The Best - Tina Turner - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Few love songs from the 1980s have resonated as powerfully as Tina Turner’s “The Best.” Since its release, the song has been used in countless films and television shows to illustrate romantic devotion. “The Best” was written by Holly Knight and Mike Chapman and was first recorded in 1988 by Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler for her seventh studio album Hide Your Heart. A year later, Tina Turner approached co-songwriter Holly Knight and requested the addition of a bridge as well as a key change. She recorded the song with producer Dan Hartman, and it was released in 1989 as the lead single for her seventh studio album Foreign Affair. This recording includes a saxophone solo played by Edgar Winter. Tina Turner’s version of “The Best” quickly eclipsed the original’s chart performance, reaching Number 15 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and becoming an international hit. “The Best” also went on to become one of Tina Turner’s signature songs.
