Who originally sang Tina Turner's hit song "The Best"?

Bonnie Tyler was the first to sing "The Best" in 1988, releasing it as the lead single from her "Hide Your Heart" album. Tyler's version peaked at number 95 in the UK charts for exactly one week, and a power ballad like this deserved more recognition. Then Tina Turner heard it, loved it, but wanted to see some changes. She demanded a bridge section and a key change for the big finish, forcing the writers to completely rework a song that had already been released. But Turner's instincts were dead on because her version shot straight to number five and became one of those songs that gets stuck in your head for weeks. Tyler took the news of Turner's massive success with remarkable grace, admitting that Turner "did it much better than I did," which is probably the classiest way possible to watch someone else turn your single into a worldwide anthem.
