| Before he became a pop/rock heavyweight during the late '80s (and an |
| adult contemporary balladeer throughout the following two decades), |
| Richard Marx sang on commercials and performed as a backing vocalist for |
| Lionel Richie, Whitney Houston, and Julio Iglesias. The Chicago native |
| also delved into professional songwriting, penning tunes for Kenny |
| Rogers and the St. Elmo's Fire soundtrack before landing a solo contract |
| with EMI Records. Featuring production from David Cole, who later |
| launched C+C Music Factory, Marx's self-titled debut was released in |
| 1987 and catapulted the artist to the top of the Billboard charts. |
| "Don't Mean Nothing" and "Should've Known Better" were slick, radio- |
| ready singles that emphasized guitar riffs and power chords, but Marx's |
| real strength lay with ballads like "Endless Summer Nights" and "Hold on |
| to the Nights." By the time Repeat Offender arrived in 1989, Marx had |
| already established his presence on the charts; nevertheless, the album |
| helped make him a genuine star, with "Right Here Waiting" marking his |
| third consecutive number one hit in America. Another song, "Angelia," |
| was Marx's record-breaking seventh consecutive single to crack the Top |
| Five. |
| |
| |
| With the release of Rush Street in 1991, Richard Marx's commercial |
| fortunes started to slip as mainstream tastes shifted away from the |
| slick, well-constructed songs that were his forte. Despite the Top Ten |
| hit single "Now and Forever," 1994's Paid Vacation fell from the charts |
| quickly, and Marx entered a period of seclusion, eventually returning in |
| the spring of 1997 with an adult contemporary album titled Flesh & Bone. |
| The following year saw him performing a duet with Donna Lewis on a |
| contribution to the Anastasia soundtrack, and Days in Avalon was quietly |
| issued in fall 2000. While the album fared modestly well in the adult |
| contemporary market, Marx found more success as a producer and |
| songwriter for other artists. He penned the Top Ten hit "This I Promise |
| You" for *NSYNC and co-wrote "Dance with My Father," which won a Grammy, |
| for Luther Vandross; other projects included writing material for 98░, |
| SHeDAISY, and Josh Groban. He then returned to his solo career several |
| years later, issuing My Own Best Enemy in 2004 and Duo, a collaboration |
| with Vertical Horizon's Matt Scannell, in 2008. |
