Awesome. Go tell it on the mountain! I feel like people don’t know what we lost when Prince left us here.

Big Chick Huntsberry..

[@EscutCavaller007]

Thank you, Richard, that was great!

[@solangemaria2733]

Richard Marx melhor cantor maravilhoso, inesquecível, completo. 💎❤

[@gonzalopriale3293]

This happened when Prince still had Chick Huntsberry (1984?)... Richard's greatest hit "right here waiting" came out in 1989.... So how did Prince know who he was? "Hey, Richard, how you doin, man?"

[@gypsydragongal]

It would seem this guy thinks he could get away with starting a fight with Prince just bc he was asked not to bother him. Additionally, how many versions of his wedding ring does he have?

[@ultimatetruth7982]

No way this fool could ever fathom Prince’s talent. Prince was in a league way above Richard Marx ego & Prince was the real deal. The reality of this story is that Prince thought Marx was the tea boy & was hoping he would bring him some tea.

Songcrafters hold each other in some regard, even if they don't love each song itself. They are creators-in-arms

[@danjones6702]

lmao. i would think prince would of liked richard. richard writes his own songs, much as prince did. might want to get your head out of your ass.

Even Richard himself praised Prince's talent and how far above the rest of the field he was. There is no need to put Richard or his talent down because he has reached much higher levels of success that an extremely rare few will ever reach, and has also achieved what Prince, Elvis, and Michael Jackson could not. With that said, Richard is a huge talent, Prince is a huge talent and both have achieved great things in their careers as singers, as songwriters, and as producers.
