    Richard had no intention of recording the song (which he deemed too personal) and offered it to Barbra Streisand. Although she liked the melody, she couldn't identify with he lyrics. She said (quote) "I’m not gonna be right here waiting for anyone". She asked Richard to rewrite the lyrics but he refused. The rest is history, the song reached number one in the US (and stayed there for three weeks) and 8 other countries. It went platinum and became a classic.

    Shortly after we got married, I was shipped out for Desert Storm. In my first package from home that finally reached me, she had made me a mix tape and this was the first song. I cried my eyes out. We held out the long distance a military separation so we are going into our 32 anniversary this June and I still hold her every day.

    Richard Marx (yes, that is his real name) owned the airwaves in the late 80s and early 90s. His first SEVEN singles all hit the Top 5, including three #1s. This was one of them. Some of his other big airplay hits were "Hold On to the Nights", "Endless Summer Nights", "Satisfied", "Don't Mean Nothing", "Should've Known Better", and "Angelia". "Hazard" is another great one, and tells a great story. He also collaborated with the legendary Luther Vandross on "Dance With My Father", for which he won a Grammy. Believe it or not, he also duetted with Heart in 2013 on the song "All Through the Night". Thanks for reacting! Love everything 80s!

    Richard, at the time was in a very serious relationship with “actress/singer/dancer” Cynthia Rhodes (she was in the Toto Rosanna video as well as Staying Alive with John Travolta and Dirty Dancing with Swayze along with many other movies). Cynthia was doing a film in Africa while Richard was in L.A. He wrote her this song and sent it to her. It was nothing more than a personal love song from him to her. She played it cried with joy and played it for her girlfriend. Upon coming home it got around & many suggested that Richard put it on a record. He constantly said “NO” it was nothing more than just a love song for her. Well, he said “fine” thinking nothing would come of it and evidently it did. It went to #1 on the “Hot 100 billboard chart”.

    Not only is he a great singer, he's an amazing songwriter. He's written for so many people, it would take me quite awhile to list them all. If you listen to Lionel Ritchie's song "You Are", you will hear him singing backup which was one of his first things he did. He wrote this song "Right Here Waiting" for his then wife Cynthia Rhodes (Dirty Dancing, Staying Alive). He's got so many great songs to choose from, you will enjoy discovering all those gems. I've always been a fan from his first hit "Don't Mean Nothing" until today. Enjoy the ride!

    “Now and Forever” He’s a hit maker for sure, but these should be the next 4 songs from him. In any order. All fantastically written songs. And if you’re looking for a B-Side my absolute fav is called “Until I Find You Again”. That is such a beautiful song. Richard Marx is THE guy that can not only write one hell of a love song but can sing the hell out of it too. Btw he wrote “This I Promise You” sang by *NSYNC which also was a big hit love song.

    🇬🇧 I used to have an obsession with a song by Richard Marx called
    HAZARD
    It was a story song but apart from intriguing lyrics
    The song has unusual musical
    Phases & changes & i personally found it a hard song to sing, tricky.
    But from the very 1st hearing of
    HAZARD I was hooked
    I kept playing it all the time & it gave me goosebumps
    Still today, whenever i play it the haunting bittersweet melody &
    The way Richard Marx sings it ,
    It never fails to give me shivers

    Yes this is a beautiful song. I remember when it came out in 1989 a local radio station here every night at a certain time would play this song and let people call in and give shout outs to friends and family members serving in the Gulf war. Saying how much they miss them and that they’ll be waiting for them when they make it back home. Much love and big hugs robsquad family! ❤️🌈

      I still love Everything You Do. My oldest daughter loves loves Robin Hood Prince of Thieves . Cause of how Alan Rickman is in it. What I didn’t know as a 90’s teenager he wrote and produced my favorite NSYNC song This I Promise You. Now I know why it was always my favorite.

  • @tlbrooks422
    @tlbrooks422 10 місяців тому +6

    A more rockin' pop and danceable (typical 80's) song by him is, "Should've Known Better." "Endless Summer Nights" is another great one that has a slower tempo and a little somethin' right off the bat that Amber will love! 😊 Man, these take me back!!! ❤ "Now and Forever" would definitely be that wedding song everyone used. "Hold On To the Nights" is another strong ballad. There are more, but those really got Richard to be "a household name."

  • @davewildermuth7519
    @davewildermuth7519 2 роки тому +18

    Notice that both the guitar solo and the main piano riff are simply restatements of the chorus melody. It's so simple and beautiful that it doesn't need anything else.
    For a more upbeat Richard Marx, check out "Don't Mean Nothing."

    When this came out in 1989 I was in the Navy and doing a shore tour with my family in the Philippines. I got to know some of the girls who worked in the infamous sex trade there. They were often forced in to this lifestyle by social and economic pressures beyond their control. So of course they dreamed of an escape, and one dream was to win the love of a sailor and get a whole new life. Well too many times to count sailors took advantage of these women emotionally, feeding their hopes with empty words and promises then leaving and forgetting. This song reminds me of those girls who would tell me of their "boyfriends" who would someday return to take them to a better life, over 30 years later I still grieve for them!!

    Richard Marx is an amazing song writer. He wrote Kenny Rogers song “Crazy”. Kenny changed one word in the song and by doing so made himself co-writer and took 50% of the writing royalties for himself. The last concert I saw pre-Covid in Dec 2019 was an acoustic concert with Richard Marx and Rick Springfield. The were both great.
