It s telling that Richard Marx broke into the music business singing backup vocals for Lionel Richie and writing songs with Kenny Rogers and Chicago, for he kept to the straightforward, middle-of-the-road approach of those acts once he became a recording artist in his own right--not that there s anything wrong with that. A dependable hitmaker throughout the late 80s and early 90s, Marx scored with rockers ( Don t Mean Nothing, Should ve Known Better ), and ballads ( Right Here Waiting, Endless Summer Nights ) alike. Greatest Hits collects those songs as well as the lion s share of his high-end chart action--of which there was plenty, proving that a devotion to craft sometimes pays off better than fickle inspiration. -
