REO Speedwagon is a rock band which grew in popularity in the Midwestern United States during the 1970s. The band reached international stardom in the early 1980s. They continue to record & perform. The band had number one hits with Keep On Lovin’ You & Can’t Fight This Feeling. Both songs are power ballads, the former being prototypical of the genre & appearing on the group’s most commercially successful album, Hi Infidelity. Earlier REO songs Ridin’ The Storm Out, Roll With The Changes & Time For Me To Fly enjoy continuous rotation on classic rock radio stations. REO Speedwagon took its name from a truck manufactured by the REO automobile company. REO represents the initials the company’s founder, Ransom Eli Olds, who also lent his name to the Oldsmobile division of General Motors. The name was suggested to fellow bandmates by keyboard player Neal Doughty, who was enrolled as an engineering student at the University of Illinois in Champaign, Illinois & who learned about the truck in a history of transportation class.
