About REO Speedwagon

REO Speedwagon, formed in 1968 at the University of Illinois in Champaign by keyboardist Neal Doughty and drummer Alan Gratzer, emerged as a defining force in arena rock. Early on, the group experimented across genres from progressive to hard rock, solidifying their sound under the management of Irving Azoff, a future industry heavyweight known for guiding acts like the Eagles and Steely Dan. The band's initial lineup featured guitarist Gary Richrath, bassist Gregg Philbin, and vocalist Terry Luttrell. However, it was the return of singer Kevin Cronin in 1976 that marked a pivotal shift toward melodic, radio-friendly rock.

Through relentless touring and a dedicated Midwestern fanbase, REO Speedwagon built momentum with albums such as "R.E.O." (1976) and "You Can Tune a Piano, But You Can't Tuna Fish" (1978). Their commercial breakthrough skyrocketed with "Hi Infidelity" (1980), a diamond-certified album boasting enduring hits like "Keep on Loving You," "Take It on the Run," and "Don't Let Him Go." This success cemented their status alongside arena rock giants Styx and Journey. The group continued to release popular records throughout the 1980s, including "Good Trouble" (1982) and "Wheels Are Turnin’" (1984), featuring the timeless single "Can't Fight This Feeling."

Despite lineup changes—most notably the departure of Richrath and the additions of guitarist Dave Amato and drummer Bryan Hitt—REO Speedwagon sustained their legacy through extensive touring and compilation releases, benefiting from classic rock’s resurgence in the 1990s and beyond. Albums like "Find Your Own Way Home" (2007) and the holiday record "Not So Silent Night" (2009) showcased their adaptability. Even after the passing of founding guitarist Richrath in 2015, REO Speedwagon remained a steadfast presence in the rock world, continuing to captivate audiences into the late 2010s. Their enduring appeal lies in a remarkable ability to evolve while staying true to the melodic rock sound that made them icons of a generation.
