- Aug 04, 2021
In Deutschland waren REO Speedwagon nur eine Randnotiz (“Keep On Loving You“ 1980 #15, “Can‘t Fight This Feeling“ 1985 #34), in ihrer Heimat, den USA, gehören sie zu den Giganten. Gründungsmitglied und bis heute einzige Konstante ist Keyboarder Neal Doughty. Er wird am 29. Juli 75 Jahre alt. REO Speedwagon starteten als blueslastige Hardrock-Band, entwickelten sich mit Sänger Kevin Cronin jedoch hin zu einem bombastischen Sound zwischen Pop und Heavy Rock.
