'''''Greatest Hits''''' is a collection of ten previously recorded songs by [[Ray Stevens]], released in [[1991 in music|1991]] by [[Curb Records]]. Although this collection concentrates mostly on Stevens' hits for the label of [[Barnaby Records]], it also contains three songs that were recorded for [[Monument Records]] and two for [[MCA Records]]. Of all the ten songs on the collection, only the last three selections were novelty songs, while the rest were his "serious" material. Additionally, one selection of the ten songs served as a B-side to a single but never charted on its own, the controversial "Isn't It Lonely Together." Inside the album cover are liner notes on Stevens' life and career from his early life in Georgia until his career with [[MCA Records]]. |
