In 1971, REO Speedwagon released its first album, but the pop-rock band didn't chart until 1974 with "Ridin' the Storm Out." That album was recorded with temporary vocalist Michael Murphey, who would later have some solo success of his own. Regular vocalist/rhythm guitarist Kevin Cronin rejoined the band in 1975.
The 1977 release "REO Speedwagon Live/You Get What You Play For" began a string of gold and platinum albums, culminating with the 1980 album "Hi-Infidelity," which sold more than 10 million copies in the United States and included the No. 1 single "Keep on Lovin' You."
REO Speedwagon became known for its power ballads and has scored 13 Top 40 singles including "Time for Me to Fly," "Can't Fight This Feeling" and "Keep the Fire Burnin'."
The band continues to tour regularly, performing mostly their classic hits.
