On May 27 1989, Cliff Richard released his one hundredth single, ‘The Best Of Me’, which became his 26th Top 3 UK hit. Cliff Richard selected the song for his milestone 100th single in 1989. It was certified silver by the BPI for sales over 200,000. Before releasing his 100th single, Richard invited 2,000 British fans to the London Palladium for a preview of six songs from his forthcoming album (which would be Stronger), to vote on which one they liked most as the possible 100th single. Ironically, “The Best of Me” came second to “Stronger Than That“. “The Best of Me” was composed in 1982 by Foster, Jeremy Lubbock and Richard Marx
