Holly Knight & Mike Chapman were familiar songwriters for Tina Turner, see: Better Be Good To Me. Although The Best fits Tina like a glove, she was not the first to try it on. Her white counterpart Bonnie Tyler, gifted with similar river deep/mountain high-pipes, predated Tina's version with a year.
