Bonnie Tyler – The Best (1988)
Directed by: Unknown
The Best is a powerful pop-rock anthem by Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler, released on January 18, 1988, as the lead single from her seventh studio album, Hide Your Heart. Written by Mike Chapman and Holly Knight, and produced by Desmond Child, the song showcases Tyler’s distinctive raspy vocals and emotive delivery. The accompanying music video features Tyler and her band performing on a soundstage, intercut with scenes of people interacting on a staircase, reflecting the song’s themes of admiration and longing. While the single achieved moderate success in Europe, peaking at number 10 in Norway and number 25 in Finland, it only reached number 95 on the UK Singles Chart. Despite its initial performance, “The Best” gained greater recognition when Tina Turner covered it in 1989, turning it into an international hit.
