Background and content

Greatest Hits on Monument was a compilation of music Seely recorded while she was at Monument for three years. These recordings were among the first during her music career. It was at Monument where Seely had her first major hit, 1966's "Don't Touch Me". The song is the album's opening track and was written by Hank Cochran.[1] Cochran wrote 11 additional tracks that are featured on the record. Included among these compositions is the track, "You Changed Everything About Me But My Name". This track was composed with Cochran and Seely.[3] Six of the Cochran-penned songs were released as singles following the success of the "Don't Touch Me". The tracks, "It's Only Love" and "A Wanderin' Man", were top 20 hits on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart. The album's third track, "I'll Love You More (Than You'll Need)", was a top ten hit on the same chart.[1]
