday Night" and also recorded two LPs together. However, "That's All It Took" was not a hit, only making it to #47 on the Billboard country singles chart. Although a rather obscure song, country-rock pioneer Gram Parsons recorded the song as a duet with Emmylou Harris on his debut solo album GP in 1973. A live version by Parsons and his band the Fallen Angels also appears on the 1982 release Live 1973. more »

That's all it took
The mention of your name
And all my love for you burst into flames
I tried so hard
To let you got but look 
How I still tremble at your name
That's all it took

That's all it took
To make me know that I still care
It seems my heart just can't give up
The dreams we used to share
I tell my friends I'm happy
But they read me like a book
And when today I heard them say your name
That's all it took

That's all it took
To make me yearn for your embrace
I guess I might as well admit
No one can take your place
I fell for you completely
Sinker, line and hook
And when today I heard them say your name
That's all it took
And when today I heard them say your name
That's all it took

Gram Parsons

Gram Parsons (November 5, 1946 – September 19, 1973) was an American singer, songwriter, guitarist and pianist. Parsons is best known for his work within the country genre; he also mixed blues, folk, and rock to create what he called "Cosmic American Music". Besides recording as a solo artist, he also worked in several notable bands, including the International Submarine Band, The Byrds, and The Flying Burrito Brothers. His career, though short, is described by Allmusic as "enormously influential" for both country and rock, "blending the two genres to the point that they became indistinguishable from each other." more »
