Was Gregg Philbin related to Regis Philbin?
REO Speedwagon were best known for power ballads. My most favorite songs by the band are "In Your Letter", "That Ain't Love" and "Here With Me".
They were considered more of a pop band, but their only #1 hit, "Can't Fight This Feeling", gets played on the classic rock radio station K-Rock in St. John's.
I am also surprised to learn on Wikipedia that REO Speedwagon were around since the sixties.

REO played at my high school in the summer of 1971. They were the middle act of a three band show. The Dantays were one of the other acts, but I can't remember the other band. |
