Clifford T Ward`s `The Best is Yet to Come` (Cover: Peter Daltrey)

CTW was one of England`s finest singer songwriters. His life was tragically cut short by MS. But his music lives on for those of us who love his songs and will keep his name alive for new listeners to discover.

`The best is yet to come` is among CTW`s greatest songs. Recognised by the high profile artist that have covered it: Justin Hayward and Judy Collins to name just two. But those listed did not stray from Clifford`s very moving arrangement. But I wanted to approach it differently. My own arrangement will not please many of those who only want to hear a note for note reproduction on the original recording. But I like to go my own way...

I was fortunate to meet Clifford at one of the annual conventions and to read my appreciation of his work. Sadly he was already very ill but we did get to talk. A much cherished memory for me of a gentle man who poured out his heart in that distinctive yearning voice in so many beautiful songs.
