Publisher's Synopsis
*ABOUT THE SUBJECT* RICHARD MARX grew up in Chicago's posh suburb of Highland Park during Rock and Soul music's most fertile years of the 1960s, '70s, and '80s. Inheriting both a deep talent and passionate love of music, Richard's first recording session took place at the age of five. / Richard signed on with EMI-Manhattan Records, a division of Capitol, in his early twenties. His self-titled 1987 debut was a multi-million-selling smash that spawned four huge hits. His second recording, Repeat Offender, hit #1 throughout the globe and sold 10 million copies.
