Right Here Waiting - Richard Marx - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Right Here Waiting" is a song by American singer-songwriter Richard Marx, released as a single on June 29, 1989. It was written by Richard Marx and Bruce Gaitsch, and produced by the singer with David Cole. Conceived as a love letter to his wife, actress Cynthia Rhodes, "Right Here Waiting" was initially intended for Barbra Streisand, who ultimately passed on it. However, the song found its rightful place on Richard Marx's 1989 second album, Repeat Offender. Driven by plaintive piano chords and its iconic main melody, "Right Here Waiting" not only showcased Richard Marx's songwriting prowess but also solidified his status as a pop sensation. The track reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100, staying there for three weeks and becoming the singer's third consecutive number 1 hit. Beyond its commercial success in the US, "Right Here Waiting" peaked at number 2 in the UK and dominated the adult contemporary charts. The song's legacy was later celebrated in a cover by Monica and 112, produced by David Foster.
