“Save The Best For Last”  is a 1992 single written by Phil Galdston, Wendy Waldman and Jon Lind in March 1989.  It is considered Vanessa Williams’ signature song.  The lyrics’ redemptive themes resonated with Williams’ story, as she had put together a successful recording career following her earlier Miss America resignation scandal.  “Save The Best For Last” was not written specifically for Vanessa Williams.  There were a number of other singers who were offered the song; they all turned it down.  While recording her album The Comfort Zone, at the last minute, a song had to be replaced.  Vanessa was played “Save The Best For Last”, and Vanessa said:  “I can’t believe nobody wants this song.  I have to have this song.”  (More from Wikipedia)
