Marx's first number one success as a songwriter came in 1984 with "What About Me?", which was recorded by Kenny Rogers, Kim Carnes, and James Ingram, and topped the US and Canadian Adult Contemporary charts. His second chart-topper was 1985's "Crazy", a song he co-wrote with Rogers which reached number one in the Hot Country Songs chart. Marx's self-titled debut album went triple-platinum in 1987, and his first single, "Don't Mean Nothing", reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[7][8] Between 1987 and 1994, he had 14 top 20 hits, including three number one singles.[9]

Marx is the only male artist in history to have his first seven singles reach the top 5 of the Billboard charts.[7] He has scored a total of 14 number one singles, both as a performer and as a songwriter/producer.[5] As a singer, his No. 1 hits include "Hazard", "Right Here Waiting", "Hold On to the Nights", "Endless Summer Nights", and "Satisfied".[10] According to Billboard, Marx "holds the distinction of having written songs that have hit No. 1 on various Billboard charts in each of the last four decades."[11]

Marx has written or collaborated on songs with other artists, including "This I Promise You" by NSYNC and "Dance with My Father" by Luther Vandross.[12] Marx has been nominated for five Grammy Awards. In 2003, he won the Grammy for Song of the Year for "Dance with My Father".[13]

Early life

[edit]

Marx was born in Chicago, Illinois,[4] the only child of former singer Ruth (née Guildoo) and Dick Marx, a jazz musician and founder of a jingle company in the early 1960s. His father was of German-Jewish descent.[14][15] Marx attended North Shore Country Day School.[16] He has three half-siblings from his father's previous marriage.[17]

Music career

[edit]

Marx began his career in music at age five, singing commercial jingles written by his father's company; his list of advertising hits includes Arm & Hammer, Ken-L Ration[18] and Nestlé Crunch. Marx was 17 and living in Highland Park, Illinois, when a tape of his songs ended up in the hands of Lionel Richie. Richie thought Marx had talent and told the teen, "I can't promise you anything, but you should come to L.A."[19]

Marx said one of the first musicians he met in Los Angeles was Fee Waybill of the Tubes with whom he has collaborated at least 30 times. They met in a recording studio. In that same 2014 video segment for Ameoba Records. Marx called Waybill "my life-long best friend" and said Waybill is also godfather to his children.[20] Waybill went into great detail about their working relationship in a 2020 interview with American Songwriter.[21]

Marx and Vesta Williams provided harmony vocals for the Gordon Lightfoot and David Foster penned Anything for Love, for the former's 1986 release East of Midnight.

Debut album and stardom

Marx's self-titled debut album, released in June 1987, yielded four hit singles and went triple platinum.[7][8] The debut single, "Don't Mean Nothing", is a song about the potential pitfalls of the music business. "Don't Mean Nothing" reached No. 3 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on Billboard's Album Rock chart. Marx became the first new artist played on 117 radio stations nationwide during his initial week on the charts. The next two singles, "Should've Known Better" and "Endless Summer Nights", reached No. 3 and No. 2, respectively.[citation needed] The fourth single released from the album, "Hold On to the Nights", earned Marx his first No. 1 hit.[9] The latter three of the album's singles were also hits on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart, beginning a long string of hits on that chart. Marx embarked on a 14 month world tour, initially opening for REO Speedwagon, but began headlining his own shows.[citation needed]

It went triple platinum within a few months and eventually sold over 5 million copies in the United States alone.

It has been covered numerous times, most notably by Monica and 112 in a 1998 duet. Another single from the album, "Children of the Night", was written and composed in support of a Van Nuys-based organization for runaways. It became the sixth single from Repeat Offender.[citation needed]

Early Life

Family and Childhood

Richard Marx was born Richard Noel Marx on September 16, 1963, in , , the son of Ruth Marx (née Guildoo), a singer known for her work in big-band vocals and commercial jingles, and , a jazz pianist, arranger, and prominent jingle composer who founded his own advertising music company. He had three half-siblings from his father's previous marriage, including sisters Linda (a singer-songwriter) and Judy (a writer and editor). His father's career included creating iconic advertising tunes such as the gum jingle ("Double your pleasure, double your fun") and the slogan ("You've come a long way, baby"), while his mother contributed vocals to many of these spots, including tuna ads and a 1970s TV commercial. Growing up in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park on the North Shore, Marx was immersed in a household centered around music production, with his parents frequently bringing him into recording studios during their work on television and radio advertisements. From an early age, Marx showed a natural affinity for music, beginning to sing professionally at five years old by performing in the commercial jingles composed by his father; notable examples include the Ken-L Ration dog food advertisement, where he provided vocals as a child. By the time he was nine, he had appeared in dozens of national television commercials through his family's advertising connections, gaining early exposure to professional recording environments and the business side of music. This childhood involvement not only honed his vocal skills but also familiarized him with studio techniques, as he often observed and participated in sessions alongside his parents. Marx attended in , a private institution near , where he graduated in 1981 during his senior year at age 17. Although he began writing his first songs as a teenager while at school, the pull of his musical upbringing led him to forgo further formal education after graduation, instead moving to shortly thereafter to pursue a full-time career in the music industry.

Initial Music Involvement

At age 17, Richard Marx's demo tape reached through a mutual connection, prompting Richie to call the high school senior in and encourage him to complete his education before relocating to to pursue music professionally. This early exposure had already sparked his passion for songwriting and performance, setting the stage for his professional entry. Upon moving to in 1981 shortly after graduating, Marx quickly secured session work as a background vocalist, marking his initial foray into the industry. Marx's first major recording opportunity came at 18, when he provided backup vocals on Lionel Richie's hit "All Night Long (All Night)," a track that topped the Hot 100. This collaboration, facilitated by Richie's endorsement, opened doors to further session work, including background vocals on several tracks from Whitney Houston's self-titled debut album in 1985, such as the No. 1 single "Saving All My Love for You." These early vocal contributions not only honed his studio skills but also built key industry relationships during the mid-1980s. Transitioning to songwriting, Marx achieved his breakthrough in 1984 by co-writing "What About Me?" with producer ; the ballad was recorded by featuring and , reaching No. 1 on the chart and peaking at No. 15 on the Hot 100. This success established Marx as a promising tunesmith, leading to additional cuts on Rogers' album of the same name and solidifying his role in Nashville and pop circles before his solo recording career.

Music Career

Breakthrough as Songwriter and Debut Album

After years of building confidence through his early songwriting credits for artists like and , Richard Marx transitioned to a solo career by demoing original material that caught the attention of record executives. In 1986, he signed a solo recording deal with Manhattan Records following an audition with the label's president, marking a pivotal shift from behind-the-scenes work to fronting his own project. Marx's self-titled debut album, Richard Marx, was released on June 15, 1987, by Manhattan Records, an imprint of EMI. Co-produced by Marx and David Cole, with additional production by Humberto Gatica on select tracks, the record blended pop-rock and ballads, showcasing Marx's songwriting and vocal range. The album achieved triple platinum certification in the United States by the RIAA, selling over three million copies domestically and contributing to Marx's cumulative worldwide album sales exceeding 30 million. It peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 chart and spawned four top-three singles on the Billboard Hot 100, including "Don't Mean Nothing" (No. 3), "Should've Known Better" (No. 3), "Endless Summer Nights" (No. 2), and "Hold On to the Nights" (No. 1). To promote the album, Marx embarked on his first major tour from 1987 to 1988, initially serving as the opening act for before headlining his own shows across and internationally. The 14-month outing, which included performances at venues like Poplar Creek Music Theatre, helped solidify his live presence and fanbase amid the era's pop-rock scene.

Peak Success and Hit Singles

Following the momentum from his self-titled debut album, which produced four top-five singles on the , Richard Marx reached the height of his commercial success with his second album, Repeat Offender, released in May 1989. The album debuted at No. 37 on the and later rose to No. 1, where it spent one week, marking Marx's first chart-topping release. It has sold over four million copies in the United States, earning quadruple platinum certification from the RIAA. Repeat Offender generated massive radio and chart success, including two No. 1 hits on the : "Satisfied," which topped the chart for one week in June 1989, and "," which held No. 1 for three weeks starting in 1989. The third single, "," peaked at No. 4 in late 1989, contributing to the album's strong performance across pop and adult contemporary formats. Marx's signature style of heartfelt, piano-driven adult contemporary ballads resonated widely, blending pop-rock elements with emotional lyrics that appealed to a broad audience. Marx sustained his peak into the early 1990s with subsequent releases, including Rush Street (1991) and Paid Vacation (1993). Rush Street featured the narrative-driven single "Hazard," which reached No. 9 on the Hot 100 in 1992 and topped the Adult Contemporary chart for five weeks. "Take This Heart," also from Rush Street, peaked at No. 20 on the Hot 100, while Paid Vacation included "Now and Forever," which hit No. 7 in 1994. By 1994, Marx had accumulated 14 top-20 singles on the Billboard Hot 100, establishing him as a dominant force in pop and adult contemporary music. During this era, Marx undertook extensive international tours, including the Repeat Offender World Tour in 1989-1990, which spanned , , and , and helped solidify his status as a global pop-rock artist through high-energy live performances of his hits. Subsequent tours supporting Rush Street and Paid Vacation further expanded his fanbase, with sold-out shows emphasizing his ballad-heavy setlists and vocal prowess.

Mid-Career Transitions

Following the release of his 1997 album Flesh & Bone on , which peaked at No. 70 on the chart and achieved certification from the RIAA for sales exceeding 500,000 units in the United States, Richard Marx parted ways with the label amid a noticeable decline in his solo commercial momentum compared to his late-1980s and early-1990s successes. In the early 2000s, Marx shifted toward independent ventures, founding his own imprint Signal 21 Records to release his sixth studio album, Days in Avalon, in 2000, marking his first self-financed project after leaving major-label support. During this period, compilations such as the two-disc set pairing his debut album with Rush Street and Timeline—a collection of hits and rarities—were issued by Capitol in 2000, reflecting efforts to capitalize on his catalog while he explored new paths. The early 2000s also saw Marx prioritize family life with his wife, actress , and their three young sons, leading to reduced touring and a deliberate slowdown in solo output after the birth of his third child in 2001. This personal focus aligned with broader industry shifts following the explosion of the mid-1990s, which diminished demand for his adult contemporary style and prompted a pivot toward behind-the-scenes songwriting and production roles to sustain his career. By 2004, he returned to a major label with (an imprint) for My Own Best Enemy, which charted at No. 126 on the , underscoring the transitional challenges of adapting to evolving market dynamics.

This independent effort marked his shift toward more personal, stripped-down presentations, available initially at his acoustic concerts before wider distribution. In 2014, Marx followed with Beautiful Goodbye, his eleventh studio album, produced in collaboration with Walter Afanasieff and featuring introspective pop-rock tracks like the title song, emphasizing themes of closure and reflection. The album showcased his continued evolution as a self-reliant artist, blending adult contemporary elements with live instrumentation. Marx's twelfth studio album, Limitless, arrived in February 2020 via BMG, highlighting his songwriting with family members, including co-writes with his sons.

Accompanying this output, Marx published his autobiography Stories to Tell in 2021 through Simon & Schuster, chronicling his career and collaborations in a candid narrative.
