REO Speedwagon
Keep On Loving You Performance by REO Speedwagon | The Midnight Special
On December 5, 1980, REO Speedwagon performed their iconic hit "Keep On Loving You" on The Midnight Special. This live recording came shortly after the release of their multi-platinum album "Hi Infidelity," which had launched them into the mainstream stratosphere, featuring a string of hits that solidified their place in rock history. The album, released just a month earlier, had already set the stage for the band's skyrocketing popularity in the early '80s. Fun fact: this was not just a breakthrough moment for the band, but "Keep On Loving You" was one of the first power ballads to light up the charts, showcasing their knack for combining rock energy with heartfelt lyrics. With the energy of a live performance and the recent success of their album, this appearance was a pivotal moment in REO Speedwagon's career.
