美國鄉村樂女王［蕾芭麥肯泰］早期單曲──鄉村流行曲──［Theres Nothing Like the Love (Between a Woman and a Man)／ 沒有什麼能比得上(男人和女人之間的)愛情］

… Some folks say that a mothers love is sweeter than the rest
When her babys nestled in her arms and feeding at her breast
But I cant explain the feeling when you reach and touch my hand
Because there nothing like the love between and woman and a man

… Its a miracle from heaven
That it fills me through and through
Like a feeling that surrounds us
Touching me touching you
When you wrap your love around me its not hard to understand
Why theres nothing like the love between and woman and a man

… Well the fathers love is quiet
But its there for all to see
When a little boy is laughing bouncing on his daddys knee
Then those great big hands reach down to tuck his little cowboy in
But theres nothing like the love between a woman and a man

… Its a miracle from heaven
That it fills me through and through
Like a feeling that surrounds us
Touching me touching you
When you wrap your love around me its not hard to understand
Why theres nothing like the love between and woman and a man

… Its a miracle from heaven
That it fills me through and through
Like a feeling that surrounds us
Touching me touching you
When you wrap your love around me its not hard to understand
Why theres nothing like the love between and woman and a man

… Its a miracle from heaven
That it fills me through and through
Like a feeling that surrounds us
Touching me touching you
When you wrap your love around me its not hard to understand
Why theres nothing like the love between and woman and a man

… Its a miracle from heaven
That it fills me through and through
Like a feeling that surrounds us
Touching me touching you
When you wrap your love around me its not hard to understand
Why theres nothing like the love between and woman and a man

１９７５年１１月，PolyGram/Mercury唱片公司與蕾芭簽訂鄉村音樂合約。

１９７６年４月，蕾芭推出首支單曲［I Don’t Want to Be a One Night Stand／我不想成為一夜情人］，登上Billboard鄉村歌曲榜＃８８．

１９７７年１月，麥肯泰發行第二單曲［Theres Nothing Like the Love (Between a Woman and a Man)／ 沒有什麼能比得上(男人和女人之間的)愛情］

由Bill Rice創作， Jerry Kennedy製作成一首鄉村流行曲，編曲精彩，精神昂揚，

和聲精彩，有如騎兵奔馳般的氣勢．

不過［Theres Nothing Like the Love (Between a Woman and a Man)］只登上Billboard鄉村歌曲榜＃８６．

１９７７年８月，蕾芭發行首張同名大碟［Reba McEntire ］，收錄前兩首單曲．

大碟由 Jerry Kennedy, Glenn Keener製作, 走傳統鄉村樂路線

樂評良好

可是並未打入鄉村專輯榜或流行榜．

這些單曲和專輯都沒有為麥肯泰帶來版稅收入——她的預付款和唱片公司的製作費用都高於銷售收入。

１９８８年，在麥肯泰離開 Mercury 多年後，她終於從這張專輯中獲得第一筆版稅。
