To Tony Brown & Jimmy Bowen - Thanks for your superior expertise! With teachers like the two of you, how can an artist go wrong!

I'd like to thank my band for doing the two new songs with me. I think y'all did a marvelous job, as you always do.

Thanks to my crew for helping them with their pre-production. Y'all are the hardest working bunch I've ever known.

Thanks Linda, for doing the duet with me. And for making me work harder, just to keep up with you. You know I'm your biggest fan!

Speaking of fans, a big ole thanks to all of you who heard these "greatest hits" a long time ago and stayed with me throughout the years. And to the new fans that I hope will join us.

Thanks Narvel and Shelby for making my work so much fun. Shelby, you make Mama really, really proud! Narvel, you're a great husband, daddy and manager. Thanks for being my buddy.

Speaking of buddies ... Sandi, thanks for taking such great care of me. It would be pretty scary for the world to see me before you work your magic!

To all of Starstruck - You're a great team I love each of you.

Speaking of a great team ... Thanks MCA - you're the best.

Thanks also to Rob Reiner and Burt Reynolds for letting me take a break from my music and take a lot of training from you, the experts at the movies. I had a blast!

This is my second Greatest Hits. For that I say, "Thank You Lord". "And I continue to give you complete control over my life. I think you're doing a pretty cool job!. You're definitely my "Entertainer for life"!
