I would just like to point out that the whole “ high in fidelity “ album was good. Especially “take it on the run”
The name of the album was "Hi Infidelity". It was a play on "Hi Fidelity", "or Hi-Fi". And "infidelity" is one word. No, I'm not trying to be a Grammar Nazi. The difference is important here. The way you wrote it, "High in fidelity", would mean someone is high in their faithfulness. "Infidelity" means "unfaithfulness", or, cheating on your other half.
Phil Pennington as badly as I butchered the album name, it must have taken you hours to decipher what I was trying to communicate.
Don't Let Him Go is, IMHO, the best track on that album.
The album high infidelity made these guys millionaires overnight!!
Everyone I knew had a copy of that album. I loved the title too. This video pretty much sucks, but the song is killer.
The part that gets to me, is when he says "When I said that I love you, I meant that I'd love you forever". It's just an absolutely beautiful song.
I’ve laid that line on my wife before.
@@OldMusicFan83 Hello OldMusic! What a lovely thing to say, my friend. Do me a favor, never stop telling her that. Thanks for the comment, It was greatly appreciated. All my best 🙏♥️
Gary Richrath is one of the most underrated guitarist ever. He left the band because of the problems he had between him and the lead singer Kevin Cronin. Biggest mistake they ever made was letting him go.
He was a drug addict. He let himself go
Well said, couldn't agree more! RIP Gary
CE Beidler...I wish I could give your comment two thumbs up. It's obvious Gary had his demons (as we all do), but there's nothing inaccurate as it relates to your comment. RIP Gary.
Yes he had demons but was also a really fun person. Great guitarist.
Through a mutual friend I happened to meet and hang out with Gary back in the 70's. My memory of him is he was basically a dick, but a talented dick. R.I.P.
This song was so popular,whenever I was 15 or 16,also"Take it on the Run" was also another great song by them as well!
Same here, you couldn't escape hearing something from this album back in 81
Yep, I was the same age at that time; you couldn't get away from this song even if you tried!
I was 18. Graduation dance....got engaged. Didn't last, but this song was powerful!!! Still is.
Actually when you think of R.E.O wedding songs, I'm sure most would agree it's "I can't fight this feeling!" But seriously you can play literally any song from the album "You can tune a piano but you can't tuna fish" yes, that really is the name of the album!
Hey, y'all! Just stumbled onto your channel earlier today; can't stop watching, now! As a 60 year old man who listens to everything from Hank Williams to Robert Johnson to Alice in Chains to Lil Troy and Tupac, I feel like if we could ever just listen to one another's music, maybe we could understand one another a little better; learn to love one another a little more and hate a little less. Love what you're doing. That having been said, I have a suggestion. Not sure if you've done it yet, but I think you'd like Disturbed Sound of Silence. It's a Simon and Gatfunkel cover.
They have a playlist you should check out. I know they did S&G version of that song, but I am not sure if they have reacted to Disturbeds version.
I have also requested it so hopefully they react to it soon.
65 here, and I have similar opinions to yours (as expressed above, anyway.)
They have reacted to Disturbed's cover of "Sound Of Silence."
64 here, and I agree. These kids have gone back to the Andrews Sisters! Yes, they're bridging the generations and getting rid of the gap!
Also check out Andy and Alex and Jamel aka Jamal - two other reaction channels who take suggestions from those of us who know what "music" is SUPPOSED TO sound like! There are many other reaction channels out there - kinda fun to check out. But this couple, and the other 2 channels I mentioned feel kinda like "family" If you stick around!
59 here. I've been watching for a little while and I find as I think you might that this family is infectiously enjoyable and have the instinct to apprehend what's at the heart of songs. They're not afraid to mix up the genres. I started listening to crooners which I've never had before this channel, and I've been enjoying it quite a bit
Yep! Disturbed ...Sound of Silence is excellent!
REO always reminds me of a band called April Wine (just between you and me, sign of the gypsy queen). Lots of high school memories there.
They had some great hits. 80's rock!
I had the 8track of April Wine,title was, "The Nature of the Beast"! Love me some April Wine!
Love April wine also
Don't forget I LIKE TO ROCK another great song by them
“All Over Town” is my favorite April Wine song!
REO was beloved in the Midwest during the 70's and 80's. For some reason they felt like a hometown band to me. Remember, this video was played in the early days of MTV. I wouldn't make too much of it. Artists were trying to figure out the new medium. This is a bit softer than earlier work, but a really great power ballad.
you are witnessing the birth of the POWER BALLAD with this song!!
LOL no they're not. A large amount of mentions for the "First power ballad" goes to Nazareth for their cover of "Love Hurts". Not ALWAYS, just saying....they get mentioned the most in lists of "the first power ballads". Also Aerosmtih's "Dream On". Both of which were before 1980.
Badfinger - Without you (1970) is the song I consider the first power ballad of all time
@@philpennington826 those songs are much more rock ballads than power ballads. the 80s power ballads had a certain sound to them. from REO to bon jovi to KISS etc they all had the same dna. sweet ballads that usually had memorable guitar solos.
@@0x1ca3 a good song for sure but no power whatsoever in it.
@@cabowabodude Power ballad also need power, though. That's kinda why they're called "power" ballads. "Home Sweet Home" is a power ballad. "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" is not.
This was a huge, huge, huge #1 hit in the ‘80s. Then they followed it up with another one from the same album.
The lead singer said this song is a response about finding out that his wife had been cheating on him before they were married. Instead of leaving her, he decided he would keep on loving her. He said that a lot of people over the years have told him they use that song as their wedding song, but that's a bad idea. In the very first verse of the song: You played dead, but you never bled, Instead you laid still in the grass, all coiled up and hissin'. She was a snake in the grass. Then he goes on: And though I know all about those men, still I don't remember...
Same general concept with "Every Breath You Take". People were using that at weddings as well, until they found out the song is about a stalker.
Yeah, I made that mistake. I kept on loving her but I couldn't forgive her. Just leave if someone betrays you.
Yeah, this was called being a chump. Now its called a simp.
@@josephgallagher6529 I have some ignorant punk work for you.
@@hubrisnaut i was commenting about the singer, not you. Alot of women think of men that way. Its a game to some of them.
Ah yes, the power chord that not only makes the intro, but defines a generation of rock ballads.
REO S.W had another big hit with "Can't Fight This Feing Anymore". It's a great power balled. ❤
“Ridin’ The Storm Out” is a great one by REO!
"Don't Let Him Go" is much faster-paced song, with another being "Roll With the Changes"
REO Speedwagon signature song… “Riding the Storm Out”
For another band, I encourage you to react to the Alan Parson’s Project, “I wouldn’t Want to be Like You”. Love this song.
Live version rules
@@joemachine4714 absolutely!
For a couple of years we could not wait for REO SW to come to our town so we coud jam out to "Riding the Storm Out" and then they went the power ballad route with the lead singer( I think he wanted to be a Eric Carmen clone) winning out over Gary Richrath their talented underrated guitarist and it was never the same
Ridin' the Storm Out (the live version) is my all-time favorite REO song!!! My friend in college grew up in a very small farm town in western Illinois, and the high schools were so small that a bunch of them got together and had their prom at Western Illinois University. When REO Speedwagon was first starting out, they played his brother's PROM!
Almost never hear parsons on the radio anymore. Such a shame
REO was a middle of the road band until Kevin Cronin took over as lead vocalist....then they soared!!
Ahh, Kevin Cronin the pride of the South Side. 👍👊
Actually they had a more southern rock feel to them with their original singer.
WOW... tonight is like a class reunion..... great bands. REO Time for me to fly is the best
Yes! "Roll With The Changes"! Just a great great road song!! Thanks for this reaction!
Some great songs from this band ... Ridin the Storm Out, 157 Riverside Avenue, Take it on the Run, Time for me to Fly, Golden Country .....
Part of my childhood...Take It On The Run, Roll With Changes, Time for me to Fly, Tough Guys, I could go on and on.
Time for me to Fly, REO's best song. The entire album "High In Fidelity" is outstanding.
Another classic you guys keep delivering ❤🎉😊
Seen REO in Toledo Ohio back in the 80’s. The line up was Danny Joe Brown, Foghat and REO at an outdoor concert at Toledo speedway. Someone in the audience threw a milk jug of beer (no glass allowed) on stage while REO was playing. The whole band had to stop in the middle of a song to clean up the mess so they wouldn’t get electrocuted. Then the lead singer told the crowd that if they see someone else do that to “punch them in the mouth” for him. All in all it was a great concert.
REO Speedwagon. This song, on their 9th album Hi Infidelity (1980) was released in late 1980, and was their first top 10 hit, reaching number 1. REO has been around, however, since 1971, when their 1st album was released. Been listening to them since the early 1970's. Great REO songs that pre-date Keep On Loving You are: Keep Pushin', 157 Riverside Avenue, Ridin' The Storm Out, Golden Country, Little Queenie, Like You Do, Roll With The Changes, Time For Me To Fly, Only The Strong Survive, & On The Road Again. My favorite REO Speedwagon album is their 1977 live album, Live: You Get What You Play For.
This song was hands-down one of the biggest hit songs of the entire decade
You guys are on the RIGHT track! SUCH a great SONG! Love REO! Ridin the Storm Out....probably their BEST song
This was the biggest hit of 1980.
Such a great band! Other hits of theirs include Roll with the Changes, That Ain't Love, Take it on the Run, Don't Let Him Go, Time for Me to Fly, Back on the Road Again, and Ridin' the Storm Out.
Back on the Road Again is criminally underrated!
You forgot 157 Riverside Avenue . All songs on "You Can Tune A Piano But You Can't Tuna Fish" and "You Get What You Played For".
This song came out in 1981 and was the song of the year. It had staying power as it was also one of the biggest songs of the decade.
Roll With The Changes by REO is still one of my favorite songs. Shout out to Gary Richrath and the Flying Turkey Trot. You guys should know REO in Colorado was the first concert MTV ever aired.
When this song hit it was constantly on the radio. Everywhere on many stations! Huge hit for them!!!!
Old School REO Speedwagon - Riding the Storm Out!
REO:
Ridin’ the Storm Out (Live)
Roll with the Changes
This is one of my favorite 80s song!!!
I was in junior high when it was released and there are so many great memories with this song. This album HI INFIDELITY has several great songs including my other favorite of theirs, TAKE IT ON THE RUN.
Another later mid 80s song of theirs is CAN'T FIGHT THIS FEELING...excellent music video. Great music, great ballads, great rock music.
I ❤ Rock and Roll!!!!
Thanks for reacting to REO Speedwagon.
Roll With the Changes! You have to hear Roll With the Changes! Such good energy and some of the best musicianship of any song ever!
RIP Gary Richrath, amazing riffs, legend!! I loved REO, but his guitar parts were what sealed it for me.....
PLEASE do "157 Riverside Avenue," "Roll With The Changes" and "Riding the Storm Out." Roll and Riding are more traditional straight-forward rock songs with a driving beat and great vocals. For 157 you'll want to get the live version. It's just NUTS, but a lot of fun. Guarantee you've never heard anything quite like it in your lives! Three GREAT SONGS! Back in the day REO was considered one of the best arena rock bands you could see live. They just put out everything they had into every song. You won't see anything like that today. And it's too bad.
It’s a deep cut but “The Key” is one of my favourites. Other hits are:
1) I Wish You Were Here
2) Can’t Fight This Feeling
3) Here With Me
4) Take It On the Run
5) In My Dreams
6) I Don’t Want to Lose You
7) Time For Me To Fly
"Ridin' The Storm Out" and "Roll With The Changes (Keep On Rollin')" as well!
...."you played dead, but you never bled.... instead, you lay still in the grass all coiled up and hissing"...
some of the best lyrics ever in 70's arena ballad rock history
Kevin Cronin actually wrote this song about his wife who he was in the middle of separating from at the time. The beginning of the video is just some bum director's lousy idea that means nothing and they probably regretted doing it immediately afterwards.
I have strange feelings about this song for an unusual reason. When it came out, everybody who knew us thought it was me and my music partner and that we hadn't told anyone back home who used to come see us that we'd been signed to a record deal and released a single and that it was supposed to be a surprise. Lol! My partner sounded like the lead singer and I used to sing really high like in the chorus. I heard about this for years afterward whenever I'd hear from people from back home. Lol! But actually, like so many others, it just never happened for me.
The late great Gary Richrath on guitar. Criminally underrated. "Roll With the Changes" has some great guitar work.
For a more rocking side of REO, check out "Riding the Storm Out" (Live version), or "Roll with the Changes."
Ah November 1980 when this song was released, my teenage years! This song brings back many memories!
A true masterpiece!
One of the GREATEST guitar leads EVER..
SHORT but ohhh my god..
Gives me goose bumples ever time...
Yeah that smile Amber..
REO Speedwagon along with Journey and Loverboy were huge when I was in junior high and like the first year of high school. The 80s were such a great time for rock music of all sorts. You had bands like this. The post punk, new wave bands were on every video channel and metal was making a resurgence despite music video channels not playing them. One of my favorite times of my life.
This song brings me right back to 11th grade.
This is one of those songs that really takes me back. When this song came out in '81, I was in the 3rd grade, and this is one that I would here on the radio a lot while on the school bus.
You have to remember that A LOT of ‘80’s music videos were often directed by ‘commercial’ directors trying to make a name, and the video’s frequently are an artistic indulgence for the director. They seemingly have no context relating to the song. The song is the song… the video is the video. If you had never seen this video, and listened to the song, it would literally just be a sweet love song, slightly in the ‘power ballad’ category. Often overlooked with REO, is the harmonizing. Kevin. Cronin’s natural soprano, (that’s not falsetto) needs to be harmonized with a few voices in lower registers, they did that as well as anyone.
This is their best song, and actually the very first power ballad to use strong electric guitar power chords. It started a revolution! This was early 1981, and it FINALLY put them on the map. It hit #1, and so many rock bands followed in their footsteps. You just listened to the beginning of the 80's power ballad era with this song!!! 💯
Hello guys, "Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore' is their best song for me, check it out sometime. 🎄🦌✌️☮️💕
♥️♥️♥️ REO
@@maryellenazack4466 I see where you're coming from Mary Ellen. They had been around since the sixties and didn't score their first big breakout album until 1981 which made them a determined hardworking band and I can appreciate that work ethic. They were pretty damn good for what was going on in the eighties. A lot of one hit wonders and remember the bands that had videos with some clown playing the infamous keyboard guitars and the mullet hair with the long hair way past their shoulder's. I have nothing against long hair, I always had long hair (I'm 63 now and my hair is over ears) I've been enjoying Beatles 1965-66 look over the last year but when I saw these jerk offs I would have taken great pleasure in taking that piano guitar and smashing it over their heads and I've never once committed a violent act I'm my life, I'm all about peace and love but these guys always pissed me off. Speaking of hardworking bands The Beatles are the all time kings. They are the only band in history that never missed a performance and that's everything from concerts during the insanity of Beatlemania, 63-66. Never missed a tv appearance, interview, never missed any engagement and I don't know how they did it. Add to that the music they were putting out between 65-66 is amazing. Two albums in 65, "Help" and "Rubber Soul" and this was during a world tour and all of the craziness surrounding them. "Revolver" in 66 plus several #1 singles during this period. "Revolver" is regarded by many as the greatest album in history, not their Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band lp. There is always debate about this and I kinda lean towards "Revolver" I remember when I was a kid and The Beatles exploded after The Ed Sullivan show that they were an overnight success, BS ! John was 17 and Paul 15 when they met and hooked up. They brought Paul's school friend George Harrison 14 yrs old 5 months later and this was in 1957. Ringo didn't complete the lineup until 62. Music historians estimate that John, Paul and George had put in around 10,000 hrs together before they recorded their first album "Please Please Me" in February, 1963. That's the definition of hardworking ! Nothing pisses me off more then when I see these young people on U Tube say "Yeah, The Beatles were the first boy band. Are you F_ _king Kidding Me? The Beatles were already professional musicians when they first stepped into the EMI recording studios. I would suggest that these idiots look up the definition of a boy band which is when some slickster producer or agent holds auditions for young boys that can sing and dance. They usually put together 5 boys that don't know each other from Adam and Eve and put them on the road. Examples that come too mind are NSYNC and The Backstreet Boys which actually sounds not half bad compared too this garbage today. There are a number of boy bands now and they suck. Name me one really great band today, you can't, they don't exist anymore. Today is nothing more than a bunch of braggadocios rappers and a bunch of lame white solo male singers whose songs suck due to no catchy riffs or bridges in their songs. What is this, 1960 again with the liked of Fabian and Frankie Avalon? Please! Cardi B can take her mumble rap and shove it, she sucks, and these young people raking in multi millions of dollars for putting out garbage. Arianna Grande has amassed over 100 million dollars in seven years. Are you kidding me. I always thought she was ok until a couple of years ago when she decided that she had too drop F Bombs in a lot of her songs too express herself and brag about her incredible sex life. Come on man, I wonder if her mother ever says, "Ariana, what are you thinking about"? Does she realize that there are a whole lot of very young girls that look up too her and listen too this trash. If I was a parent of a young girl I would be appalled and it's almost impossible to police this stuff with the internet today. Come on Ariana, you can do better then this. The Beatles never once felt the need too cuss in a song and they're they're the biggest act in entertainment history to this day 51 years after they officially split up. Let It Be is recognized as their last LP released in 1970 but "Abbey Road" released in September, 1969 id their last record together. "Let It Be" was recorded in February 1969 but not released until 70.The Beatles once tried too slip a word in on their 1965 hit "Day Tripper" the line "She's a big teaser" was written and presented too their producer as"She's a prick teaser" George Martin said you know you can't say that. Today no one would think twice about it but in 65 that was huge no no.
@@maryellenazack4466 Sorry if I went on a rant and I forgot too say that I truly hope that you have a very Merry Christmas 🎄 and a Happy New Year Mary. Ellen. 🎄🦌✌️☮️💕
I forgot one more note here. The Beatles were the all time kings when it came to slipping sexual and drug references past the very strict censors at the BBC back in the sixties. Lennon and McCartney were both brilliant people. Ok, I'm done here. Take care and stay safe during these crazy COVID times. 🎄🦌✌️☮️💕
@@dougsusie2319 MERRY CHRISTMAS 🌠
Song is still sooo fricken beautiful. ❤️
Had the pleasure of seeing REO in concert at Dubuque Iowa at an outside concert in 2018. Another great concert
At the 2:00 minute mark is the best line of any love song ever.
"Oh, you played dead
But, you never bled
Instead, you lay still in the grass, all coiled up and hissing."
I would have my feelings hurt for life if someone said that to me...lol.
REO & Journey have their own musical genre Rock N Roll mixed with some blues. Not only that the two bands have the best ballads in music history/ to this very day!!
Reo Speedwagon was formed in the mid 1970s lead singer is Kevin Cronin another of theirs is Can't fight this feeling from 1985.
one of the best power ballads ever!! oh yeah!!! ; )
The chorus is called the hook. Every song has one. It holds the song together and most important it’s the part that grabs the listener and the part that keeps playing in your head.
Classic 80s rock ballard.....love it!❤
I played this song over and over on my mixed tape 😊.
Would looove you guys to check out Air Supply, absolute fantastic vocals that will have you swaying in no time.
So did I and have to sing along 😅
The "Avant guarde" is a French term that names those who were especially ahead of their time and pushing the envelope. It's used in most of the Arts, but in Music it was particularly used in the late 1800s and early 1900s to label composers who were "out there" way beyond the normal practices of their time.
The sound in this particular song is just screaming ...and so rich !
REO Soeedwagon songs are every memory from my H.S. years and my first concert in 1981 (Cost $9.00 plus a .25 cent convenience fee) ! They had several top 10 hits from the late 70's to mid 80's. Aahh, the good ole days 😎.
My first concert was .38 Special 1982
Lol the price in n.j. at that time was $23.00
Great concert.
I have a request, since you like Hall and Oates, it’s a crime you haven’t heard “Out of Touch” it’s my favourite Hall and Oates song :D
Great one! Maneater is another classic.
@@Governor1993 agreed :))
Best concert I ever went to was REO Speedwagon, Styx and Journey. Epic concert.
My wife and I were fortunate to see this hit machine last year when they toured with STYX. It was a great show. Both bands sound just as good now as they did when the tunes originally came out.
REO Speedwagon...another band with that classic 70's sound. Love it!
“You played dead but you never bled. Instead you laid still in the grass all coiled up and hissing”. Great lyrics. Love this song. I agree, the video is a little creepy 😂😂. Still, a fantastic song. Merry Christmas 🎄🌺✌️
REO Speedwagon is an amazing group. I'm an 80's brat, born in the 70's but I love a lot of the old classic country music and rock and roll, including some hard rock and classic rock from the 70's. Some of the best music. I love watching you guys react to a variety of music and videos that span through the decades and genres. You should check out REO Speedwagon's can't fight this feeling.......
I think you would love Carrie Underwood's 'Just a dream' for Female Friday.
"Say Something" by A Great Big World"
"Storm" by Lifehouse..
I love seeing you react to Patsy Cline too. She is amazing, her "Sweet Dreams" is one of the best songs she's done.
Freddy Fender is classic Country with "Before the next tear drop falls"
Please keep up with the smiles and reactions. I am loving it.
My favorite REO song was always Riding the Storm Out !
Such a great band. I've seen them in concert 3 times! They are incredible in concert.
Favorite song by them is Take it on the run
'Take it on the run' is a classic.
Reo Speedwagon has over 40 years of amazing songs...check out more of them...the more you hear from them the more you will love them..great band..great guys...lots of uplifting songs from them...check out roll with the changes or say you love me or say goodnight...great piano solo.
They were very popular around 1980 when the "Hi Infidelity" album came out
About 5 years ago, I took my kids to see R.E.O., Def Leppard, and Tesla. They knew every word to every song. So glad you’re loving the 70’s and 80’s. They are the best!
I have this album on vinyl and I played it so much when I was a kid. I loved it so much. Good song choice!
REO Speedwagon was my 1st concert in Erie, PA! They put on a free show on the bay front of Erie!!
The 80's rocked one of my favorite groups when I was a teenager. Still love them today. Time for me to fly, take it on TV the run (yeah it's the video, videos ruled the 80's helped sell song's)
Loving the 70's Rock vibe today.
Amber, you need to listen to Lynard Skynard Simple Man... A mother and son song!!
Love REO Speedwagon!!!!! Gotta do some Cheap Trick, Surrender!
Can't Fight This Feeling is a beautiful song from REO too!
Fun Fact: REO are from my home State, Illinois! Champaign, home of U of I. Their song "Riding The Storm Out" was a true story! Kinda..They were in CO. and it started snowing. They pulled a prank & got list on purpose, only for a HUGE snowstorm, and they were lost for real.
Love me some REO‼️I got to see them live in the 80’s in LA they were fantastic‼️
From what I heard, this was their 1st big radio hit even though they had been around for 10 years, or 10 albums, or something like that. and Amber you're right about the guitar solo, i was wondering how he gets that awesome tone, my guitar sure doesn't sound like that ! Great song, great band, may I suggest : I needed to fall - REO Speedwagon
They had harder radio hits "Roll With The Changes (Keep On Rollin') and "Riding The Storm Out". But this one was more top 40
@@joemachine4714 i used to play Back on the road again in one of my old bands way back in 82
I love REO Speedwagon. So many good songs.
I always found it interesting that the lead singer was originally looking to join a folk group but ended up pairing with a rock group and probably having greater success than he would have had with a folk group. His folk lyrics pairs so well with the faster pace of rock guitar. Love me some REO Speedwagon try “Take It On The Run”. Also the whole music video thing wasn’t really popular when this song came out. FYI Queen are considered the founding fathers of the music video with their creative video for their song “Bohemian Rhapsody”
YAY!!! REO was HUGE in the late 70s to early 80s. I loved the art work on their album covers, check out their "You can tune a piano but you cant tuna fish" album cover. I agree with the other great song suggestions, I would add a smaller hit of theirs that I like called IN YOUR LETTER
I still have my REO Speedwagon t-shirt I caught when they were tossing them out to an eager crowd in 1982 when I saw them in Heidelberg Germany
Another song that keeps bringing back the Solid Gold Dancers to my mind.......
Golden country
Ridin' the storm out
Flying turkey trot (richrath guitar solo)
157 riverside Avenue
Nother rabbit hole...
In my opinion this is absolutely their best song sometimes we get caught up in the lyrics but the music and his voice are amazing great reaction guys.
Great reaction, as always. You guys are awesome. The lead guitarist is the late, great Gary Richrath. The song was written by singer/frontman the Kevin Cronin.
It's funny you should mention about people playing the song at their wedding. You might find this funny, I do.
I heard an interview with Kevin Cronin who said that when people say to him they played the song at their wedding he always thinks did you listen to the rest of the song? Or did you just hear the chorus?
It kind of speaks to infidelity and that is not really conducive to a happy marriage but, you know, to each their own. LOL!!🤣🤣🤣

ROLL WITH THE CHANGES will blow your minds!
Brings back grade school memories on the bus riding to basketball games this song playing with all of us singing along.
Y’all are playing some good songs today sure put a smile on my face!
This song made an outstanding 'cameo' in the epic Jason Statham movie, CRANK: High Voltage - 2009. Hilarious action movie...highly recommend.
REO was one of the premier Stadium Rock Bands who invented the Rock Ballad. Formerly the house band from Garcia's Pizza in Champaign IL at the U of I.
R.I.P. Gary Rickrath. One of the most underrated guitarists in rock history.
