Hot Pick of the Day: Richard Marx!



Okay....no one would ever guess this musician would be the hot pick of the day. He was big in the 80's and early 90's but seemed to have gone under the radar. He resurfaced for a brief moment with a greatest hits album....who am I talking about you ask? Richard Marx!!

Not only is he making a comeback, but his music (and ahem, he of course) is hotter than before! It seems during those years of laying low in the media spotlight, he has been slow roasting, slowly building up years of flavor to become the well seasoned musician he is today.

How did I come to discover this? Back when I was in the Navy, I listened to his greatest hits album often. Well, somehow that cd was lost and while shopping I came across it again. I have been listening to this cd nonstop for the past few days. Songs of romance and heart felt emotion, his voice can melt any modern mother's heart! So, out of curiosity, I decided to check out "where he is now".

He has a fan website you can visit, http://www.richardmarx.com/ or http://www.richardmarxonline.com/. He also has a myspace page and a facebook fan page as well. I strongly suggest you check out his myspace page to listen to his current music on streaming mp3s, get recent news, show information, blogs and recent photographs.

He is one of the few musicians in the industry today that writes, sings, and plays instruments for all of his songs. His is like an organic version, whereas a lot of the mainstream stuff is processed and lacks any artistic value. So if you are tired of fast food music, which gives you cheap processed junk to make a huge profit, but would prefer an organic and home cooked meal, Richard Marx is the way to go. Enjoy!

  1. He looks younger now than he did back then! I wonder why he has been so quiet all of these years....

  2. I know! I wonder what his secret is to looking so good! He says on his website he eats healthy and doesn't eat any red meat. He looks really good for his age. I have no idea why he hasn't been in the spotlight more, he is a truly talented musician.
