Vocal Coach Reacts To Richard Marx | Hold On To The Nights | Live | Ken Tamplin
Richard Marx has always had a knack for chart topping singles.
Richard himself has the distinction of being the first solo artist to have his first 7 singles hit the top 5 on Billboard.
He's also an incredibly talented songwriter too and has written 14 number one singles for both himself and other artists.
Marx began writing songs as a teenager and at 17, he was connected to Lionel Richie, to whom Marx gave a copy of recorded songs he had written.
A year later Marx moved to Los Angeles and met with Richie and got his start singing background vocals for various artists.
Richard has gone on to sell more than 30 million albums and his second album was certified quadruple platinum. Billboard has ranked him of the "Greatest of all-time Hot 100 artists".
I'll be reacting to a performance of his hit "Hold On To The Nights". If you are not familiar with us other music, I highly encourage you to look him up.
I hope you enjoy the video and let me know what you thought!
Also be sure to check out this tune by the band Giant which I referenced in the reaction. They have a break in this song very similar to the one Richard Marx used.

Saw him about 2 years ago in Ft. Lauderdale in a theater. It was literally just him and an acoustic guitar. He killed it. I thought I was going to be disappointed because of the lack of band but he was unbelievable. Plus with the intimate setting he spoke a lot about the motivation for writing a lot of the songs of his we love. That dud still sounds exactly the same. Vocals are spot on and clean as can be

Thanks for doing this review on Richard Marx. He's one of my favorite singer/songwriters. I agree with what you said about his singing. I laughed when you mentioned his mullet back in the '80's. I have an interview with him where he says it took him 45 minutes to whip it into submission. LOL. He's written a lot of songs for himself and others and has produced other peoples albums. He's great live. I've seen him a couple times and he's funny and serious and a great storyteller. We could use more songwriters like him these days. Songs that have a message and not a lot of bad language in them. Thank you again for covering Richard.

This song is genius. He's a great singer and songwriter, quite underrated in my opinion. what I love about this song is how it starts off one-way and then the bridge totally switches it up in another key and then it has you yearning for the chorus back once again so by the time you get to the end it really draws you into it! ..... and after I wrote this and listened to the rest I noticed you said the same thing which makes me very happy lol 😊

Hi Ken and Bob! The mullet is still a very popular hairstyle and I think it's time that we all jump on the band wagon. While visiting Pennsylvania I noticed a lot of both men and women rocking mullets in a local Walmart store and I realized that they must still be training hairdressers in that particular haircut at beauty schools all across Pennsylvania. Each mullet was more fabulous than the next. Richard Marx and his band were not only extremely talented singers, song writers and performers but also pioneers in popularizing what can be considered one of the sweetest and most confusing hairstyles of all time...the mullet. Thank you Ken for not only bringing attention to Richard Marx's awesome singing and song writing talent but also to his and the band's beautiful hair cut. For those about to rock (the mullet)...we salute you!

Really nice to see the amazing works of Richard Marx still being acknowledged. This live concert was obviously recorded decades ago when he was still topping the charts performing his original songs. While his biggest hits have been sung by other artists in the last couple decades, most of his best original albums have been released since the 2000s. While he does now transpose many original keys down in concerts, he is one of the few singers I can think of who sounds better live than in the studio. He has worked with countless other greats and always sounds the way so many wish they could. His vocal abilities, songwriting, instrumental skills, and polished producing are a combination that make him one of the greatest singer/songwriters of all time. I hope he will keep at it as long as possible and that more audiences continue to be introduced to his undeniably spectacular artistry.

This song dropped back in 1988-89 when I was a senior in high school. Repeat Offender is the album, I think. I've been a fan of Richard's since 1987 when his debut dropped with Don't Mean Nothing, etc, etc. I'm 51 now and was hoping that Kayla Reeves would come back into the studio to do those two songs (Don't Mean Nothing & Hold On To The Nights). BTW Ken, that woman in the front row of that show singing along with Richard and the band in this video still gets me all choked up, then and now.

Big fan of Richard Marx. Not sure when I first heard him, but the second I heard him I liked him. Great Songwriter / Singer / Performer. The Mullet was never declared an endangered species, both Richard Marx and Billy Ray Cyrus traded theirs in for new hairdos. Richard Marx's music is still relevant today. Great Lyrics and Great Compositions never go out of style. 20 years from now, people will still be listening to Richard Marx. Ken thanks for sharing this. You described Richard's singing style with his throat pinched down, it explains his unique 'sound'. I have always admired his voice. I don't sing that way, but I can appreciate Richard's style that much more now. He also has great vocal range, breathing, and dynamic physical delivery style that engages the audience. You can have best voice in the world, but if you can't deliver it effectively, you will loose your audience.

Richard was my absolute favorite singer/musician for about 25 years of my life, from when I was around 12 until just a few years ago (and even today he's still near the top of my list). Honestly, singing along with his songs is how I learned to sing, and he's also one of the biggest reasons I started writing my own songs, too. Thanks for such an awesome reaction! For anyone who's interested, Richard actually just released a new single called "Another One Down": kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pJukrauAvsrMn6M.html (The video even includes all three of his sons in various roles :- ) )
