Greatest Hits on Monument is a compilation album by American country artist, Connie Smith. The album was released March 9, 1993, on Sony Music Entertainment and was produced by Ray Baker. The album was collection Smith's singles and other tracks recorded during her three years at Monument Records (1977–1979).
Greatest Hits on Monument contained fourteen tracks of material Smith had recorded under Monument Records. The album contained Smith's seven singles released under the label. The album's biggest hit single was Smith's cover version of Andy Gibb's Pop hit, "I Just Want to Be Your Everything," which reached #14 on the Billboard Country Chart in 1978, which Allmusic critic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine called, "relatively faithful" to the original version. The album's material was a departure from any of Smith's previous recordings for RCA Records or Columbia Records in the 1960s and 1970s. During her years at Monument, Smith largely recorded Country pop material that also mixed with Adult Contemporary and Disco. Erlewine called the album's production, "soothing and mellow," despite he wasn't largely pleased with the album.[1] The album's other singles from her years at Monument included the #34 hit, "Lovin' You Baby" and her first single for the label, "Coming Around." The additional singles ("They'll Never Be Another for Me," "Smooth Sailin'," "Ten Thousand and One," and "Don't Say Love") reached lower positions on the Billboard Country Chart.[2]
