For My Broken Heart was the first album recorded after an airplane crash which killed most of the members of Reba McEntire's touring band. The album is, as McEntire states in the album's notes, "a form of healing for all our broken hearts" and the songs were chosen to that effect. Four Billboard hits emerged from the album: "For My Broken Heart" at #1; "Is There Life Out There" also at #1; a remake of "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia," made famous by Vicki Lawrence, at #12; and "The Greatest Man I Never Knew" at #3. The album itself also rose to #3 on the country albums chart. In 2006, the album was ranked #30 in CMT's 40 Greatest Albums in Country Music.
