Stories to Tell

by Richard Marx

  ABOUT THE AUTHOR

  RICHARD MARX has sold more than thirty million albums worldwide over the course of his career. He is the only male artist whose first seven singles reached the Top Five on the Billboard charts, and in 2011, he became the first artist since Michael Jackson to have songwriting credits on number one singles in four decades. He won a 2004 Song of the Year Grammy and has scored fourteen number one singles, both as a performer and as a songwriter/producer. He is also a committed philanthropist, supporting charitable causes such as the American Cancer Society, the Ronald McDonald House Charities, Mercy For Animals, the ASPCA, the Humane Society, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and the charity closest to his heart, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. He lives in Malibu, California, with his wife, Daisy Fuentes.
