Richard Marx - The Best of Me (Live in London) 

Never get bored listening

He wrote this song.

@@jaannaqvi8660, yes I googled it

He is one of the composers. The other one is David Foster

@@gluckystrong3336 ...and the other one is Jeremy Lubbock.

I absolutely agree with you and it's unbelievable that he wrote this song when he was just nineteen. ✌🙏🦢

Very talented guy

Exactly...well said!

Uh, he was a co-writer.

​@@alcraig1yep. He can do both

You've sad it all!👍😇✌🙏🦢

Composer .. DAVID FOSTER = GENIUS 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🥰🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺

What year was that?

When he sang the song or when the song was actually released? I know the song came out in the 80s

Gypsydragongal, I had to do some research, but the song was written in 1982 by David Foster, Jeremy Lubbock, and yes, Mr. Richard Marx as well. It was released on an album from David Foster titled, "Best Of Me" in Nov., 1983, and in that version of the song David sang it solo. Then it was released again on David Foster's self titled album, "David Foster," in 1986, as a duet, with Olivia Newton John, and it is that version that most people have come to know, because it was a hit song, and reached #6 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary Charts! Hope that answers your question. 🙂

It was released as cliff richard a 100th single in 1989 .That's were j know it from. .

Kabog

Right

I thought he must've cowrote this song with David Foster.

@@lamarravery4094 Yes, all three wrote the song. Richard Marx was only 19 at the time that he wrote it, so that would have been in 1982 or 1983. David Foster and the recently-departed Olivia Newton-John had a huge hit with this song in 1986 as a duet and the video is on RU-vid. That is the version most familiar to many. Cliff Richard had a hit with it in the United Kingdom first. Many have covered the song. The old stuff is the best stuff when it comes to music, and this is a classic 1980s ballad that blows over most of the current hits.

@@jasonburger3533 Yeah, I remember the Foster and Newton John version, but it wasn't a huge hit. I don't recall it even being a top 40 song. But I liked it back in the day. Seen the video on VH1 back in the day. I was a big David Foster fan, so I know all that and I know Marx wrote a few songs for other artists before he became a solo artist in 1987. I just didn't know he cowrote this song.

@@lamarravery4094 According to Wikiwand, the first version of "The Best of Me" was sung by David Foster as a solo and released in November 1983 on his debut album of the same name. The re-recording as a duet in 1986 with Olivia Newton-John made it to #6 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart and #80 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. So, it did pretty well as a duet. As I recall, it had received extensive radio airplay. Wikiwand is a new part of Wikipedia. The 1989 Cliff Richard version went to #2 on the UK chart and stayed there for 7 weeks. Several others have recorded it since. Michael Buble, Kenny Rogers, and Barry Manilow have been among those who have covered the song. David Foster had originally recorded "The Best Of Me" as a solo version in November 1983 and that was the title of his debut album of which that was a part. By 1985, he had become more famous because of "St. Elmo's Fire" and its soundtrack, both the instrumental version with the saxophone at the end and the lyrical duet that many are not aware had been released as well. Personally, they both were excellent and his later movie soundtracks, such as "The Bodyguard" in 1992, hit musical gold as well.

@@jasonburger3533 Thanks for all that, I didn't know Foster had a debut album in 1983. I have his 1985 one and thought that was his debut. I became a Foster fan when I was following Chicago's early 80s success and found out that he was the mastermind behind that and his fingerprints were all over pop music in the 80s.

I read David foster recorded the original version. Cliff Richard has the best version.

David Foster and Richard Marx wrote the song, the first person singing this song was Cliff in 89.
