Jennifer Rush is a compilation album released by American singer–songwriter Jennifer Rush in 1986. It was released in selected countries in lieu of her first two studio albums Jennifer Rush and Movin'. The compilation reached the top 10 of the Canadian albums chart.

Background

The album was released in certain countries in 1986, and served as her debut album on those territories. It contains a mixture of songs from Jennifer's first two albums Jennifer Rush and Movin' released in 1984 and 1985 respectively.

Singles

"The Power of Love" was the primary single released to promote the compilation. In the United States and Canada, the 7-inch single included a short version of the song with "I See a Shadow (Not a Fantasy)" on the b-side.[1] While the song became a number 1 hit in Canada, it only reached number 57 in the United States.

In Ecuador, the Spanish-language version "Si Tu Eres Mi Hombre Y Yo Tu Mujer" was released as a single with the English-language version on the b-side.[2]

"Destiny" was released as the second single in Canada, with "Hero of a Fool" on the b-side.[3]
