Ray Conniff's Greatest Hits 's Wonderful Invisible Tears Smoke Gets In Your Eyes This Is My Song Cabaret Somewhere My Love Besame Mucho Mame On The Street Where You Live Happiness Is Memories Are Made Of This This album is a compilation of Ray's greatest hits and contains a new stereo recording of "'S Wonderful." This album was reissued on CD in Europe and Brazil with bonus tracks. Original LP liner notes: Eventually, every great artist releases a Greatest Hits album. With Ray Conniff, however, that's not easy. The question is: Which Greatest Hits? Ray's list of Greatest Hits is nearly as long as the list of songs he has recorded. Since it is not possible to include several hundred songs in one album, the task of repertory selection for "Ray Conniff's Greatest Hits" was nearly insurmountable.
