Richard Marx, you sing this song not only as a singer, but you also tell the audience about the love story as the lyrics and title of the song. You sing it from the bottom of your heart. It is indeed very wonderful to make the audience feel as if this song is your love story.
I was at this show! I grew up listening to Richard Marx because of my brothers and they treated me to tickets and flights from Norway for my birthday that year, and it was such an amazing experience. Nostalgic and beautiful to be there with one of my brothers and see my childhood hero ☺️
This is a great example of the difference between a songwriter and a singer. A singer can sing songs written by others and it takes quite a lot of work for them to sing them from the heart. Sitting there in a very personal and intimate setting opening his heart and expressing a deep and powerful message because this song like all the others are a personal expression of events in his life. Singers sing and songwriters express their soul through their lyrics and music. Thank you Richard!
Wow! I was listening to the original with David Foster & Olivia Newton-John, and it led me here. I have always been a HUGE fan of Richard Marx. In had no idea he covered this though. He emotes beautifully. I was fortunate enough to see him 2x. Most recently, 2 yrs ago. Still such a great voice. It was fantastic.
Excellence At It's Best Mr. Marx! I'm an R&B guy, I'm talkin' acts like Marvin, Stevie, Prince, Michael, etc.,...but I've always been a huge fan of you and your music as well, b/c you are such an amazing song writer, vocalist, and performer, and b/c you have so much soul brotha'! 🙂 Btw, Mark, to show ya' that your music is truly timeless, my 15 year old daughter loves your stuff as well! Keep the hits 'a comin' my man! Peace 😎
Love this cliff Richard's 100th single didnt know until recently that richard wrote this and sung it himself I remember richard from right here waiting . .I've the greatest hits cd from 1997 ..
I first heard this song performed by Barry Manilow and loved it. Was thrilled, but not surprised to find out my favorite artist of all time actually wrote it. Finally hearing Richard sing his own version of this song is an indescribable treat. You're the best, Richard.
Bring tears to my eyes..I can feel the pain from the way you sing it..thank God for giving us such talented man..Richard Marx...I love you then,I love you even more now...
hermoso....very beautiful song with lots of feeling....when one is in love, you end up always giving the best of yourself but in return you recieve less...
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. 🙂
@@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 UA-cam. 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.
Wala akong masabe dito ... taena simula nung nalaman ko to sinabayan pa ng hiwalayan punyeeta talaga para kasi sakin pinakita ko ung the best of me pero sinira nya ... huhuhuhu #moveonnalngakotalaga
pwede pa nman ksi ayusin ayaw mo lang.. oo naintindihan ko lahat ung best na binigay mo ksi kung tlgang mahal mo isang tao hindi ka bibitaw kahit ano mang pagsubok ang dumating kayang pag usapan at ayusin.. pero kung ikaw na mismo ang unaayaw na tlga wala nako magagawa... #moveonnatlga..
There's something in his voice that makes you want to cry. Just a masterpiece.
Never get bored listening
Richard Marx, you sing this song not only as a singer, but you also tell the audience about the love story as the lyrics and title of the song. You sing it from the bottom of your heart. It is indeed very wonderful to make the audience feel as if this song is your love story.
When lyrics and melody match perfectly

THEY WROTE TOGETHER RICHARD MARX AND DAVID FOSTER FOR THIS SONG..!!
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
