REO Speedwagon
REO Speedwagon is an American rock band formed in 1967, known for power ballads and arena rock hits like "Keep On Loving You" and "Take It on the Runnin'." The band took its name from a flatbed truck designed by Ransom Eli Olds, whose initials form the REO.
They achieved their greatest commercial success in the early 1980s and remain active on the classic rock touring circuit.
