"'Above and Beyond'", also known as "Above and Beyond (The Call of Love)", is a song written by Harlan Howard and first recorded by American country music singer Wynn Stewart. Stewart's 1959 single release on the Jackpot label did not chart. In 1960, Buck Owens released his own rendition on Capitol Records with "'Til These Dreams Come True" on the B-side, reaching No. 3 on the 'Billboard' country singles charts that year.
In 1989, Rodney Crowell recorded a cover version on his album 'Diamonds & Dirt'. This cover, released with "She Loves the Jerk" on the B-side, charted at No. 1 on the country chart in late 1989. It was the fifth consecutive No. 1 hit from the album, as well as the fifth and final No. 1 of his career.Whitburn, p. 109
In 2017, the song was covered by Rhonda Vincent and Daryle Singletary for their duets album 'American Grandstand'.
