The album's phenomenal success proved to be a turning point in McEntire's career. It was the singer's first platinum record, and solidified her new superstardom when she was named the 'Entertainer of the Year' by the Country Music Association in autumn 1986.
The album also marked another milestone, McEntire made her first music video for the title track.[2] Eventually, McEntire would become known for her 'mini-movie'-styled music videos.
"I've Seen Better Days" was originally recorded as a duet by George Jones & Tammy Wynette on their 1976 album, Golden Ring.
