Richard Noel Marx nació el 16 de septiembre de 1963 en Chicago, Illinois, en una familia con fuerte inclinación musical. Su padre, Dick Marx, era un arreglista y compositor talentoso, y su madre, Ruth Marx, una cantante profesional. Desde una edad temprana, Richard estuvo inmerso en un ambiente lleno de música, lo cual influyó profundamente en su carrera posterior.
Richard comenzó a mostrar interés por la música desde niño. A los cinco años, ya cantaba jingles para comerciales de televisión, muchos de los cuales fueron compuestos por su padre. Estas experiencias tempranas en el estudio de grabación sentaron las bases para su fascinante carrera.
A los 17 años, Richard Marx envió una cinta de demostración a Lionel Richie, quien se interesó de inmediato en su talento. Richie lo invitó a Los Ángeles para trabajar como corista y compositor. En esa ciudad, Richard Marx continuó perfeccionando sus habilidades y componiendo música para otros artistas, incluyendo a Kenny Rogers y Freddie Jackson.
En 1987, Richard lanzó su álbum debut homónimo, "Richard Marx". Este álbum fue un éxito rotundo, alcanzando el puesto número 8 en el Billboard 200 y generando cuatro sencillos exitosos: "Don't Mean Nothing", "Should've Known Better", "Endless Summer Nights" y "Hold On to the Nights". Sus letras sentimentales y melodías cautivadoras le ganaron seguidores en todo el mundo.

Met a man who said he's got a villa down in Africa
I asked him what he's doing here, the weather sucks, what's wrong with ya?
He said he's got a gun, and that he's on the run
He used to have a life but it went wrong
Girlfriend's in a coma
He's promised to look after her
He's written to her favourite bands
He's hoping for Metallica
It all looks pretty grim
He wishes it were him
He used to have a life but it went wrong
And he said
Hey, what you living for?
Hey, what you looking for?
I'm not gonna take it any more
Is anybody there? Is anybody out?
Is anybody up? Is anybody down?
I don't think I can take it any more
I don't think I can take it any more
She's cruising in her wheelchair
She's dressed up like [a mexican]
She's holding up the traffic and there's gonna be an accident
I bet she lives alone
Is anybody home?
She used to have a life but it went wrong
And she says
Hey, what you living for?
Hey, what you learning for?
I'm not gonna take it any more
Is anybody there? Is anybody out?
Is anybody up? Is anybody down?
I don't think I can take it any more
I don't think I can take it any more
Hey, what you living for?
Hey, what you looking for?
I'm not gonna take it any more
Is anybody there? Is anybody out?
Is anybody up? Is anybody down?
I don't think I can take it any more
I don't think I can take it any more
