Flesh and Bone is the out of print fifth studio album by singer/songwriter Richard Marx. It was released in 1997 and was Marx's final studio album released on the Capitol Records imprint. (He returned to EMI-Capitol for one additional recording in 2004.)

Contents

This release marked an official decline in Richard's commercial standing, peaking at #70 on the Billboard album chart. Per Nielsen SoundScan, F&B had sold a total of 128,654 copies at the time of its deletion.

The single "Until I Find You Again" reached #3 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart and peaked at #42 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the spring of 1997. Early pressings featured a bonus acoustic EP titled To The Bone. The single and album both hit #1 in several international markets. It was Richard's first new studio release that did not produce a #1 song in America.
