Richard Marx rose to fame in the late 1980s with hits like “Right Here Waiting” and “Hold on to the Nights,” blending rock and adult contemporary. After his last Top Ten hit in 1994, he shifted focus to songwriting, winning a Grammy for Luther Vandross’ “Dance with My Father.” Marx collaborated with artists like *NSYNC, Keith Urban, and Ringo Starr, while maintaining his solo career. His 2021 memoir, Stories to Tell, chronicled his journey, followed by his 13th album, Songwriter (2022), showcasing his versatility across pop, rock, and country genres.
