Kenny G – Greatest Hits is the second greatest hits album by saxophonist Kenny G. It was released by Arista Records in 1997, and peaked at number 1 on the Contemporary Jazz Albums chart, number 15 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and number 19 on Billboard 200.[1]

Shortly after the release of 'Greatest Hits', the blockbuster film Titanic was released. Having already produced the hit single of My Heart Will Go On with Celine Dion, Afanasieff returned to the studio with Kenny G to produce an instrumental version of the 'Love Theme from Titanic'.

This recording was released as a single and was bundled with the Greatest Hits as a promotional item. The cover is a photograph from the Greatest Hits booklet with water superimposed over the top. The packaging for the single declared itself to be 'The first instrumental version available of this classic theme for all time'. Since this first release, it has appeared on every Kenny G greatest hits compilation.
