His self-titled 1987 album went triple platinum and made him the first male solo artist to have four singles from their debut crack the top three on the Billboard Hot 100. His follow-up, 1989's Repeat Offender, went quadruple platinum and landed two singles at number one. Marx takes a straight-talking look back on his life and career. In doing so he offers a sobering assessment of the music business as he has experienced it over four decades: the challenges of navigating greedy executives and grueling tour schedules, and the rewards of connecting with thousands of fans at sold-out shows that make all the drama worthwhile.Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on July 21, 2021).Intro -- Title Page -- Dedication -- Prologue: October 2019 -- Chapter 1: Where Do I Begin? -- Chapter 2: "I Wanna Be Free" -- Chapter 3: "The One You Need" -- Chapter 4: "You Are" -- Chapter 5: "Crazy" -- Chapter 6: "Guilty" (Barbra, Part I) -- Chapter 7: "She's a Beauty" -- Chapter 8: "White Heat" -- Chapter 9: "Should've Known Better" -- Chapter 10: "Manhunt" -- Chapter 11: "Somebody Loves You" -- Chapter 12: "If I Turn You Away" -- Chapter 13: "Endless Summer Nights" -- Chapter 14: "Don't Mean Nothing" -- Chapter 15: "Hold On to the Nights" -- Chapter 16: Riding the SpeedwagonChapter 17: "Edge of a Broken Heart" -- Chapter 18: "Burning of the Heart" (The Richard Marx Amendment) -- Chapter 19: "Right Here Waiting" (Barbra, Part II) -- Chapter 20: "Angelia" -- Chapter 21: The Elvis Incident -- Chapter 22: "You're the Voice" -- Chapter 23: The Tale of Taipei -- Chapter 24: It's a Boy, It's a Boy, It's a Boy -- Chapter 25: "Keep Coming Back" -- Chapter 26: "Hazard" -- Chapter 27: "Suddenly" -- Chapter 28: Elton and the Disappearing Tooth -- Chapter 29: "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" -- Chapter 30: "The Way She Loves Me" -- Chapter 31: Oprah, O.J., and MeChapter 32: "Through My Veins" -- Chapter 33: "The One That Got Away" -- Chapter 34: "If You Ever Leave Me" (Barbra, Part III) -- Chapter 35: "This I Promise You" -- Chapter 36: "To Where You Are" (The Mistake That Went to Number 1) -- Chapter 37: "Dance with My Father" -- Chapter 38: The Perfect Man's Imperfection -- Chapter 39: "Gone Country" -- Chapter 40: "Better Life" -- Chapter 41: A Successful Marriage -- Chapter 42: "Eyes on Me" -- Chapter 43: "Always" -- Chapter 44: "Limitless" -- Epilogue: November 2020 -- Photographs -- Acknowledgments -- About the Author -- Copyright
