The Best of Barbara Mandrell is a compilation album by American country music singer, Barbara Mandrell, released in January 1979.
The Best of Barbara Mandrell covered most of Mandrell's biggest hits from the mid- to late 1970s. It includes the #1 "Sleeping Single In a Double Bed" and other Top 10s, including "Tonight", "Standing Room Only" and "Woman to Woman". The compilation album also includes other charted songs from the era, including "Hold Me" and "Love Is Thin Ice", as well as an album track that earned a Grammy nomination, "After the Lovin'". The album was released by her record company at the time, MCA, which acquired Mandrell after buying the ABC label earlier that same year.
This album was one of Mandrell's biggest-selling albums to date, becoming only one of two Barbara Mandrell albums to have an RIAA certification. The album was certified "gold" shortly after its release in 1979.
