@mcguinn99 Wrong,I read in a interview a while back that The rest of R.E.O went towards having ehalthier lifestyles...
And GR didn;t want to do this ,so he gwas fired.....it had nothign to do with Gary losing his fire at all

Why am I Not Hearng the richrath chirp?
-
Their early bass player Gregg Philbin looked like a 50-year old man who had a part-time job as a custodian.
-
@mcguinn99 Kevin made the band unique. This sounds good, but it sounds like just every other band in the mid 70's... not as much creative or original.
-
Terry made a bad career choice when he left the band to join the band... wait... what were they called???
I heard he's a truck driver now.
-
@1like2rock But without success, the band wouldn't have lasted much longer. With Lutrell or Murphy on vocals, the band wasn't going anywhere, hence the changes made.
-
@nickbrincks but without kevin cronin, they would have remained a rock band with an edge

REO Speedwagon's only #1 hits were written by Kevin Cronin, so people saying he was the beginning of the end of full of it. Without him, they would have never made it to the peak of their career.
One of the great advantages of going to school in the Chicago area in the early 70s. Seeing this band at H.S. sock hops for $1.50. I love to tell about summer of 72 saw that REO was coming to Ft. Wayne. Called my friend Mark to invite him down. He said they changed, got a new singer, Kevin Kronin. I asked whats he like?
(long pause).......well.........he smiles a lot
It was the beginning of the end
