In the days of 1980s big-hair bands, REO Speedwagon was . . . not a big-hair band. They had been touring since 1971, with a humble start playing in the bars of Champaign, Illinois, and their solid, blue-collar approach to music allowed for long, but not 'big,' hair. By keeping the music honest and the look simple, the band ground its way to the top, and the result was a platinum single, two gold singles, and nearly 35 years of continuous activity.

REO Speedwagons were versatile 1920s trucks used as fire trucks, delivery vehicles, and in other situations that required dependable power. As this band has chugged along, the name has proved to be an inspired choice.
The original band, with Terry Luttrell on vocals, Gary Richrath on guitar, Neal Doughty on keyboards, Gregg Philbin on bass and Alan Gratzer on drums, drove to gigs in a Chevy station wagon, way down the ladder from a Speedwagon, but the kids at the bars around the University of Illinois appreciated Richrath's fast, loud guitar work.
The REO Speedwagon sound we know best gelled after the band's first album, when a Chicago singer-songwriter, Kevin Cronin, left the coffee-house circuit to become a rock singer at Gary Richrath's urging. Cronin recorded the album R.E.O./T.W.O. with the band, then took off in the middle of the band's third album. He returned in time for their first significant hit, 1977's Live: You Get What You Play For.
