"You've Got" the Touch is a song made famous by the country music band Alabama. Originally released in 1987, the song — a ballad done in the band's signature mellow style — became a No. 1 hit on the Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles chart in April 1987.
The song was Alabama's 21st — and as it turned out, final consecutive — chart-topper in a string that dated from August 1980's "Tennessee River." The follow-up single, the semi-autobiographical "Tar Top," peaked at No. 7 that November, breaking the streak. A new streak would be started in early 1988 with the song "Face to Face."
