Rapper FIRST time REACTION to Richard Marx - Right Here Waiting! Oh yea, we making love...

[@chelseahaley8350]

Hazard is my favorite song by him! Great storytelling! Endless summer nights, Hold onto the nights, & Now and forever are a few other really good ones!

[@Morgaine]

I forgot all about Hazard. Wow.

Your comment just gave me chills. 🥁🫖🎯😭🌧️Hazard is incredible. Haven’t heard it in 20 years. Hold my mineral water, I’m going in. Brb. 😂 Edit: Just listened to Hazard. It’s even more shattering than I remember. Holy smokes. 😭How do we get the guy to react to it. It’s one of a kind, to this day. Dang. 🙌🙏 Edit: Love the shirt. Want. 🫡🩷🏞️

Richard is totally underrated, his music takes me onto a different dimension.

[@karensamuel1139]

👍 😊

[@the-dave-house-project]

While I agree, he did have seven consecutive top 5 hits and was one of the most successful artists of the 80's and 90's. Not too shabby, but he still doesn't get the recognition he deserved.

[@thomasjones4570]

Underrated? Dude was one of the top song writers of the 1980s and first half of the 1990s. Many major hits and even wrote major hits for others. 1 Grammy, nominated for another 4. Won like 14 pop music awards, nominated for around 20 Billboard awards. Dude is very recognized for his works.

[@sherry640]

Absolutely love Richard Marx! Incredible song writer, piano player, & gorgeous vocals. He’s written hit songs for more big performers than anyone realizes!

[@michelle88960]

My husband was never one to say “I love you “ or be romantic. Sometimes I would wonder if he did, but I didn’t dwell on it, until one night in the pub I was a little drunk and I said to my husband “ you never tell me how you feel about me. Do me a favour and put a song on just for me “ and he went to the jukebox and put this song on, I was so happy. But the moral to this is, a week after that night my husband died in a car accident. And I would often think back on our lives together later. I remembered how he would often cook my dinner when I had done overtime, came home with a dress I had admired once walking past the shop, bought me a Bruce Springsteen album even though he hated him, and still ate the Christmas dinner I had burned and said it was good! What I’m trying to say is that just because someone doesn’t say those 3 little words, it doesn’t matter, actions speak louder than words. And those little things say them loud and clear. Doesn’t stop me crying whenever I hear this song though! Sorry, I’m not trying to be a pity party! It’s a long time ago but anybody can say “I love you “ but not many Springsteen haters can put up with him day and night, and say nothing when you’ve eaten your wife’s burnt Christmas dinner and break a bit of tooth from it and say it was lovely! That’s love 😂😂

Billy Joel was asked by an interviewer about the inspiration behind a song. I forget which one, but Billy said that Richard Marx wrote it, and when Richard Marx says he has a song for you, you record it.

Yup. Love it. He also did a funny reaction to Trump saying Confefe in regards to it being the answer to Hazard.

[@arvinbalboa5810]

Richard Marx is one of my all time favorite singer, songwriter and producer.

[@stefaniefullmer9912]

Richard Marx has written a lot of songs for many other artists, including Keith Urban and N'Sync. He is so talented!

[@jeannieschmidt2217]

Richard Marx is one of the BEST singers/songwriters of the 80's. He does amazing ballads - but also fantastic uptempo songs as well. Please check out Should've Known Better, Don't Mean Nothing, Too Late To Say Goodbye, and Loney Heart.

[@brendasimmons8149]

Agreed

[@martipeterson4079]

He also wrote some backstreet boys stuff.

[@larrybench6398]

I do believe I was the one who requested it, glad you enjoyed it hey brother I have one more I'm sure you will like it's a song by LONESTAR, called "AMAZED" this one will blow your mind this song will be one that you will want to play for your wife, beautiful song. Enjoy THANKS

[@lrsrosebud]

I worked in the Mall of America the first year they were open and for the month of December, they had singers/musicians playing at lunch every day in the main rotunda. I was going to get coffee and I hear these two guys singing Christmas songs while playing acoustic guitars. I thought one of the voices sounded familiar…it was Richard Marx! Just him and another guy just casually sitting there, singing Christmas songs. It was awesome!

[@amberrose8756]

OMG, that must have been freakin AMAZING! ❤

[@bonnielee78]

Richard Marx was married to Cynthia Rhodes who was the blonde dancer in the red dress in Toto's 'Rosanna' video (for 25 years), she is an actress who was also in Flashdance and Dirty Dancing. He is presently married to Daisy Fuentes. Richard was massive in the 80's and 90's. He has written so many amazing songs.

She was also in the movie Saturday Night Fever. She was John Travolta's love interest, ( the blonde ).

Thank you! I heard this song on the radio earlier today before I watched this video and the passenger in my car said that this was Richard Marx and I said no this is Bryan Adam’s. I didn’t not believe him at all. I made him prove it to me. I all this time thought it was Bryan Adam’s. Total Bryan vibes!

[@PatiAnn]

Richard was one of the BEST song writters of the 90s.... he wrote for a lot of artists... had a great solo career.... i loved his "should have known better"... ❤🎉❤

[@PatiAnn]

Another great song written was Diane Warnen too but she didn't sing... she made songs for a huge amount of artists n so many bangers you hear are 50% by her, Google her .... she's won so many awards for song writing..

[@tracycagliero129]

Richard sounds great live too, just like his recordings!❤

[@AngB517]

This was my first concert. My daddy used us as the excuse to go see him 😁. His whole discography is great. if you are going down a jump around to different bands and genres, try Bad English *When I See You Smile*

[@maureencollins5177]

This was a worldwide hit for Richard Marx. He's sold like 30 million albums, but if you asked him he'd say he's primarily a songwriter. He wrote "Dance With My Father" for Luther Vandross, "This I Promise You" for NSYNC, several for Streisand, Keith Urban, many others. He's had several other #1 hits like "Endless Summer Nights" and "Hold Onto the NIght".

[@mikesavage2114]

I saw him in Arizona at a mall outside in the parking lot. Upper level. It was awesome. I have loved his music forever.

[@RiverSong5683]

I saw him at Jones Beach Theatre in NY in 1992. He was great live, as well. I loved him back then. I thought he just wasn’t singing anymore, but I see below I was wrong. Thanks for the reminder!

One of Richard Marx's biggest hits is "Don't Mean Nothing", which is a song about the music industry (right up your alley).

[@DionneTuplin]

Oh, I HAD to comment on this one. THANK YOU for reacting to this song. It's one of my favorites. Right Here Waiting is from his sophomore album "Repeat Offender." Richard's got quite the playlist of songs. He got his start with Lionel Richie, written songs for Kenny Roger's, *NSYNC, Josh Groban, worked with Luther Vandross, and many artists you're familiar with The man is GENIUS, and I will die on that mountain. Soooo many other songs to choose from. You will NOT be disappointed. If you haven't guessed, I've been a HUGE fan since 1987!!!😉

Barbra Streisand asked him if he would write a song for her next album. He offered her this song. She called him back later and "Richard, I listened to your song and I love the melody, but I can't sing those lyrics because I'm not going to be right here waiting on ANYBODY." He later wrote If You Ever Leave Me as a duet for her and Vince Gill.

The fluffy mullet! Richard Marx comes from the late 80s common with the 80s hairbands. Marx was one of the most successful singer songwriters of the late 80s to mid 90s. Love the slight rasp in his voice. He co wrote the Grammy award winning song Dance with my father with Luther Vandross

His duet with JC from *NSYNC was prefaced by the story of how he was working with the group on a song he wrote, and there had been young women outside the studio all day. He was walking across the parking lot after a session when a woman ran up to him and asked “Are you Richard Marx?” When he answered in the affirmative, pleased that he still had it, she squealed and said “Oh my gosh, my mother LOVES you!”

From 1989... almost tail end of the "big hair" era. I graduated high school in '88.... you should see our class picture....they had to increase the distance between the risers in order for the faces in the second row to be seen over the hair of the first row...no lie.
