Fronted by iconic vocalist Kevin Cronin since 1972, REO Speedwagon’s unrelenting drive, as well as non-stop touring and recording jump-started the burgeoning rock movement in the Midwest. Platinum albums and radio staples set the stage for the release of the band’s explosive HI INFIDELITY in 1980. The album contained the massive hit singles “Keep On Loving You” (No. 1 single written by Cronin) and “Take It On the Run,” and spent 15 weeks in the No. 1 slot. From 1977 to 1989, REO Speedwagon released nine consecutive albums all certified Platinum or higher, including a RIAA Diamond Award for HI INFIDELITY for surpassing sales of 10 million units in the U.S. REO, now having sold more than 40 million albums worldwide, is still electrifying concert audiences with hits including the Cronin-penned No. 1 “Can’t Fight This Feeling,” “Ridin’ The Storm Out,” “Time For Me To Fly,” “Roll With The Changes,” “Take It On the Run,” and many more.
