En los 80, y con el apoyo de Lionel Richie, Richard Marx iniciaba su carrera musical en la que ha ejercido tanto de cantante y compositor como de productor, y siempre de rockero.
El suyo es el rock suave y melódico con baladas imperdibles como este Now and Forever, publicado a principios de los 90.
Whenever I'm weary from the battles that rage in my head
You make sense of madness when my sanity hangs by a thread
I lose my way but still you seem to understand
Now and forever I will be your man.
Sometimes I just hold you
Too caught up in me to see
I'm holding a fortune that heaven has given to me
I'll try to show you each and every way I can
Now and forever I will be your man
Now I can rest my worries and always be sure
That I won't be alone anymore
If I'd only known you were there all the time
All this time
Until the day the ocean doesn't touch the sand
Now and forever I will be your man
Now and forever I will be your man
