The Very Best of Macy Gray is the first greatest hits album (fourth overall) by American R&B-soul singer Macy Gray, released in 2004 by Epic Records. It contains eight hit singles from Gray's first three albums plus two brand-new tracks (the single &Love Is Gonna Get You& and a cover of Aerosmith's 1975 song &Walk This Way&), three remixes, three album tracks, and the track &Demons&, a collaboration with Fatboy Slim from his 2000 album Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars which had previously not been included on any of her albums. The album failed to attract much attention but nevertheless became another UK top forty album for Gray and charted moderately in other countries of Europe.
On December 1, 2008, the album was re-released in the United Kingdom including &Winter Wonderland& (which first appeared as a B-side to the &Sexual Revolution& single), featured in the Marks & Spencer Christmas ads. Due to digital downloads the track reached number seventy-six on the UK Singles Chart the week ending December 27, 2008.
